Hydraulic Motors With Related Subjects

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Hydraulic Motors: With Related Subjects, Including Centrifugal Pumps, Pipes, and Open Channels, Designed as a d104book for Engineering Schools By reason of the great increase that has taken place of recent years throughout the world in the utilization of water power, notably in connection with the electric transmission of energy, a special and growing prominence attaches to the subject of Hydraulic Motors in the curriculum of engineering schools. In the preparation of the following pages, as forming a text-book on this important branch of hydraulics for the use of students of engineering, it has been borne in mind that to facilitate the acquirement of clear and sound ideas on the mechanics of the subject is the first essential of such a book; and, as greatly assisting to this end, ample numerical illustration has been provided in direct connection with the necessary algebraic treatment. At the same time, it is believed that sufficient descriptive matter has been introduced, relating to both past and present construction and design, to make the treatment a fairly practical one for its purpose, when regard is had to the limited time available for this subject in the ordinary course of study at an engineering school. Some attention is also given to centrifugal pumps (so much improved of recent years) and other allied appliances; and to special problems, closely connected with the subject of water-power, involving pipes, weirs, and open channels. The experiments of Joukovsky on water-hammer are presented and the theory of this phenomenon is developed. The student is supposed to be already well versed in the part of hydraulics dealing with stationary vessels and pipes, as set forth (for instance) in the writer's Mechanics of Engineering (in referring to which the abbreviation M. of E. is used). It is hoped that the book may prove useful to practising engineers as well as students; in which connection attention is called to the diagrams of friction-heads in pipes and those for determining Kutter's coefficients for open channels. These have been especially prepared for the present work and will be found in the Appendix. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
