Hydraulics for Engineers: including Turbines and Pumps and Unsteady Motion

Abstract

IN view of the rapid development of the exploitation of hydro-electric power in Canada and the United States, the subject of hydraulics is of outstanding importance to engineers in North America. A new textbook on the subject by the professor of mechanical engineering in the University of Toronto naturally, therefore, arouses interest as to the treatment accorded to the problems which present themselves in connexion with turbine installations. Including centrifugal pumps, Prof. Angus devotes rather more than a third of his book to the consideration of this subject, and within this space gives an effective résumé of the conditions to be met and the calculations involved in design.
