Rudimentary Treatise On The Power Of Water: As Applied To Drive Flour Mills, And To Give Motion To Turbines And Other Hydrostatic Engines (1853) is a book written by Joseph Glynn. The book provides a comprehensive guide to the use of water as a source of power and energy for driving flour mills and other hydrostatic engines. It covers the basic principles of hydraulics and hydrostatics, including the properties of water, the laws of motion, and the principles of mechanics. The book also discusses the various types of water wheels and turbines, their design, construction, and operation, as well as the different methods of transmitting power from the water wheel to the mill or other machinery. It also includes practical advice on the management and maintenance of water-powered machinery, as well as the economic considerations involved in their use. Overall, Rudimentary Treatise On The Power Of Water is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of hydrostatic engineering, and for those involved in the design, construction, and operation of water-powered machinery.And An Appendix On Centrifugal And Rotary Pumps.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
