Hydraulics (Fifth Edition).

Although this text is devoted mainly to hydraulics, the flow of other liquids and of compressible fluids is briefly discussed in order that the student may be familiar with such common problems and grasp the identity of the basic principles controlling all fluid flow. The material on compressible fluids has been included in such a way as to permit its omission by the instructor or student whose allotted time is limited. This book is designed to meet the needs of students and engineers whose professional work requires a sound knowledge of the fundamental principles of fluid flow, particularly those relative to the field of hydraulics and hydraulic engineering.
