Water Hydraulics

Fundamentals for the Water and Wastewater Maintenance Operator

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Water Hydraulics: This volume is the first training book to explain water hydraulics in the context of treatment plants, presenting hydraulic theory and calculations in terms of the machinery and unit operations familiar to operators. It covers hydraulics as related to keeping water moving from one unit process to the next, including maintaining proper settling times and settling velocity, and providing lift to higher elevations. The book is clearly illustrated with key ideas and highlighted points throughout.
