Fluid System Appendix Index This book on Fluid Mechanics And Hydraulic Machines is meant for the engineering students of mechanical, civil, electrical, aeronautical and chemical and also to the students preparing for the new scheme of Section B of A.M.I.E. Examination of Institution of Engineers (India). The course contents have been planned in such a way that the general requirements of all engineering students are fulfilled. It contains a large number of the questions taken from the examinations of the various universities of India and from other professional and competitive examinations have been solved along with the text in M.K.S. and S.I. units. In this new edition, a new chapter, 'Ideal Flow' (or Potential Flow) has been added. The book has been written in a simple and easy-to-follow language so that even an average student can grasp the subject matter by self-study. A large number type questions with answers have been added in the end of the book. With these additions, it is hoped that the book will be quite useful for the students of different branches of engineering.
