Download or read book FLUID MECHANICS AND TURBO MACHINES written by MADAN MOHAN DAS. This book was released on 2008-06-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primarily designed as a text for the undergraduate students of aeronautical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering and other branches of applied science, this book provides a basic platform in fluid mechanics and turbomachines. The book begins with a description of the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics such as fluid properties, its static and dynamic pressures, buoyancy and floatation, and flow through pipes, orifices, mouthpieces, notches and weirs. Then, it introduces more complex topics like laminar flow and its application, turbulent flow, compressible flow, dimensional analysis and model investigations. Finally, the text elaborates on impact of jets and turbomachines like turbines, pumps and miscellaneous fluid machines. KEY FEATURES : Comprises twenty four methods of flow measurements. Presents derivations of equations in an easy-to-understand manner. Contains numerous solved numerical problems in S.I. units. Includes unsteady equations of continuity and dynamic equation of gradually varied flow in open channel.
