Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1-Defination Of Hydraulic Jack:-
A hydraulic jack is a device used to lift
heavy loads. The device itself is light, compact and portable, but is capable of
exerting great force. The device pushes liquid against a piston; pressure is built in
the jack's container. The jack is based on Pascal's law that the pressure of a liquid
in a container is the same at all points.

1.2-Introduction:-
A hydraulic jack is a jack that uses a liquid to push against a
piston. This is based on Pascal’s Principle. The principle states that pressure in a
closed container is the same at all points. If there are two cylinders connected,
applying force to the smaller cylinder will result in the same amount of pressure in
the larger cylinder. However, since the larger cylinder has more area, the resulting
force will be greater. In other words, an increase in area leads to an increase in
force. The greater the difference in size between the two cylinders, the greater the
increase in the force will be. A hydraulic jack operates based on this two cylinder
system.

1.3-Pascal’s law :-
Pressure on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished and
acts with equal force on equal areas and at 90 degrees to the container wall.

A fluid, such as oil, is displaced when either piston is pushed

inward. The small piston, for a given distance of movement, displaces a smaller
amount of volume than the large piston, which is proportional to the ratio of areas
of the heads of the pistons. Therefore, the small piston must be moved a large
distance to get the large piston to move significantly. The distance the large piston
will move is the distance that the small piston is moved divided by the ratio of the
areas of the heads of the pistons. This is how energy, in the form of work in this
case, is conserved and the Law of Conservation of Energy is satisfied. Work is
Page no:10
` www.mechengg.net
force times distance, and since the force is increased on the larger piston, the
distance the force is applied over must be decreased.

1.4-History:-
The Origin Of Hydraulic Jacks Can Be Dated Several Years Ago
When Richard Dudgeon, The Owner And Inventor Of Hydraulic Jacks, Started A
Machine Shop. In The Year 1851, He Was Granted A Patent For His Hydraulic
Jack. In The Year 1855, He Literally Amazed Onlookers In New York When He
Drove From His Abode To His Place Of Work In A Steam Carriage. It Produced A
Very Weird Noise That Disturbed The Horses And So Its Usage Was Limited To
A Single Street. Richard Made A Claim That His Invention Had The Power To
Carry Near About 10 People On A Single Barrel Of Anthracite Coal At A Speed
Of 14 M.P.H. Dudgeon Deserves A Special Credit For His Innumerable Inventions
Including The Roller Boiler Tube Expanders, Filter Press Jacks, Pulling Jacks,
Heavy Plate Hydraulic Hole Punches And Various Kinds Of Lifting Jacks.

1.5-Features:-
The jack uses compressible fluid, which is forced into a cylinder by
a plunger. Oil is usually used for the liquid because it is self-lubricating and has
stability compared with other liquids. When the plunger comes up, it pulls the
liquid through a check valve suction pump. When the plunger is lowered again, it
sends liquid through another valve into a cylinder. A ball used for suction in the
cylinder shuts the cylinder and pressure builds up in the cylinder. The suction
valve present in the jack opens at each draw of the plunger. The discharge valve,
which is outside the jack, opens when oil is pushed into the cylinder. The pressure
of the liquid enables the device to lift heavy loads.

1.6-Classification Of Jack:-

Page no:11
` www.mechengg.net
1.6.1-Mechanical jack:-

Fig 1.1 Mechanical jack

Jackscrews are integral to the Scissor Jack, one of the simplest kinds of car jacks
still used.

A mechanical jack is a device which lifts heavy equipment. The

most common form is a car jack, floor jack or garage jack which lifts vehicles so
that maintenance can be performed. Car jacks usually use Mechanical advantage to
allow a human to lift a vehicle by manual force alone. More powerful jacks use
hydraulic power to provide more lift over greater distances. Mechanical jacks are
usually rated for a maximum lifting capacity (for example, 1.5 tons or 3 tons). The
jack shown at the right is made for a modern vehicle and the notch fits into a hard
point on a unibody. Earlier versions have a platform to lift on the vehicles' frame or
axle.

1.6.2-Hydraulic jack:-

Hydraulic jacks are typically used for shop work, rather

than as an emergency jack to be carried with the vehicle. Use of jacks not designed
for a specific vehicle requires more than the usual care in selecting ground
conditions, the jacking point on the vehicle, and to ensure stability when the jack is
extended. Hydraulic jacks are often used to lift elevators in low and medium rise
buildings.

A hydraulic jack uses a fluid, which is incompressible, that

is forced into a cylinder by a pump plunger. Oil is used since it is self lubricating
and stable. When the plunger pulls back, it draws oil out of the reservoir through a
suction check valve into the pump chamber. When the plunger moves forward, it
pushes the oil through a discharge check valve into the cylinder. The suction valve
Page no:12
` www.mechengg.net
ball is within the chamber and opens with each draw of the plunger. The discharge
valve ball is outside the chamber and opens when the oil is pushed into the
cylinder. At this point the suction ball within the chamber is forced shut and oil
pressure builds in the cylinder.

In a bottle jack the piston is vertical and directly supports a

bearing pad that contacts the object being lifted. With a single action piston the lift
is somewhat less than twice the collapsed height of the jack, making it suitable
only for vehicles with a relatively high clearance. For lifting structures such as
houses the hydraulic interconnection of multiple vertical jacks through valves
enables the even distribution of forces while enabling close control of the lift.

