Hydraulic Machines (Fluid Machinery) has been designed as a textbook for engineering students specializing in mechanical, civil, electrical, hydraulics, chemical and power engineering. The highlights of the book are simple language supported by analytical and graphical illustrations. A large number of theory questions and numerical problems with solution hints have been annexed at the end of every chapter. A large number of objective questions have been included to help the students opting for competitive examinations. Five case studies based on research have been included which can be advantageously used by practising engineers pursuing research design and consultancy careers. Complete design of hydraulic machines has been demonstrated with the help of suitable examples. The book has been divided into six parts containing 13 chapters.

The favourable and warm reception,which the previous editions and reprints of this popular book has enjoyed all over India and abroad has been a matter of great satisfaction for me.
Thermal and Hydraulic Machines has been introduced as a core subject for Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical and students of other branches of engineering by various technical universities. The present book has been designed to meet the requirements of teachers and students for the above important subject. The book has been divided into following five units: 1. Thermodynamics and Vapour Power Cycles 2. Steam Turbine and Gas Turbine 3. Compressors and I.C. Engines 4. Hydraulics and Hydraulic Turbines 5. Hydraulic Pumps. The book has been written in simple language duly supplemented by solved numerical problems, diagrams and mathematical analysis. Suggestions and criticism for the improvement of the book are welcome with gratitude.
This comprehensive book is an earnest endeavour to apprise the readers with a thorough understanding of all important basic concepts and methods of fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines. The text is organised into sixteen chapters, out of which the first twelve chapters are more inclined towards imparting the conceptual aspects of fluids mechanics, while the remaining four chapters accentuate more on the details of hydraulic machines. The book is supplemented with solutions manual for instructors containing detailed solutions of all chapter-end unsolved problems. Primarily intended as a text for the undergraduate students of civil, mechanical, chemical and aeronautical engineering, this book will be of immense use to the postgraduate students of hydraulics engineering, water resources engineering, and fluids engineering. Key features • The book describes all concepts in easy-to-grasp language with diagrammatic representation and practical examples. • A variety of worked-out examples are included within the text, illustrating the wide applications of fluid mechanics. • Every chapter comprises summary that presents the main idea and relevant details of the topics discussed. • Almost all chapters incorporate objective type questions of previous years’ GATE examinations, along with their answers and in-depth explanations. • Previous years’ IES conventional questions are provided at the end of most of the chapters. • A set of theoretical questions and numerous unsolved numerical problems are provided at the chapter-end to help the students from practice pointof-view. • Every chapter consists of a section Suggested Reading comprising a list of publications that the students may refer for more detailed information.
Written in an innovative style, this book in SI system of units is a complete treatise on fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines. It presents the subject matter in an explicit, lucid and comprehensive manner. Simple mathematical models have been used to describe the intricate physical concepts.
Vibration of Hydraulic Machinery deals with the vibration problem which has significant influence on the safety and reliable operation of hydraulic machinery. It provides new achievements and the latest developments in these areas, even in the basic areas of this subject. The present book covers the fundamentals of mechanical vibration and rotordynamics as well as their main numerical models and analysis methods for the vibration prediction. The mechanical and hydraulic excitations to the vibration are analyzed, and the pressure fluctuations induced by the unsteady turbulent flow is predicted in order to obtain the unsteady loads. This book also discusses the loads, constraint conditions and the elastic and damping characters of the mechanical system, the structure dynamic analysis, the rotor dynamic analysis and the system instability of hydraulic machines, including the illustration of monitoring system for the instability and the vibration in hydraulic units. All the problems are necessary for vibration prediction of hydraulic machinery.
Intended as a textbook for the undergraduate students of civil and mechanical engineering, this book is the outcome of authors' vast experience in this subject area. It presents the basic theories of hydraulics and all types of hydraulic machines that are used in these days in our day-to-day life. Organized in two parts—Hydraulics (Part I) and Hydraulic Machines (Part II), the book is written in an easy-to-follow method in conformity to the syllabi followed in universities. The chapter end exercises of all the chapters are carefully prepared for the students, which enhance their problem-solving skills. This book is also useful for the students of chemical, electrical and aeronautical engineering. Key Features Copious well-illustrated figures Detailed description of various types of pumps and miscellaneous hydraulic machines Numerous solved problems and unsolved problems with answers Deductions and numerical examples in S.I. Units
This Second Edition of Hydraulic Machines is devoted to the operating principles, design, and performance characteristics of hydraulic machines used in electric power plants, municipal facilities, construction works, hydraulic engineering, industry, and agriculture. You'll learn how to select hydraulic turbines, pumps, and reversible pump-turbines, analyze their efficiency, and maintain them for peak performance. The book emphasizes the types and construction of the machinery, especially the mechanical aspects of their operation, including head, discharge, power, efficiency, cavitation factors, reliability, and maintenance. Performance characteristics and recommendations for their use are provided, in addition to installation and operation guidelines. Data on the characteristics and parameters is presented for easy reference. Numerical examples promote a better understanding of the methods and relationships discussed, and excellent technical drawings help illustrate the design of components and workings of the machinery.
Written primarily for the students of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, “A Textbook of Hydraulic Machines” has been written in lucidly and captures the essence in an apt and non-repetitive manner. Aided by a number of solved problems, including typical examples from examination point of view, the book has been a benchmark in the subject for close to 20 years.
