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 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:-
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.

10 | P a g e
`

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 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.

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 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

13 | P a g e
`

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.
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:-

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:-
Our efficient hydraulic jacking systems needs various
scaffolding and attachments to offer comfortable access for welding heights.

15 | P a g e
`

 No Scaffolding Required:-
Welding inspectors can now perform ultrasonic as well
as several other nondestructive 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.

Confined liquid is

subject to pressure

Figure 2.1 Basic hydraulic devices

18 | P a g e
`

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

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.

19 | P a g e
`

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.

Figure 2-2. Hydraulic jack

20 | P a g e
`

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.
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 timeHowever,
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.

21 | P a g e
`

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
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
22 | P a g e
`

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 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

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-

29 | P a g e
`

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 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

30 | P a g e
`

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, 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

31 | P a g e
`

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

32 | P a g e
`

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 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

33 | P a g e
`

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 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

34 | P a g e
`

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 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

35 | P a g e
`

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
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

36 | P a g e
`

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 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.
