A Textbook of Hydraulics, Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines

A Textbook of Hydraulics, Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines (SI Units) By R.S. Khurmi

First published in 1970 and now well into its later editions, this is a long-standing standard treatise for degree and diploma students studying hydraulics, fluid mechanics, and hydraulic machines. Written specifically for students of Degree and Diploma courses, it has enjoyed a favourable and warm reception across India and abroad through many editions and reprints, with the standard edition rewritten in S.I. units and brought up to date, incorporating changes to widen its scope and utility over successive revisions. The text builds from core mechanics fundamentals — Newton's laws, work, power, energy — through hydraulics theory and into the design and operation of hydraulic machinery itself.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Fundamentals of mechanics (Newton's laws, work, power, energy)

• Properties of fluids and fluid statics

• Fluid kinematics and dynamics

• Flow through pipes and open channels

• Dimensional analysis and similitude

• Impact of jets

• Hydraulic turbines (Pelton, Francis, Kaplan)

• Centrifugal and reciprocating pumps

• Hydraulic machines and hydraulic systems (rams, accumulators, intensifiers)

Key features:

• Long-established standard treatise, in continuous print since 1970

• Rewritten in S.I. units and regularly updated across editions

• Combines fundamental mechanics grounding with applied hydraulic machine design

• Comprehensive scope at roughly 990 pages, suited to both degree and diploma coursework

• Widely read across Indian and international engineering universities

Perfect for:

• Mechanical and civil engineering undergraduates studying fluid mechanics and hydraulics

• Diploma-level students needing a thorough hydraulics reference

• Students studying hydraulic machines (turbines, pumps) specifically

• Practicing engineers needing a classic reference on hydraulic systems
