Hydromechanics: An Elementary Treatise is a book written by Philip Rounseville Alger in 1905. The book is intended for the use of midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy and provides an introduction to the principles of hydromechanics. The book covers a range of topics related to the mechanics of fluids, including hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, and the theory of waves. It also includes discussions on the properties of fluids, such as viscosity and compressibility, and how these properties affect fluid behavior. The author uses a clear and concise writing style to explain complex concepts, making the book accessible to readers with a basic understanding of mathematics and physics. The book also includes numerous diagrams and illustrations to aid in understanding the material.Overall, Hydromechanics: An Elementary Treatise is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the mechanics of fluids, and especially for midshipmen and other students studying naval architecture and marine engineering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
