English | 2009 | ISBN: 8177583646 | PDF | pages: 723 | 18.8 mb
Description This text is designed for the course on fluid mechanics andhydraulic machines offered to the undergraduate students ofmechanical and civil engineering. Written in a lucid style, thebook lays emphasis on explaining the logic and physics of criticalproblems to develop analytical skills in the reader. Over 200 solved problems and numerous practice problems that go beyond the simple formulae-substitution problems. Detailed treatment of fluid dynamics, boundary-layer flow, compressible and incompressible flows, and turbulent flows. Separate chapters on mathematical modelling of flow and non-dimensional analysis. Coverage of various hydraulic machines/systems such as jets, centrifugal pumps, turbines, reciprocating pumps, cranes, lifts, presses and couplings. An appendix on mathematical concepts including vector algebra, calculus, integrals, coordinate systems, tensor notations and conformal mapping.
