A Text Book Of Fluid Machines

A Text Book Of Fluid Machines by S.S.Rattan

Book Summary:

The book has been written in S.I. units, as most of the universities, have already adopted this system while others are in the process of doing so. The contents of the book has been guided to a considerable extent by the syllabi of various universities and professional bodies. Most of the solved examples and problems at the end of chapters have been taken from their examinations. However, the data bad to be changed to be suitable to S.I. units. The book bas been titled 'Fluid Machines' though in its present form it mainly covers hydraulic machines. This bas been done to facilitate the addition of some more related topics like compressors, fans and blowers in future as the theory underlying these machines is the same.

Audience of the Book :