In a floor jack (aka 'trolley jack') a horizontal piston pushes on

the short end of a bellcrank with the long arm providing the vertical motion to a
lifting pad, kept horizontal with a horizontal linkage. Floor jacks usually include
castors and wheels, allowing compensation for the arc taken by the lifting pad.
This mechanism provide a low profile when collapsed, for easy maneuvering
underneath the vehicle, while allowing considerable extension.

1.6.3- Pneumatic jack:-

A pneumatic jack is a hydraulic jack that is actuated by

compressed air - for example, air from a compressor instead of human work. This
eliminates the need for the user to actuate the hydraulic mechanism, saving effort
and potentially increasing speed. Sometimes, such jacks are also able to be
operated by the normal hydraulic actuation method, thereby retaining functionality,
even if a source of compressed air is not available.

1.6.3- Pneumatic jack:-

Fig 1.2 Threaded rod 7" fully extended

Fig 1.3 2.5 ton house jack that stands 24 inches from top to bottom fully
threaded out.

A house jack, also called a screw jack is a mechanical

device primarily used to lift houses from their foundation. A series of jacks are
used and then wood cribbing temporarily supports the structure. This process is
repeated until the desired height is reached. The house jack can be used for jacking
carrying beams that have settled or for installing new structural beams. On the top
of the jack is a cast iron circular pad that the 4" × 4" post is resting on. This pad
moves independently of the house jack so that it does not turn as the acme-
threaded rod is turned up with a metal rod. This piece tilts very slightly but not
enough to render the post dangerously out of plumb

1.6.4- Strand jack:-
A strand jack is a specialized hydraulic jack that grips steel
cables often used in concert, strand jacks can lift hundreds of tons and are used in
engineering and construction.

1.7-Working Principal:-
The hydraulic jack is a device used for lifting heavy loads by
the application of much smaller force. It is based on Pascal’s law, which states that
intensity of pressure is transmitted equally in all directions through a mass of fluid
at rest.

The working principle of a hydraulic jack may be explained

with the help of Fig. Consider a ram and plunger, operating in two cylinders of
different diameters, which are interconnected at the bottom, through a chamber,
which is filled with some liquid.

Fig 1.4 Consider a ram and plunger,

1.8-Working Of Hydraulic Jack:-
Hydraulic jacks and many other technological advancements such as
automobile brakes and dental chairs work on the basis of Pascal's Principle, named
for Blaise Pascal, who lived in the seventeenth century. Basically, the principle
states that the pressure in a closed container is the same at all points. Pressure is
described mathematically by a Force divided by Area. Therefore if you have two

Page no:15
` www.mechengg.net
cylinders connected together, a small one and a large one, and apply a small Force
to the small cylinder, this would result in a given pressure. By Pascal's Principle,
this pressure would be the same in the larger cylinder, but since the larger cylinder
has more area, the force emitted by the second cylinder would be greater. This is
represented by rearranging the pressure formula P = F/A, to F = PA. The pressure
stayed the same in the second cylinder, but Area was increased, resulting in a
larger Force. The greater the differences in the areas of the cylinders, the greater
the potential force output of the big cylinder. A hydraulic jack is simply two
cylinders connected as described above.

An enclosed fluid under pressure exerts that pressure throughout its

volume and against any surface containing it. That's called 'Pascal's Principle', and
allows a hydraulic lift to generate large amounts of force from the application of a
small
Assume a small piston (one square inch area) applies a weight of 1 lbs. to
a confined hydraulic fluid. That provides a pressure of 1 lbs. per square inch
throughout the fluid. If another larger piston with an area of 10 square inches is in
contact with the fluid, that piston will feel a force of 1 lbs/square inch x 10 square
inches = 10 lbs

Fig 1.5 Working Of Hydraulic Jack:-

Page no:16
` www.mechengg.net

So we can apply 1 lbs. to the small piston and get 10 lbs. of force to lift a heavy
object with the large piston. Is this 'getting something for nothing'? Unfortunately,
no. Just as a lever provides more force near the fulcrum in exchange for more
distance further away, the hydraulic lift merely converts work (force x distance) at
the smaller piston for the SAME work at the larger one. In the example, when the
smaller piston moves a distance of 10 inches it displaces 10 cubic inch of fluid.
That 10 cubic inch displaced at the 10 square inch piston moves it only 1 inch, so a
small force and larger distance has been exchanged for a large force through a
smaller distance.
Hydraulic jacks have six main parts. These are the reservoir, pump,
check valve, main cylinder, piston, and release valve. The reservoir holds hydraulic
fluid. A pump will draw the fluid up and then create pressure on the down stroke as
it pushes the fluid through the check valve. This valve allows the fluid to leave the
reservoir and enter the main cylinder. In the main cylinder, the piston is forced up
as the cylinder is filled with the fluid. When it is time to release the pressure and
allow the piston to return to its starting position, the release valve is opened. This
allows the fluid to return to the reservoir.

1.9-Advantages:-
 Safety First:-
Hydraulic jacking System is one of the most safest mode to erect
storage tank, complete work is executed on ground level preventing risks of
accidents. For decades, there has been not a single report that proves its credibility
in being the safest and most likely method for the storage tank construction. The
hydraulic jack systems has now gained a lot of popularity.
 Easier Inspection:-

Page no:18
` www.mechengg.net
Our efficient hydraulic jacking systems needs various
scaffolding and attachments to offer comfortable access for welding heights.

