This hardback book (and the others from this same engineering series…also currently running) are incredible!! ~~~ titled; "HYDRAULICS" / by H.P. HAMMOND / Copyright 1942 ~~//~~ This easily written and profusely illustrated book is in excellent condition. Pages are clear and supple! Tightly intact inside of midnight blue embossed, leather (thin) covers. 102 + sharply detailed etching-type figures and line cuts, absolutely must be seen! Vividly depicting all sorts of power work including; Weir construction, stream flow measurement apparatus, channel discharge, meter workings, dam pressure, water instruments +++. Light edge wear and faint cover dirt are the only small flaws to the outside of this 66-year-old original. Mild page yellowing is the lone thing keeping the interior of this (5" by 7 3/4") beauty from perfection. That’s it! Its 290 + blue edged, heavy rag pages have no foxing rips tears brittleness dogears wrinkles waving odor underlines marks of anykind or even a fingeredge smudge. A complete list of the fascinating sections, (and a sample of the many chapters) contained within includes; Hydrostatics: Physical Properties of Liquids; VISCOSITY / CAPILLARITY + ~ Accuracy in Computations and Measurements + ~ Intensity of Pressure ~ Unit Pressures in Liquids; PASCAL'S LAW / HYDROSTATIC PARADOX / GAGE PRESSURE IN LIQUIDS + ~ Measurement of Unit Pressure; ORDINARY PIEZOMETER OR WATER GAGE / MERCURY POT GAGE / BOURDON GAGE / ATTACHMENT OF GAGES + ~ Resultant Pressures on Immersed Plane Surfaces ~ Amount of Resultant Pressure; GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF PRESSURE + ~ Center of Pressure; MOMENTS OF INERTIA OF SECTIONS + ~ Pressure on Gates and Dams + ~ Pressure on Curved Surfaces ~ Buoyancy and Floatation; BUOYANT FORCE + ~~//~~ Discharge of Orafices, Tubes and Weirs ~ Nature of Liquid Flow; MEAN VELOCITY + ~ Energy of Liquids; POWER / HEAD + ~ Bernoulli's Theorum ~ The Venturi Meter; PRACTICAL FEATURES + ~ Flow Through Orafices ~ Standard Orafices; MINER'S INCH + ~ Flow Through Special Orafices; SUBMERGED ORAFICES / PIPE ORAFICES + ~ Flow Through Nozzles and Tubes; FIRE NOZZLES / STANDARD SHORT TUBE + ~ Loss of Head in Orafices, Nozzles and Tubes; EFFICIENCY + ~ Discharge of Weirs; STANDARD "" / FRANCIS FORMULAS FOR RECTANGULAR WEIRS / BAZIN AND REHBOCK "" + ~ Discharge Under Falling Head + ~~~//~~~ Hydraulics Part III: Flow Through Pipes ~ Explanations; PIPES AND OPEN CHANNELS / LOSSES OF HEAD + ~ Uniform Flow Without Minor Losses ~ Formulas for Friction Loss; CHEZY-DARCY FORMULA / HYDRAULIC GRADIENT + ~ Velocity and Discharge by Chezy-Darcy Formula ~ Diameter by "" ~ Velocity and Discharge by Hazen-Williams Formula ~ Diameter by "" ~ Velocity and Discharge by "" ~ Flow With Minor Losses of Head ~ Computation of Minor Losses ~ Formulas for Flow in Pipes with Minor Losses ~ Hydraulic Gradient ""; CONSTRUCTION OF HYDRAULIC GRADE LINE + ~ Non-Uniform Flow in Pipes ~ Pipe With Nozzle ~ Compound Pipes; HYDRAULIC GRADE LINE FOR PIPES COMPOUNDED IN SERIES + ~ Power Delivered by or to Water Flowing in a Pipe; POWER DELIVERED TO WATER TURBINE / POWER REQUIRED FROM PUMP + ~~~//~~~ part IV: Flow in Open Channels ~ Types of Open Channels ~ Factors Affecting Flow In Open Channels; HYDRAULIC RADIUS / KUTTER'S FORMULA FOR C + ~ Discharge and Design of Open Channels ~ Determination of Discharge; MAXIMUM DISCHARGE OF COVERED CHANNELS / DISCHARGE OF CIRCULAR SECTIONS + ~ Determination of Size of Channel; DESIGN OF TRAPEZOIDAL SECTIONS + ~ Computation of Slope ~ Stream Gaging ~ Stream Gaging by Velocity Area Method ~ Gaging Station ~ Rating Current Meter; FIELD NOTES + ~ Determining Discharge by Current Meter; POINT METHOD / CURRENT-METER NOTES + ~ Measurement of Velocities by Floats; ROD FLOATS / SUBSURFACE OR DOUBLE FLOATS + ~ Determination of Discharge by Floats ~ Measurement of Stream by Means of Weirs ~ Comparison of Methods Gaging Streams ~ Discharge Table and Curve +++ many others. With numerous even more specific sub-chapters. Have I mentioned (lately) the intricately detailed illustrations found throughout this book? Pics alone make this one a must have. Treat Yourself, the water energy buff, power historian or anyone intrigued by the (relatively) early science of hydraulics to this find!
