Features: This book is compiled based on the teaching syllabus for "Fluid Mechanics" finalized by the National Professional Guidance Committee for Civil Engineering in October 1999. It includes two main parts: fundamental theories and engineering applications. The fundamental theory section covers Introduction, Hydrostatics, Hydrodynamics, Flow Resistance, and Head Loss. The engineering application section includes steady flow through orifices and nozzles, hydraulic calculations for long and short pipes, hydraulic calculations for branched and loop pipe networks, and computational examples. Each chapter includes a sufficient number of exercises with answers. At the end of the book, there are 8 hydraulics experiments listed for institutions with similar equipment to choose from. This book is suitable for undergraduate students of civil engineering.
