Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering Systems
Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering Systems, Fourth Edition is a very useful reference for practicing engineers who want to review basic principles and their applications in hydraulic engineering systems. This fundamental treatment of engineering hydraulics balances theory with practical design solutions to common engineering problems. The author examines the most common topics in hydraulics, including hydrostatics, pipe flow, pipelines, pipe networks, pumps, open channel flow, hydraulic...

This book provides a fundamental treatment of engineeringhydraulics. It is intended to bridge the gap between basicprinciples and techniques applied to design and analysis ofhydraulic engineering systems. Booknews A textbook for a one-semester, three-hour undergraduate engineering course, with enough material to choose among several application chapters. A previous course is fluid mechanics is recommended but not required. For the third edition about half the problems are new are revised, a chapter is added on hydrology, and the use of a computer is encouraged for iterative problems. No dates are noted for the previous editions. Computer software is being developed to accompany the text. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
