ABOUT THE BOOK
Hydraulic Machines by Prof.Jagdish Lal is suggested as reference book for studying the following subjects:
Hydraulic Machinery in Mechanical Engineering Semester 6 (Mumbai University)
During the last decade new technology of FLUIDICS has come in existence, ft is only in 1959 that the three engineers of USA Diamond Ordinance Fuse Lab came up with unique ideas involving the use of flowing fluids to accomplish control function. The new technology of fluids is the combination of fluids application and fluids logic. The last Chapter 17 of the Book which was published in 1973, first ten chapters could be revised. The remaining seven chapters have now been revised. The chapters on Reciprocating Pumps and Centrifugal Pumps have been revised and enlarged. The first edition of the book was brought out in July, 1956 when there was no separate book in English on the subject. At that time the book of Hydraulics on Fluids Mechanics used to deal the whole of matter on Hydraulic Machines in one or two chapters. The book grew out of experience the author had by working in Europian water Turbines and pumps Manufacturers. Though during the last thirty years, a number of books on the subject have been published in India but the importance of this book still remains as ever, because of its originality, giving sufficient practical and design data.
