This major new edition of a popular undergraduate text covers
topics of interest to chemical engineers taking courses on fluid
flow. These topics include non-Newtonian flow, gas-liquid two-phase
flow, pumping and mixing. It expands on the explanations of
principles given in the first edition and is more self-contained.
Two strong features of the first edition were the extensive
derivation of equations and worked examples to illustrate
calculation procedures. These have been retained. A new extended
introductory chapter has been provided to give the student a
thorough basis to understand the methods covered in subsequent
chapters.

'This is a beautiful book, a remarkable, cadenced recollection of
how grief lives in the body. It is poetry as a kind of dance. You
have to read it' EDMUND DE WAAL A unique, intimate and beautiful
exploration of grief, loss, healing and faith, that looks back to
the childhood moment when Marie-Elsa R. Bragg's mother took her own
life We sat in the kitchen across the small wooden table from each
other. She cried like banks bursting, then silence; like winds
blowing through her shoulders, chest bouncing, then long shallow
breaths. She ruptured and I watched, still, emotionless. 'You must
stop crying.' When Marie-Elsa R. Bragg was just 6 years old, her
mother committed suicide. Now, many years later, Marie-Elsa returns
to that night. Going back to that moment, inhabiting this defining
tragedy, allows for an exploration of the grief but also brings
healing - as well as the affirmation that it is her experiences as
a priest that have carried her. In a unique and remarkable mix of
prose and poetry, and written partly as a series of unsent letters
to both her mother and father, Sleeping Letters is a way of
connecting to past family, an attempt to reconcile with loss, as
well as a radical exploration of Marie-Elsa's own faith. While
harrowing and unforgettable, it is also an immensely beautiful
book, with a luminous sense of a daughter's love.
