This book is concerned with the steady state hydraulics of natural
gas and other compressible fluids being transported through
pipelines. Our main approach is to determine the flow rate possible
and compressor station horsepower required within the limitations
of pipe strength, based on the pipe materials and grade. It
addresses the scenarios where one or more compressors may be
required depending on the gas flow rate and if discharge cooling is
needed to limit the gas temperatures. The book is the result of
over 38 years of the authors' experience on pipelines in North and
South America while working for major energy companies such as
ARCO, El Paso Energy, etc.
Each 96 page, hard cover book in the series is 10 1/2" x 7 5/8" and
contains color and black and white photos, drawings, charts, and
catalog facsimiles. Each classic model is presented in its historic
and developmental aspects.
The four volumes of the encyclopedia of Cameroon aviation law are
intended for students, lawyers, judges, scholars, and readers of
all backgrounds with an interest in aviation law and to provide the
definitive corpus of relevant national and regional legislation,
including global aviation treaties and legislation, to enable all
readers, without exception, to develop the background, knowledge,
and tools to understand local, regional, and international aviation
law in a contextual fashion. The first volume has a detailed text
of country legislation, including national cases and materials,
while the second volume focuses on international aviation law
treaties, international cases and materials, and Aircraft Refueling
Indemnity (Tarbox) Agreements.
Much has been written in the West on the history of the Soviet
space program but few Westerners have read direct first-hand
accounts of the men and women who were behind the many Russian
accomplishments in exploring space. The memoir of Academician Boris
Chertok, translated from the original Russian, fills that gap. In
Volume 1 of "Rockets and People," Chertok described his early life
as an aeronautical engineer and his adventures as a member of the
Soviet team that searched postwar, occupied Germany for the
remnants of the Nazi rocket program. In Volume 2, Chertok takes up
the story after his return to the Soviet Union in 1946, when Stalin
ordered the foundation of the postwar missile program at an old
artillery factory northeast of Moscow. Chertok gives an
unprecedented view into the early days of the Soviet missile
program. With a keen talent for combining technical and human
interests, Chertok writes of the origins and creation of the
Baykonur Cosmodrome in a remote desert region of Kazakhstan. He
devotes a substantial portion of Volume 2 to describing the launch
of the first Sputnik satellite and the early lunar and
interplanetary probes designed under legendary Chief Designer
Sergey Korolev in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He ends with a
detailed description of the famous R-16 catastrophe known as the
"Nedelin disaster," which killed scores of engineers during
preparations for a missile launch in 1960.

The purpose of this book, "SCHOOL BUS WISDOM," is to aid the new
school bus driver as well as the seasoned school bus driver in
keeping their attitude, skills, safety performance and their
interaction with students positive, professional, and sharp.
Every School Bus driver who transports a part of that precious
cargo of 24 million students to and from schools across this vast
nation every day, of each school year, will benefit from this
book.
This book has a massive audience: Every School District
throughout this country, as well as the contractors who serve
School Districts which do not operate their own School
Transportation.
The audience also includes Parents and Guardians of students who
ride a School Bus and the combination of material would be valuable
information for the students themselves.
Much of the information found in this book is not included in
current school bus driving manuals or training materials. This is a
collection of thoughts and ideas to help school bus drivers achieve
positive results.
This safety tool would make an excellent gift for all school bus
drivers who qualify for a safety award at the end of the school
year. Read a blog about the book through this link: http:
