DESCRIPTION:
"A useful book with lots of typographical errors" according to Kit Burton. This book pertains to the solution of ordinary differential equations as applied to the solution of one-dimensional open channel flow problems. It is lacks a thorough treatment of the theoretical basis of the equations and therefore the reader should refer to the excellent texts by Chow and Henderson. Relatively few diagrams are used to help understand the physical concepts where again the other more fundamental texts are bette
The book supplies the knowledge tools necessary to analyze and design economical and properly performing conveyance systems. The author uses Fortran as the software to supply the computer instruction but covers math software packages such as MathCad, TK-Solver, MATLAB, and spreadsheets so that readers can use the instruments with which they are the most familiar. Packed with examples, the book includes problems at the end of each chapter that give readers experience in applying the principles and often expand upon the methodologies use in the text. Thus not only is the book useful for graduate students, but it also provides professional engineers the expertise and knowledge to design well performing and economical channel systems.. With th
