Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines

Divided in two parts, “A Textbook of Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines” is one of the most exhaustive texts on the subject for close to 20 years. For the students of Mechanical Engineering, it can easily be used as a reference text for other courses as well. Important topics ranging from Fluid Dynamics, Laminar Flow and Turbulent Flow to Hydraulic Turbines and Centrifugal pumps are well explained in this book. A total of 23 chapters (combined both units) followed by two special chapters of ‘Universities' Questions (Latest) with Solutions’ and ‘GATE and UPSC Examinations' Questions with Answers/Solutions’ after each unit also make it an excellent resource for aspirants of various entrance examinations.

Key Features:

• Close to 1900 examples, figures, tables and chapter-end highlights aid to the concepts explained.
• Close to 1200 chapter-end questions for practice.
• University Questions, GATE & UPSC Examination Questions and Laboratory Experiments at the end of both parts add to the practice quotient of the students.
