Fluid Mechanics with Engineering Applications (SI Metric Edition)

Fluid Mechanics with Engineering Applications (SI Metric Edition)
By R.L. Daugherty

Originally published in 1916 under the title "Hydraulics" and revised four times before Professor Daugherty was joined by Dr. Alfred C. Ingersoll for the fifth edition, at which point the book took its current title. Thousands of engineering students and practitioners around the world have used this book for well over 80 years, and it has since moved into its third generation of authorship, retaining the same basic philosophy and presentation of fluid mechanics as an engineering subject originally developed by Daugherty over his many years of teaching at Cornell, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Caltech. The book focuses primarily on civil, environmental, and agricultural engineering problems, though mechanical and aerospace engineering topics are also strongly represented, and it's written to serve as a text for a first course in fluid mechanics with enough breadth to support a second course as well. Because metrification was underway at the time of this edition's writing, both English and metric (SI) units are used throughout, with quantities generally expressed in English units followed by the corresponding metric value in parentheses.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Properties of fluids
• Fluid statics
• Fluid flow concepts and basic equations
• Dimensional analysis and dynamic similitude
• Flow of an incompressible fluid in pipes
• Fluid measurements
• Steady flow in open channels
• Hydraulic machinery (pumps and turbines)
• Compressible flow
• Fluid systems and control-volume relationships for continuum, energy, and momentum

Key features:

• Over 80 years of continuous refinement across multiple generations of authorship
• Dual English/metric units throughout, easing the transition to SI-based practice
• Broad enough coverage to support both first and second fluid mechanics courses
• Strong grounding in civil, environmental, and agricultural engineering applications alongside mechanical/aerospace topics
• Long-standing status as one of the most widely used fluid mechanics texts in engineering education

Perfect for:

• Civil, environmental, and mechanical engineering students taking their first fluid mechanics course
• Students needing a text broad enough for a follow-on second course
• Practicing engineers working across hydraulics, hydraulic machinery, or compressible flow
• Students transitioning between English and SI unit systems in their coursework
