Hydraulic Book 2

[PUMPDESIGNER]

What are the best books for teaching and explaining hydraulic theory from basic through to advanced theory?

I need these sources to be authoritative and credible, but also include good explanations and examples. Multiple books are required I assume, but if a book tried to cover everything in one shot that would be interesting too.

I plan to use this book or books as references in writing and producing literature for not only my company, but also for a state and national organization.

The literature to be written I would describe as "popularization" of advanced technical concepts, intended to give lower level persons access to the concepts while not necessarily making them capable of design and responsibility.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Parker Hannifin has a series of books just for your requirements.

 

[TBP]

IPT Books publishes a series of trades books, complete with instructor's editions, and one of them is specifically on hydraulics. These are excellent, inexpensive (about $20 Cdn) soft cover books that are small enough to easily fit into a desk drawer or tool box. Dollar for dollar, these are easily the best industrial trades training books I've ever seen.

Fluidpowerzone.com has an electronic hydraulics training program. I have not looked at it for several years, but it seemed ok.

Vickers has a historical library that will cover all your needs.

This forum has some good member entries and resources already listed in the links section under general information.

If these other links check out OK can i suggest adding them to the links (click the links tab above)?

Chadwicke and Morfett Hydraulics Civil Engineers have a good section on pumps as do the standard civil engineering structures textbooks

Part Deux This is a mix of hydrology hydraulics and the best pumping books can be tracked from the reference lists but each hydraulics has some on pump designs One of the better sources of information might be Somerset River Authority and then NRA,EA Bridgwater as they have a range of pump flow problems from beam pump to impellar.

Happy 14 years ahead of you ! I have managed 37 and gone into Fluid Mechanics of plane flow systems interface, but that was UCW Aberystwyth’s “fault” for being so good at the course !

Remember the number of Structures people interested in hydraulics hydrology is low so if you can get to grips with flow mechanics and shear, seepage and geologic, soils work for Design you are a little Unique and works such as Richards and Hey are the rarity, The European on the Montenegro waste tip collapse are interesting articles and you can do worse than read The Guardian and Daily Telegraph news manuscripts on main projects. I suggest looking at a 3D computation software such as MicroGrafx simply 3D and some landscape modelling, you will need all the 3D imagination and preparation you can arrange as well as the photography and subsurface geologic sections, simple observations of surface channel hydraulics and all the plane flow patterns.

But try to think in terms of water flows in fissures and pore space, materials, plane elements and deflection and atmospheric dynamics of cell vapour transfers and you will be well set.

I would not read The New Scientist, try to stay with the physics systems works,
After all Hydrology is a Physical System and Structures are about reality Design, not politics.

Look at Web forums for hydrometeorology, satellite weather and statistics on Australian Climate effects on land use and agriculture and reliability (well researched), then there are the sedimentary basin geomorphology and tectonics sites when you want to become adventurous and get serious about flow and engineering structures. Always check the pipe flow people, they, because of Venturi, Chezy, Froude produce the best hydraulics analyses for structures hydrology. Can send you a CD book but it would require an address not encouraged by the forum and may be more than you wish to endure at present.
Pipeflow is best assessed by searching the formula for your own particular pipe systems and that can be started by using standards hydraulics texts such as Tchobanoglous and Novak, but the treatments are specific.

Well, what can I say MikeHydroPhys, great job, I will save your post and refer to it.
