Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics: A Text-Book Covering the Syllabuses of the B. Sc., I.C.E., and I. Mech. E. Examinations in This Subject (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025727127)

"Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics" is a comprehensive and authoritative textbook designed to cover the essential principles of fluid behavior and hydraulic engineering. Written specifically to meet the rigorous requirements of university-level engineering syllabuses and professional examinations, this work provides a deep dive into the mechanics of liquids and gases. It explores fundamental concepts such as hydrostatics, the laws of fluid motion, and the practical application of these principles in various engineering contexts.

The text systematically addresses topics including flow through orifices and notches, friction in pipes, the dynamics of water wheels, and the operation of centrifugal pumps and turbines. Lewitt's methodical approach ensures that complex mathematical formulations are grounded in practical utility, making it an indispensable resource for students of civil and mechanical engineering. With its clear explanations and focus on the technical requirements of the field, "Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics" remains a significant historical reference for the development of hydraulic theory and practice. Its structured presentation of formulas and experimental data offers a foundational understanding of the forces that govern fluid systems in industrial and civil applications.
