Book Description

Fluids are substances such as water, oil, air etc which are capable of changing their shape and flowing in contrast to solids. Fluids are divided into two classes: Liquids and Gases. Basic study includes the laws of floating bodies, the treatment of flow under various conditions, and ways of directing this flow to useful ends. This edition of Fluids Handling has been updated and expanded, and includes several new articles. Most of the information provided is of a general nature rather than that of specific projects or components.
