4th paragraph

Pg 75, bottom of page: I switched the words “above” and “below”.
It should read “Therefore, at temperatures above the glass …., are used below this temperature while elastomers, like rubber, are used above this temperature.”

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please reverse words as indicated.

2nd paragraph

The right hand side of the pressure drop calculation is incorrect.

Both the C and Q value should be raised to the 1.85 power first. Please reference one source at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazen%E2%80%93Williams_equation
under "Customary US Units" You can use those numerical values, other sources have as I do. Basically, the parenthesis symbol needs to be removed and the C raised to the 1.85 power.

It should read, using text commands, mathematical formulation is best:

= 4.524 * Q^1.85/(C^1.85 * d^4.87)
