DESCRIPTION
Hydraulics by R. L. Daugherty explains centrifugal pumps, turbines, and pipe lines with a practical, design‑oriented approach. The text shows how head, speed, and discharge interact and how to estimate efficiency and power from real operating data.
Readers will see how to apply key equations to real machines, understand factors that affect performance, and use specific speed as a guide for pump selection. The material emphasizes testing, measurement, and design considerations that matter in everyday hydraulic work.
- How head, speed, and discharge relate in pumps and turbines, and what that means for efficiency
- The concept of specific speed and its role in choosing pump types and layouts
- How to analyze operation at different speeds and under changing heads
- Practical methods for estimating pipe‑line losses, power requirements, and overall system efficiency
Ideal for readers of engineering texts dealing with pumps, turbines, and water‑transport systems.
