Title StatementHydraulics by H.W. King, C.O. Wisler, and J.G. Woodburn
Edition Statement5th ed
Physical Descriptionxii, 351p. illus., figures, tables
Summary, Etc.The purpose of this revision is (1) to improve the clarity and arrangement of the text and problems in the light of continued experience in the use of the book with classes in elementary hydraulics, (2) to add new problems illustrating applications of basic theory to certain engineering problems not previously covered, and (3) to expand the text material somewhat to include new developments in theory and practice which have been accepted in the past few years as an integral part of hydraulic engineering. Changes to improve the wording and clarify the meaning have been made in many places throughout the book. Nearly all the problems of the fourth edition have been retained, although with some rearrangement to provide a more logical order. A number of new examples and problems have been added. New text material is introduced on the variation of hydrostatic pressure with altitude in a compressible fluid, on the fluid, on the flow through gates and over dams, on the general consideration of the flow of liquids in pipes, on the analysis of flow in pipe networks,and on the resistance offered to motion of objects through a fluid. To give students an elementary knowledge in the field of hydraulic model testing, in which they are finding employment in increasing numbers, a chapter on hydraulic similitude and dimensional analysis has been added. Although a quarter century has elapsed since this book was first prepared, the authors have no fault to find with the statements made in the preface to the first edition. The book is still intended to present to the engineering student or to the practicing engineer the fundamental principles relating to fluids at rest or in motion as they apply to engineering practice and to illustrate those principles with practical problems