 No Scaffolding Required:-
Welding inspectors can now perform ultrasonic as well as
several other non destructive tests on welds at ground level, it allows easier
inspection for better quality control.

 Faster Erection:-
The shell plates are erected at ground level in place of being
installed at the height of about 30 feet or more, in order to save construction time
required for the alignment of plates. The time and manpower needed for lifting the
plates to the height is amputated. Construction work remains unaffected by snow
or rain.

 Tank Erection Top Downwards Cuts Construction Time And

Cost Considerably :-
New shell plates are developed at the ground level in place of
being hauled up to about 30 feet heights or more, saving considerable time desired
for alignment of plates. The cumulative time needed for lifting of men and material
to the heights that is eliminated. Tank construction work stays practically
unaffected from rain or snow, hence most work is performed under the protection
of the tank itself.

1.10-Applications:-

 Dismantling of old tanks

 Repair to tank foundation
 Building of field erected storage tanks
 Repair or replacement of tank bottom plate
 Increasing tank capacity by adding shell rings or courses
 Erection of other circular structures such as reactor shields in nuclear power
stations, etc.

Chapter 2 Design of Hydraulic Jack

2.1 Hydraulic Basics:-

Hydraulics is the science of transmitting force and/or motion

through the medium of a confined liquid. In a hydraulic device, power is
transmitted by pushing on a confined liquid.Figure 1-1 shows a simple hydraulic
device. The transfer of energy takes place because quantity of liquid is subject to
pressure. To operate liquid-powered systems, the operator should have a
knowledge of the basic nature of liquids. This chapter covers the properties of
liquids and how they act under different conditions.

2.1.1:- Pressure and Force.:-

Pressure is force exerted against a specific area (force

per unit area) expressed in pounds per square inch (psi). Pressure can cause an
expansion, or resistance to compression, of a fluid that is being squeezed. A fluid is
any liquid or gas (vapor). Force is anything that tends to produce or modify (push
or pull) motion and is expressed in pounds a. Pressure. An example of pressure is
the air (gas) that fills an automobile tire. As a tire is inflated, more air is squeezed
into it than it can hold. The air inside a tire resists the squeezing by pushing
outward on the casing of the tire. The outward push of the air is pressure.
Equal pressure throughout a confined area is a characteristic of any pressurized
fluid.

Page no:22
` www.mechengg.net

Confined liquid is

subject to pressure

Figure 2.1 Basic hydraulic devices

For example, in an inflated tire, the outward push of the air is uniform throughout.
If it were not, a tire would be pushed into odd shapes because of its elasticity.
There is a major difference between a gas and a liquid. Liquids are slightly
compressible (Figure 2.1). When a confined liquid is pushed on, pressure builds
up. The pressure is still transmitted equally throughout the container. The fluid's
behavior makes it possible to transmit a push through pipes,
around corners, and up and down.

D2=F1*D1/F2

Where

F1 = force of the small piston, in pounds

D1 = distance the small piston moves, in
inches
D2 = distance the larger piston moves, in
inches
F2 = force of the larger piston, in pounds

Page no:23
` www.mechengg.net
2.2-Basic Systems:-

The advantages of hydraulic systems over other methods of power transmission are

• Simpler design. In most cases, a few pre-engineered components will replace

complicated mechanical linkages.
• Flexibility. Hydraulic components can be located with considerable flexibility.
Pipes and hoses in place of mechanical elements virtually eliminate location
problems.
• Smoothness. Hydraulic systems are smooth and quiet in operation. Vibration is
kept to a minimum.
• Control. Control of a wide range of speed and forces is easily possible.
• Cost. High efficiency with minimum friction loss keeps the cost of a power
transmission at a minimum.
• Overload protection. Automatic valves guard the system against a breakdown
from overloading.

The main disadvantage of a hydraulic system is maintaining the precision parts

when they are exposed to bad climates and dirty atmospheres. Protection against
rust, corrosion, dirt, oil deterioration, and other adverse environment is very
important. The following paragraphs discuss several basic hydraulic systems.

A- Hydraulic Jack:-

In this system a reservoir and a system of valves has been

added to Pascal's hydraulic lever to stroke a small cylinder or pump continuously
and raise a large piston or an actuator a notch with each stroke. Diagram A shows
an intake stroke. An outlet check valve closes by pressure under a load, and an
inlet check valve opens so that liquid from the reservoir fills the pumping chamber.
Diagram B shows the pump stroking downward. An inlet check valve closes by
pressure and an outlet valve opens. More liquid is pumped under a large piston to
raise it. To lower a load, a third valve (needle valve) opens, which opens an area
under a large piston to the reservoir. The load then pushes the piston down and
forces the liquid into the reservoir.

Page no:24
` www.mechengg.net

Figure 2-2. Hydraulic jack

B- Motor-Reversing System:-
Figure 2-2, shows a power-driven pump
operating a reversible rotary motor. A reversing valve directs fluid to either side of
the motor and back to the reservoir. A relief valve protects the system against
excess pressure and can bypass pump output to the reservoir, if pressure rises too
high.

C-Open-Center System:-
In this system, a control-valve spool must be open in
the center to allow pump flow to pass through the valve and return to the reservoir.

Page no:25
` www.mechengg.net
this system in the neutral position. To operate several functions simultaneously,
an open-center system must have the correct connections, which are discussed
below. An open-center system is efficient on single functions but is limited with
multiple functions.

