Flow-Induced Vibration of Power and Process Plant Components: A Practical Workbook

Presents the most common flow-induced vibration problems encountered in the power and process industries, and provides the basic equations and charts engineers need to assess these concerns. Focusing on the physics of the phenomenon, the author provides examples, in dual US and SI units, that diagnose and troubleshoot vibration in quiescent fluids, vortex-induced vibration, turbulence- induced vibration, and acoustically induced vibration. Most of the examples can be solved with pocket calculators and spreadsheets. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
