Résumé

This second edition of a well established and highly regarded text has been comprehensively refined and updated, based on the author's experience and feedback from using the original edition during the years since its first publication in the early 1990's.

The book is split into three parts. Part 1 introduces the physical concepts of the subject and describes various methods for transient control and suppression. Part 2 is for the more experienced user and describes how to approach the task of assessing to what extent systems might be at risk. It uses eight representative systems and goes on to describe a range of accidents and incidents arising from unexpected causes. Part 3 provides a database to use in the assessment of pipe systems and the design of protective strategies.

L'auteur - A.R. David Thorley

Professor Thorley's engineering career began as an apprentice in the automobile industry, followed by a period as a graduate engineer in the electricity supply industry. Since joining the academic sector, he has maintained strong links with industry through extensive consultancy, research and development. This latter activity has been concerned with a variety of projects in the field of fluid engineering, predominantly concerned with the design of safe and reliable piping systems for the water, oil, nuclear and petrochemical industries, for which he has acquired an international reputation.
