Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics Including Hydraulic Machines (In SI Units) (Hardcover)

Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics (Including Hydraulic Machines) is a comprehensive book for undergraduate mechanical, civil, aerospace and automobile engineers. The book is intended for a single semester introductory course in fluid mechanics, helping students understand how fluids behave and are classified. It describes the behavior of liquids and gases, helping students understand the concept of fluid pressure and height of a liquid column. The book explains how various fluid pressure measurement systems such as manometers work and how their pressure levels are calculated. It explains principles such as the Bernoulli’s Principle, and helps students learn about Fluid Statics as well as Dynamics. In addition, the book contains a brief introduction to hydraulic machines, helping students learn some basics of the topic before moving onto a more advanced course. It contains a number of solved and unsolved problems to help students learn how to apply the basics in an efficient way so as to gain the maximum marks in the examination. The questions are patterned after those which are repeatedly tested in the exam. The book is an indispensable resource for all GATE aspirants or for students looking to improve their understanding of the subject before moving onto an advanced course in fluid dynamics.
