Research and Markets: Civil Engineering Hydraulics, 5th Edition

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e5400e/civil_engineering) has
announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Civil
Engineering Hydraulics, 5th Edition" to their offering.

This thorough update of a well-established textbook covers a core subject taught
on every civil engineering course. Now expanded to cover environmental
hydraulics and engineering hydrology, it has been revised to reflect current
practice and course requirements.

As previous editions, it includes substantial worked example sections with an
on-line solution manual. A strength of the book has always been in its
presentation these exercises which has distinguished it from other books on
hydraulics, by enabling students to test their understanding of the theory and
of the methods of analysis and design.

Civil Engineering Hydraulics provides a succinct introduction to the theory of
civil engineering hydraulics, together with a large number of worked examples
and exercise problems with answers. Each chapter includes a worked example
section with solutions; a list of recommended reading; and exercise problems
with answers to enable students to assess their understanding.

The book will be invaluable throughout a student's entire course - but
particularly for first and second year study, and will also be welcomed by
practising engineers as a concise reference.

Key Topics Covered:

* Properties of Fluids.
* Fluid Statics.
* Fluid Flow Concepts and Measurements.
* Flow of Incompressible Fluids in Pipelines.
* Pipe Network Analysis.
