Print on Demand. A concise text on the hydrodynamics of water, this book serves as a helpful guide for both students and practicing engineers seeking to apply fluid mechanics to practical problems. The author provides a clear exposition of fundamental principles. He explains the application of Bernoullis theorem as the key to rational treatment of the subject, ensuring that students understand that the famous speed-pressure equation only applies in special cases. Through a combination of rigorous mathematics and empirical formulas, and experimental coefficients, the author presents a more complete picture of fluid dynamics that is not solely reliant on pure reason or experimentation. This pragmatic approach enables readers to apply theory to any given water power plant, compute or estimate results for which satisfactory data is lacking, and apply experimental factors and empirical formulas with an understanding of their limitations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Hydraulics by R.

L. Daugherty explains centrifugal pumps, turbines, and pipe lines with a practical, design‑oriented approach. The text shows how head, speed, and discharge interact and how to estimate efficiency and power from real operating data.

Readers will see how to apply key equations to real machines, understand factors that affect performance, and use specific speed as a guide for pump selection. The material emphasizes testing, measurement, and design considerations that matter in everyday hydraulic work.

How head, speed, and discharge relate in pumps and turbines, and what that means for efficiency
The concept of specific speed and its role in choosing pump types and layouts
How to analyze operation at different speeds and under changing heads
Practical methods for estimating pipe‑line losses, power requirements, and overall system efficiency

Ideal for readers of engineering texts dealing with pumps, turbines, and water‑transport systems.
