It was given to me free of charge by the Cr the business account at Liquid Carbonic Division of General Dynamics in Chicago, w I had just completed my first year practicing engineering at Liquid Carbonic's aff Jamaica Oxygen and Acetylene Ltd. and Jamaica Carbonics. I had spent a year in Ja Manager, replacing Alf Newton who had gone to Barbados and Trinidad to erect a sma Barbados and an industrial gas facility (Oxygen and Acetylene) at Biljah Road in T My original copy was the 1957 copyrighted version, sixth printing. It had a stat This was my first experience in dealing with fluid flow problems using the Darcy e corresponding Moody Chart. At Texas A&M we were taught the Fanning equation and i friction factor (the Darcy friction factor = 4 x the Fanning friction factor). We had never been exposed to such practical and detailed fluid flow problems at Te was not only interesting, but it also taught the young engineer how to cope with a plant fluid problems. I went through all 27 example problems which were given in Later, during my tenure at Quaker Oats Chemical Division in Chicago (1968 - 1973), of the 1965 Crane version (9th printing). The example problems were basically the the same manner as in the 1957 version. The 1965 version had a stated price of $ When I worked for Allstates Engineering on DuPont projects (1989 -1994) I obtained printing) and it had a stated price of $8.00. This is the version that this Work I still retain the original 1957 version copy, although the original hard, orange have cracked and disintegrated from the stainless steel spiral hinge. I have transcribed the Example problems given in the 1979 (18th printing) Edition added those problems that were given in the 1957 Edition but were not included in I have included in each of the 1979 Example problem solutions those solutions that and that were resolved in a different manner. This enables the reader to see the solving these problems and how the methods have increased the accuracy of the answ My reason for transcribing these Example problems into the Spreadsheet format is t method by which an engineer can quickly detect the methodology and follow the math Emphasis is put on the logic and reasoning employed rather than worrying about the The spreadsheet allows the reader to insert a variety of different input values an in absorbing the manner in which the ultimate answer is affected.