The return from the first valve is routed to the inlet of the second, and
so on. In neutral, the oil passes through the valves in series and returns to the
reservoir, as the arrows indicate. When a control valve is operated, the incoming
oil is diverted to the cylinder that the valve serves. Return liquid from the cylinder
is directed through the return line and on to the next valve. This system is
satisfactory as long as only one valve is operating at a time. When this happens, the
full output of the pump at full system pressure is available to that function.
However, if more than one valve is operating, the total of the pressures required for
each function cannot exceed the system’s relief setting.

2.3-Parts Of Hydraulic Jack:-

 Gland (End Cap)

 Piston Road
 Cylinder
 Base Plate
 Hose Pipe

2.3.1-Parts Of Cylinder:-
2.3.1.1-Cylinder Barrel:-
The cylinder barrel is mostly a seamless thick walled
forged pipe that must be machined internally. The cylinder barrel is ground and/or
honed internally.

2.3.1.2-Cylinder Base Or Cap:-

In most hydraulic cylinders, the barrel and the
bottom portion are welded together. This can damage the inside of the barrel if
done poorly. Therefore, some cylinder designs have a screwed or flanged

Page no:26
` www.mechengg.net
connection from the cylinder end cap to the barrel. In this type the barrel can be
disassembled and repaired.

2.3.1.3-Cylinder Head:-
The cylinder head is sometimes connected to the barrel
with a sort of a simple lock. In general, however, the connection is screwed or
flanged. Flange connections are the best, but also the most expensive. A flange has
to be welded to the pipe before machining. The advantage is that the connection is
bolted and always simple to remove. For larger cylinder sizes, the disconnection of
a screw with a diameter of 300 to 600 mm is a huge problem as well as the
alignment during mounting.

2.3.2-Piston Rod:-

The piston rod is typically a hard chrome-plated piece of cold-

rolled steel which attaches to the piston and extends from the cylinder through the
rod-end head. In double rod-end cylinders, the actuator has a rod extending from
both sides of the piston and out both ends of the barrel. The piston rod connects the
hydraulic actuator to the machine component doing the work. This connection can
be in the form of a machine thread or a mounting attachment, such as a rod-clevis
or rod-eye. These mounting attachments can be threaded or welded to the piston
rod or, in some cases, they are a machined part of the rod-end.

2.3.2.1:-Piston Rod Construction:-

The piston rod of an hydraulic cylinder
operates both inside and outside the barrel, and consequently both in and out of the
hydraulic fluid and surrounding atmosphere.

2.3.2.1.1:-Metallic Coatings:-

Smooth and hard surfaces are desirable on the outer

diameter of the piston rod and slide rings for proper sealing. Corrosion resistance is
also advantageous. A chromium layer may often be applied on the outer surfaces
of these parts. However, chromium layers may be porous, thereby attracting
moisture and eventually causing oxidation. In harsh marine environments, the steel
is often treated with both a nickel layer and a chromium layer. Often 40 to 150
micrometer thick layers are applied. Sometimes solid stainless steel rods are used.
High quality stainless steel such as AISI 316 may be used for low stress

Page no:27
` www.mechengg.net
applications. Other stainless steels such as AISI 431 may also be used where there
are higher stresses, but lower corrosion concerns.

2.3.2.1.2:-Ceramic Coatings:-

Due to shortcomings of metallic materials,

ceramic coatings were developed. Initially ceramic protection schemes seemed
ideal, but porosity was higher than projected. Recently the corrosion resistant semi
ceramic Lunac2+ coatings were introduced. These hard coatings are non porous
and do not suffer from high brittleness.

2.3.2.1.3:-Length:-

Piston rods are generally available in lengths which are cut

to suit the application. As the common rods have a soft or mild steel core, their
ends can be welded or machined for a screw thread.

2.3.2.3:-Gland (End Cap):-

The cylinder head is fitted with seals to prevent the

pressurized oil from leaking past the interface between the rod and the head. This
area is called the rod gland. It often has another seal called a rod wiper which
prevents contaminants from entering the cylinder when the extended rod retracts
back into the cylinder. The rod gland also has a rod wear ring. This wear ring acts
as a liner bearing to support the weight of the piston rod and guides it as it passes
back and forth through the rod gland. In some cases, especially in small hydraulic
cylinders, the rod gland and the rod wear ring are made from a single integral
machined part.

LITERATURE REVIEW
If the word hydraulics is understood to mean the use of water for the
benefit of mankind, then its practice must be considered to be even older than
recorded history itself. Traces of irrigation canals from prehistoric times still exist
in Egypt and Mesopotamia; the Nile is known to have been dammed at Memphis
some six thousand years ago to provide the necessary water supply, and the
Euphrates River was diverted into the Tigris even earlier for the same purpose.
Ancient wells still in existence reach to surprisingly great depths; and underground
aqueducts were bored considerable distances, even through bedrock. In what is
now Pakistan, houses were provided with ceramic conduits for water supply and
drainage some five thousand years ago; and legend tells of vast flood-control
projects in China barely a millenium later. All of this clearly demonstrates that
men must have begun to deal with the flow of water countless millenia before
these times.

