Includes appendices, bibliographical references and index.
Contents: Chapter 1 Properties of fluids -- Chapter 2 Fluid statics -- Chapter 3 Kinematics and streamline dynamics -- Chapter 4 Finite control volume analysis -- Chapter 5 Differential analysis -- Chapter 6 Dimensional analysis and similitude -- Chapter 7 Flow in closed conduits -- Chapter 8 Turbomachines -- Chapter 9 Flow in open channels -- Chapter 10 Drag and lift -- Chapter 11 Boundary-layer flow -- Chapter 12 Compressible flow.
"For courses in fluid mechanics. Introduces engineering students to the principles of fluid mechanics. Written and conceived by an author with decades of relevant experience in the fields of fluid mechanics, engineering, and related disciplines, this First Edition of Fluid Mechanics for Engineers effectively introduces engineering students to the principles of fluid mechanics.
With the understanding that fluid mechanics is a required core course for most engineering students, the author focuses first and foremost on the most essential topics of the field. Practical applications for several engineering disciplines are considered, with a special focus on civil engineering. Elective topics are also included for instructors’ consideration with regard to specific courses. Written in a stimulating style, Fluid Mechanics for Engineers fulfills the requirements of a core course while keeping students engaged." --Provided by the publisher
