Fluid mechanics refers to the branch of physics that studies the mechanics of forces acting on fluids such as plasmas, gases and liquids. It is used in many disciplines such as geophysics, meteorology, chemical and biological engineering, mechanical engineering, oceanography, biology, civil engineering and astrophysics. It is classified into two parts including fluid dynamics, which studies the effect of forces on fluid motion, and fluid statics, which studies fluids at rest. Hydraulic machines work by utilizing liquid fluid power to perform their work, such as heavy construction vehicles. These machines generally pump hydraulic fluid to numerous hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors throughout the machine and it gets pressurized based on the resistance. From theories to research to practical applications, studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to fluid mechanics and hydraulic machinery have been included in this book. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
