Good Text/Book on pipe system design
(OP)
Hello, we are finally taking a piping system design course in my mech engineering program, and we have been stuck with a new teacher who is somewhat less than stellar. I realize this forum is about professional engineering queries, but my last work term was with a company that required a lot of pipe system design, and I believe I'll be returning to that company after this semester. It is very important to me that I know how to do this sort of thing, and do it well. This course has no textbook, all of the notes come in handouts, however they are far from complete, noone in the class seems to know what is going on. If anyone could reccomend a good book that they use to reference while desgining piping systems, I would greatly appreciate it.
Regards
