Advanced Concepts in Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics Machines

With an emphasis on their applications in hydraulic systems and equipment, Advanced Concepts in Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines explores the most complex ideas of fluid mechanics. The book provides a thorough manual for comprehending intricate fluid behaviours and how they interact with hydraulic machinery, which is crucial for engineers working with fluid systems. Following a thorough introduction to fluid characteristics, the book moves on to more complicated subjects including turbulent flow, boundary layers, and multi-phase fluid systems. It places a strong emphasis on analytical methods and computational tools like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which are used in contemporary engineering practice. Theoretical considerations of important subjects are introduced in each chapter, followed by real-world fluid flow mathematical models and practical insights. This book is unusual in that it focusses on hydraulic equipment, which are essential parts of sectors including aerospace, water treatment, and power generating. Comprehensive chapters address the design and functioning of compressors, pumps, and turbines in addition to talks on energy efficiency, hydraulic system troubleshooting, and performance optimisation. Advanced Concepts in Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines provides readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to address the difficulties of developing, evaluating, and enhancing hydraulic systems in a variety of industrial applications via its thorough case studies and problem-solving format.