Though both the art and the science of hydraulics treat of such flows,
they obviously differ significantly in time and substance. Hydraulic practice
necessarily originated as an art, for the principles involved could be formulated
only after long experience with science in general and water in particular. However
necessary the conduct of the art thus was to the eventual development of the
science, it is almost exclusively with the science of hydraulics that the present
article will deal. As a matter of fact, the subiect matter of the traditional college
course in hydraulics -- particularly as it was taught in the not-too-recent past --
provides a framework on which the history of the science can conveniently be
based.

Such a course usually began with the topic of hydrostatics -- the

characteristics of liquids at rest. Instructors then proceeded to the principle of
continuity (the conservation of fluid mass) and a form of the work-energy principle
known as the Bernoulli theorem. In passing, note was taken of means of measuring
velocity, pressure, and discharge, including the use of small-scale models to
simulate flow conditions in themselves too large to test. These principles were then
applied to the study of flow from orifices, over weirs, through closed and open
conduits, and past immersed bodies. Simple as such matters now seem when
taught, they actually took centuries to understand. Particularly noteworthy is the
fact that many such principles were first clarified by men like Isaac Newton whose
interests extended far beyond hydraulics itself.

This scienceactually had its origins some two millenia ago in the
course of Greek civilization. It must be granted, however, that Greek physics was
of such a hypothetical nature that with one exception it had little positive influence
in the millenia to follow. The part that concerns us here is the then-prevailing
belief that the universe consists of four elements (fire, air, water, and earth), that
each is displaced by the next in order of increasing weight, and that the space
around us must be occupied by one element or another. "Nature," in other words,
"abhors a vacuum." In due time the concept of a fifth element, ether, came into
being, for want of something to fill outer space. To the Greeks, the abhorrence of a
vacuum served to explain free flight, a body in motion presumedly being driven by
the fluid closing in behind. Known as the medium theory of motion, this was one
of the teachings of Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), who wrote on a wide variety of
subjects ranging from physics to metaphysics. The so-called impetus theory of
motion was proposed nearly a thousand years after Aristotle's time; however,
because impetus could not be seen, the concept was not generally accepted, and the
medium theory remained in favor for at least another millenium.

The Greekwho made the most lasting contribution to hydraulics was

the Sicilian mathematician Archimedes (287-212 B.C.), who reasoned that a
floating or immersed body must be acted upon an upward force equal to the weight
of the liquid that it displaces. This is the basis of hydrostatics and also of the
apocryphal story that Archimedes made this discovery in his bath and forthwith ran
un clothed through the streets crying "Eureka!" Nevertheless, even though
Archimedes' writings, like those of his fellow Greeks, were faithfully transmitted
to the West by Arabian scientists, further progress in hydrostatics was not to be
made for another 18 centuries.

In the course of the millenium following the time of Archimedes, the

science of hydraulics retrogressed rather than advaneed. True, though the Romans
developed extensive water-supply and drainage systems, and windmills and water
wheels appeared on the scene in increasing numbers, these represented the art
rather than the science. Paradoxically, although Aristotle taught that knowledge
must progress, his teachings eventually came to be crystallized, so to speak, and in
the time of Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-74), they were even adopted as gospel
truth by the church. In the same period, on the other hand, researchers in the early
universities particularly Paris, Oxford, and Cambridge gradually began to establish
simple mechanical relationships such as that between velocity and acceleration.

Whereas the Greeks tended to reason without recourse to observation,

it was the Italian genius Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) who first emphasized the

Page no:36
` www.mechengg.net
direct study of nature in its many aspects. Leonardo's hydraulic observations
extended to the detailed characteristics of jets, waves, aud eddies, not to mention
the flight of birds and comparable facets of essentialIy every other field of
knowledge. In particular, it was Leonardo who first correctly formulated the basic
principle of hvdraulics known as continuity: the velocity of flow varies inversely
with the cross-sectional area of a stream. Unfortunately, not only were his copious
notes writteu in mirror image (probably for reasons of secrecy), but, in addition,
most of them were lost for several centuries after his death. Thus his discoveries
had little effect on the growth of the science.

The second essential coutribution to hydrostatics was made by the

Dutch hydraulic engineer Simon Stevin (1548-1620) in 1586, nearly two millenia
after the time of Archimedes. Stevin showed that the force exerted by a liquid on
the base of a vessel is equal to the weight of a liquid column extending from the
base to the free surface. That this force does not depend on the shape of the vessel
became known as the hydrostatic paradox.

If Leonardo was the first scientific observer of note, it was Galileo

(1564-1642) who added experimentation to observation, thereby throwing initial
light on the problem of gravitational acceleration. In his study of the phenomenon,
he noted that a body sliding freely down an inclined plane attained a certain speed
after a certain vertical descent regardless of the slope; it is said that he hence
advised an engineer that there was no point in eliminating river bends, as the
resulting increase in slope would have no effect! Whereas Leonardo was a loner,
Gallleo gathered a small school around him. One of his students, the Abbe
Benedetto Castelli (c.1577-c.1644), rediscovered the principle of continuity and
delved further into other aspects of the science, though not always correctly. His
younger colleague Evangelista Torricelli (1608-47) applied his mentor's analysis of
parabolic free-fall trajectories to the geometry of liquid jets. Torricelli also
experimented with the liquid barometer, the vacuum above the liquid column being
comparable to the void that Galileo found to develop in a pump whose suction pipe
exceeded a certain length; in other words, nature abhorred a vacuum only up to a
certain point!

