Internal Flow Systems

Subjects
Internal Flow Systems is the standard reference for engineers concerned with 1D CFD involving the Thermodynamics and Fluid Dynamics of systems. Subjects covered in this book include: Origins of Pressure Losses, Calculation of System Pressure, Flow or Size, Management of Design of Flow Size, Internal Flows, Cavitation, Compressible Flow, Friction in Pipes and Passages, Turning Flow - Bends, Correcting for Bend-Bend Interactions, Diffusion - Diffusers, Combined Turning and Diffusion Flow, Dividing and Combining Flow, Miscellaneous System Components.
History
‘Internal Flow Systems’ is a scientific textbook by Donald S. Miller, first published in 1978. Originally published by BHRA Fluid Engineering, ‘Internal Flow Systems’ is now in its third edition after further releases in 1986 and 1998. Over a ten-year period Miller gathered data from the BHR Group Library (formally known as BHRA - British Hydrodynamics Research Association).
In 2015, Donald Miller released a sister e-Book ‘Internal Flow Systems’ called which was a commentary on how his seminal book came into being, how it evolved over the years, and new insights not available to him in 1978.
Uses
The test data and procedures inside the book have been adopted worldwide by many companies as an essential part of their design and analysis methods for 1D thermo-fluid pipe and ducting network modeling. ‘Internal Flow Systems’ contains comprehensive information to allow scientists and engineers to carry out design and performance predictions of equipment in pipe and duct systems that can range from central heating systems to hydro-electric power schemes, and from automobile ventilation to emergency relief systems in process plants. This book is used by practitioners, researchers, lecturers and students of any thermo-fluid system for automotive, offshore, civil, process, manufacturing, power and water engineering applications.
‘Internal Flow Systems' data was also used in the development of FloMASTER™ (formerly called Flowmaster™).
