Hydraulic Machines Including Fluidics 6th Edition by Jagdish Lal ISBN 812000440X 978-8120004405

During the last decade new technology of FLUIDICS has come in existence. It 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 this Book is Written on the elements of fluids. For fifth edition of this 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 & Centrifugal Pumps have now 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 books of Hydraulics on Fluid Mechanics used to deal with the whole of matter on Hydraulic Machines in one or two chapters. This book grew out of the experience the author had by working with European Water Turbines and Pumps manufacturers. Though, during the last thirty five years a number of books on the subject have been published in India, but the importance of this book remains as ever because of its originality and also giving sufficient practical design and data.