The French scientist Edme Mariotte (1620-84) is often called the

father of French hydraulics because of the breadth of his experimentation; this
included such matters as wind and water pressure and the elasticity of the air, a
quality which we usually associate with the name of the Englishman Robert Boyle
(1627-91) whereas the latter appears to have coined the word hydraulics, in France
Boyle's law bears the name of Mariotte. Only a few years younger than Mariotte,

Page no:37
` www.mechengg.net
the Italian Domenico Guglielmini (1655-1710) is similarly considered by many to
have been the founder of the Italian school. But whereas Mariotte was a laboratory
experimenter, Guglielmini made extensive field measurements of river flow.
Interestingly enough, Guglielmini eventually became a professor of medicine!

At about the same time, the short-lived French savant Blaise Pascal
(1623-62) concerned himself with the same barometric problems as the equally
short-lived Torricelli (not to mention Mariotte), but it was Pascal who finally
completed the principles of hydrostatics. Not only did he clarify the
transmissibility of pressure from point to point and its application to the hydraulic
jack, but he also showed that the barometric (i.e., atmospheric) pressure must vary
with elevation and hence that the barometer would have a zero reading in a
vacuum.

Rene Descartes (1596-1650), the French scientist to whom we owe

the Cartesian coordinate system, sought valiantly to reconcile the Aristotelian
teachings that had been adopted by his church with the mechanics of the solar
system. He thus hypothesized that the planets were carried in their orbits by a
system of giant vortices endowed with a fixed "quantity of movement." His
somewhat younger English contemporary Isaac Newton (1642-1727), who
correctly used the principle of momentum to evaluate the orbits, held that if there
were vortex material in space, the motion of the planets would be retarded. Newton
even conducted a variety of experiments on the resistance (due to fluid tenacity,
elasticity, want of lubricity, and inertia) encountered by bodies in motion to prove
that nothing of the sort occurred in space. In the course of these studies, he
formulated the speed of sound in air (except for the adiabatic constant), the basis of
viscous shear, and the equation of what we now call form drag (except that he
mistakenly considered shape itself to be of no importance). He also invented what
he termed the theory of fluxions, now known as the calculus.

Newton's German contemporary Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz

(1646-1716) conceived the principle of energy, though without the fraction one-
half in the kinetic-energy term, and as a result his principle gave different results
from Newton's momentum principle when used to describe the same phenomenon.
Leibniz also developed a form of the calculus, and his colleagues and Newton's
soon began to accuse the other of plagiarism, a dispute which, though largely
unjustified, produced a considerable rift between the English and the German
scientists.

One of the earliest mathematicians to apply Leibniz's calculus (and
even to contribute some of the nomenclature still used today) was the Swiss Johann
Bernoulli (1667-1748), who was also noteworthy for the mathematical training of
his son Daniel (1700-82) and his son's comrade Leonhard Euler (1707-83). Johann
thereafter went to Paris to collaborate with the French nobleman the Marquis de
l'Hopital; Daniel became a member of the Russian academy at St. Petersburg,
where he was later joined bv Euler. L'Hopital eventually published his and
Johann's (largely the latter's) joint findings without due credit to his collaborator,
much to Johann's chagrin. When Daniel published in 1738 the original treatise
Hydrodynamica, Johann proceeded to write a book that he called Hydraulica,
which -- whether through envy or bitterness over l'Hopital's failure to acknowledge
his contribution -- he purposely predated a full ten years!

Daniel's work contained much that was new for example, the use of
manometers, the kinetic theory of gases, and iet propulsion but nowhere in the
book (or in his father's either) can one find what is known as the Bernoulli
theorem. Just as its source, Leibniz's energy principle, consisted of only potential
and kinetic terms, so too did the Bernoulli equation; the corresponding pressure
term was evaluated separately by means of Newton's momentum equation.

In actuality, the first true Bernoulli equation was derived by Euler, an

outstanding mathematician, from his equations of acceleration for the conditions of
steady, irrotational flow under gravitational action. Euler also deserved credit for a
number of equations of hydraulics and for inventing at least on paper a workable
hydraulic turbine. Worthy of mention in the same breath as Euler and the
Bernoullis was Jean Lerond d'Alembert (1717-83), best known for his coeditorship
of the French encyclopedia but also a mathematician in his own right. He proved in
1752 that under steady, irrotational conditions a fluid should offer no resistance to
the relative motion of an immersed body: the d'Alembert paradox. D'Alembert is
also known for having been one of three French scientists to have made in 1775
what were said to have been the first towing-tank tests of ship-model drag.they
were, however, preceded by some nine years by those of our own Benjamin
Franklin (1706 90), himself a potential hydraulician!

Even Franklin was not the first to conduct scale-model tests, credit for
which is due John Smeaton (1724-92), an English engineer who was one of the
very few practical people in his country to become a member of the Royal Society
in the course of the next century or so. In his prize-winning paper of 1759, "An
experimental Inquiry concerning the Natural Powers of Water and Wind to turn
Mills, and other Machines, depending on a Circular Motion", Smeaton described

Page no:39
` www.mechengg.net
experiments on models of undershot wheels, overshot wheels, and windmills,
evaluating there from the general power relationships.

