Abstract
The flow of fluids through pipes may be either laminar or turbulent as defined on page xiv. Flow in a closed pipe results from a pressure difference between inlet and outlet. The pressure is affected by fluid properties and flow rate. When the flow velocity is significant compared with the sonic velocity of the fluid medium (as in compressible flows) the sonic velocity must also be included.
