The Holyoke Hydrodynamic Experiments, 1879-1880 is a book published in 1880 by the Holyoke Water Power Company. The book documents a series of experiments conducted by the company to study the hydrodynamics of water flow in the Connecticut River, which powers the company's hydroelectric power plant in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The experiments were carried out over a period of one year and aimed to determine the optimal flow rate and water pressure for maximum efficiency in generating electricity. The book includes detailed descriptions of the experimental apparatus used, the methods employed, and the results obtained. It also contains numerous illustrations, diagrams, and tables to aid in understanding the data. The Holyoke Hydrodynamic Experiments, 1879-1880 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of hydroelectric power generation and the early development of experimental methods in fluid mechanics.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