Two essential measuring instruments came into being at this time, the
Pitot tube and the rotating arm. The first still bears the name of its inventor, the
Frenchman Henri de Pitot (1695-1771), who called it a "machine" for determining
the speed of flowing water. It consisted of two vertical glass tubes connected at
their top by a valve, one tube simply being open at the bottom and the other L-
shaped with its open end pointing upstream; the difference in water level between
the two tubes after closure of the valve and their withdrawal from the flow
permitted the velocity to be computed. Use of a rotating arm to propel a body
through air for its drag determination was developed bv the Englishman Benjamin
Robins (1707-5 ), who also invented the ballistic pendulum.

The matter of fluid resistance is probably the most important one in

the field of hydraulics. Until the latter part of the eighteenth century, little was
known about the phenomenon, whether in connection with flow through conduits
or around immersed bodies. The d'Alembert paradox, obviously, was of little
engineering use. On the other hand, d'Alembert's contemporary Antoine Chezy
(1718-98) discovered a simple resistance relationship for streams which is now
known by his name. Unfortunately, his report to the Corps des Ponts et Chaussees
on the supply of water to Paris was lost in the files, not to be discovered and
publicized till late in the last century bv the American Clemens Herschel (1842-
1930). On the other hand, Chezy's fellow countryman Pierre Louis George Du
Buat (1734-1809) not only conducted a wide variety of experiments but also wrote
an excellent textbook on hvdraulics which in spite of his being forced to flee
during the revolution went through three successively enlarged editions. Du Buat
formulated perceptively the resistance of closed conduits and was the first to show
that the drag of immersed bodies resulted more from the suction produced at the
rear than from the pressure exerted at the front.

Granted thatthe Italians, Germans, and to some degree the English

made notable contributions in the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, the leadership was definitely French, mainly through the influence of the
Corps des Ponts et Chaussees, which had been functioning effectively since its
founding in 1719. For example, in 1822 Louis Marie Henri Navier (1785-1836), a
bridge engineer, was the first to attempt the extension of the Euler equations of
acceleration to include the flow of a viscous fluid. Though he did not comprehend
the essential mechanism of viscous action, his results were mathematically correct.
The same equations were developed with groater comprehension somewhat later

Page no:40
` www.mechengg.net
by the mathematician Baron Augustin Louis de Cauchy (1789-1857), next by the
mechanician Simeon Denis Poisson (1781-1840), and finally in 1845 by the
Cambridge professor George Gabriel Stokes (1819 1903 ), the latter eventually
applying the equations to the resistance of small spheres. It is significant, however,
that in the meantime (1843) a more general form of the equations was developed
by Jean-Claude Barre de Saint-Venant (1797-1886) and later found to be
applicable not only to the laminar phase of viscous flow bnt also to that known as
fluid turbulence

In the first half of the nineteenth century, the German Gotthilf Ludwig
Hagen (1797-1884) condncted in 1839 some very meticu lous measurements of the
flow of water in small-diameter tubes, utilizing the water temperature instead of
the viscosity as one of the parameters. A few years later the French physician Jean
Louis Poiseuille (1799-1869) repeated the experiments independently using even
liner tubes to simulate blood vessels, and oil and mercury in addition to water.
Except in Germany, the phenomenon is known as Poiseuille flow, even though
neither Poiseuille nor Hagen really understood the mathematics of the
phenomenon. Hagen, however, had remarked in an 1854 paper that the flow was
not always laminar, the efflux jet sometimes being clear and sometimes frosty;
similarly, sawdust suspended in the water sometimes moved in straight lines and
sometimes very irregularly; in the latter instances he noted that his resistance
equation no longer applied.

Though countless contributors to hydraulic science of this period are

to be found in the ever-growing literature, only a few can be mentioned at this
point. These include the Italian Giovanni Battista Venturi (1746-1822) and the
Germans Johann Albert Eytelwein (1764-1848) and Julius Weisbach (1806-71).In
addition to Bernoulli, the men whose names are now best known in hydraulics
were two Englishmen who lived in the latter part of the last century. One was the
Manchester professor Osborne Reynolds (1842-1912), who in 1873 also
experimented with flow through tubes, introducing the viscosity to form a
parameter marking the borderline between laminar and turbulent flow. now known
as the Reynolds number. Reynolds also showed bv the injection of dye the
difference be tween the two states of motion, for which he is given the credit really
due Hagen for his work 20 years earlier.

William Froude (1810-79) was a somewhat older contemporary of Reynolds

whose interests lay in the field of naval architecture. Froude built himself a towing
tank on his own property and in part with his own funds, for the operation of which
he had formulated a similarity law for flows under the influence of gravity. This

Page no:41
` www.mechengg.net
law has come to be known under Froude's name, although it had actually been
announced at least 20 years earlier by Ferdinand Reech (1805 80), an Alsatian
teaching in a naval college at Paris. But Froude was the first to note the
development along the hull of ships of what came to be known as the boundary
layer, a phenomenon of viscous shear which eventually was shown to be a function
of the Reynolds number. It is hence only fair to note that Reynolds was the first to
utilize the Froude law of similarity in model tests of tidal action in the Mersey
estuary.

At the time that hydraulics was becoming an applied science,

mathematicians were developing its theoretical counterpart known as
hydrodynamics. Ably begun by Euler and d'Alembert, the practice was continued
by such equally famous men as Lagrange (1736-1813), Laplace (1749-1827),
Helmholtz (1821-94), Kelvin (1824-1907), and Rayleigh (1842-1919), as recorded
in the many editions of the treatise Hydrodymimic by the Manchester professor
Horace Lamb (1849-1934). However, although presumably dealing with the same
fluids, the two subjects were far apart, for hydraulics still lacked mathematical
rigor, and hydrodynamics, sufficient contact with reality. Thus, when human flight
became a likelihood, neither hydraulics nor hydrodynamics could provide a useful
scientific basis for the understanding of aerodynamic lift if not of drag.

