Applied Mathematics for the Petroleum and Other Industries, 5th Ed.

Employees, students, and others who are involved in the petroleum and other industries are discovering that operation of their facilities includes equipment, products, and systems requiring knowledge of mathematics. From the simplest valve to the automated operation of sophisticated production systems, mathematics is an integral part of understanding how they function. This edition of Applied Mathematics for the Petroleum and Other Industries is designed to provide both a text and reference source in one book that covers basic mathematics as well as advanced technology. Using a handheld calculator with basic mathematic functions as well as specialized functions (such as exponents, logic functions, trigonometric functions, etc.) is suggested as the book is studied. When used as a technical reference, the book gives basic guidelines and examples in a number of mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical subjects that are commonly found in the field. Each chapter includes objectives, how-to inf
