Water Power Engineering

Description

The water of the oceans and water bodies on land are evaporated by the energy of the sun's heat and gets transported to great heights as water vapor. Water power engineering involves the harnessing of energy from moving water to generate electricity. Hydroelectric power is one of the oldest and most established forms of renewable energy. Water power engineering encompasses the design, construction, and operation of hydroelectric power plants and other water power systems. This book covers the fundamentals of water power engineering, including hydrology, hydraulics, turbine design, and the design and operation of hydroelectric power plants. It is an excellent resource for students and professionals in the fields of civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and energy engineering.