Fortunately, a new science, the mechanics of fluids, came into being

at the hands of Ludwig Prandtl (1875-1953), a German mechanical engineer
teaching at the University of Gottingen. He reasoned as early as 1904 that relative
motion between a fluid and a streamlined boundary could be analyzed in two parts:
a thin layer at the boundary providing the viscous resistance to motion, and the
fluid outside the boundary layer providing, in accordance with the principles of
irrotational flow, the normal forces producing lift. Prandtl, and the many students
who passed through his hands, proceeded to formulate the essential principles of
airfoil and propeller operation. At the same time, the general principles of fluid
mechanics became the basis of related fields, including hydraulics. In fact, Paul
Richard Heinrich Blasius (1873-1970), one of Prandtl's earliest students, not only
provided a mathematical basis for boundary-layer drag but also showed as early as
1911 that the resistance to flow through smooth pipes could be expressed in terms
of the Reynolds number for both laminar and turbulent flow, and an other Johann
Nikuradse (1894-1979) experimented extensively on the resistance of rough pipes
as well as smooth.

Except for BenFranklin's miniature towing-tank experiments, all of

the advances described in the foregoing pages were made by Europeans. As

Page no:42
` www.mechengg.net
recounted elsewhere , American hydraulicians gradually became aware of English,
French, and eventually German discoveries, utilizing their coefficients and later
repeating and extending their experiments. But it was really not until early in the
present century that America began to contribute much that was new. To be sure,
Professor Felix Klein of Gottingen is said to have been so deeply impressed by the
shops and laboratories of our land-grant institutions that he began to employ men
as practical as Prandtl. Much of America's accomplishment, however, came about
through the Yankee engineer John R. Freeman (1855-1932), who not only
stimulated the foundation of two federal hydraulics laboratories but also
established traveling scholarships with three of the leading engineering societies.
Most of the Freeman scholars followed the practice of the German civil engineers,
who adhered to small-scale model studies based primarily on the Froude criterion
of similitude, but three or four gave heed to the teachings of the Prandtl school and
stressed the principles of fluid mechanics. America's prime contribution was in fact
the broadening of hydraulics science to include both a reasonable degree of
analytical rigor and experimental verification of the physical analysis. The advent
of wartime exigencies led to an intensification of laboratory activity in at least two
institutions, the California Institute of Technology and The University of Iowa,
where those who had studied in Europe under Freeman's auspices were in positions
of responsibility. Their experiments ranged from torpedo cavitation to ship drag,
from the diffusion of smoke and gas by wind to fog dispersal over airplane landing
fields, from the throw of fire streams to atmospheric turbulence.

Freeman's indirectrole in advancing the science in America was

directly abetted by the influence of two naturalized immigrants, Boris
Alexandrovitch Bakhmeteff (1880-1951) and Theodor von Kfirmfin (1881-1963).
A Russian professor and consulting engineer, Bakhmeteff was sent to the United
States as ambassador by Kerensky, after whose fall he formed, with a number of
other White Russians, a profitable match factory and taught hydraulics part-time at
Columbia University; he also published as an Engineering Societies Monograph
an extended translation of his St. Petersburg dissertation on open-channel flow. A
native Hungarian, von Karmfin was one of Prandtl's earliest doctoral students and
later a very productive professor at Aachen, Germany; with the rise of Hitler, he
migrated to Cal Teeh at Pasadena, and then to Washington as air force consultant
during the war; he was the first to receive from President Kennedy the new
National Medal of Science, and his autobiography The Wind and Beyond (not to
mention the five volumes of his col lected writings) makes for absorbing reading.

I had the distinct privilege of knowing all three of these very effective
engineering scientists. Not long after the war, moreover, I encouraged one of our

Page no:43
` www.mechengg.net
own graduate students at Iowa, Simon Ince, to undertake as his doctoral
dissertation a review of the developments described in the foregoing pages. This he
did; his 1959, dissertation was entitled "'A History of Hydraulics to the End of the
Eighteenth Century." Later that year I received an appointment as Fulbright
research scholar at Grenoble, France, where Pierre Danel, director of the
hydraulics laboratory at the Etablissements Neyrpic, had developed a magnificent
library that included many of the historical works mentioned herein. With such
material at hand, I rewrote and greatly expanded Ince's dissertation, bringing it up
to the middle of the present century. This was published as a bilingual supplement
to La Houille Blanche, a journal of which Danel was editor, under the title History
of Hydraulics and thereafter in book form by the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic
Besearch.

So strong an impression had Danel's collection of source material

made upon me that I soon began to purchase similar works for the institute, with
the collaboration of the late Frank Hanlin, bibliographer of The University of Iowa
Libraries, using funds acquired through the sale of the History and other books
written by the institute staff. These were placed in the University Libraries' Special
Collections, and at present a catalog of the collection is being prepared for
publication. Essentially all of the books cited in these pages are included therein. In
fact, some 350 individual items are now at hand the finest collection that I know to
exist on the history of hydraulics.
