A new edition of the text introducing the fundamental areas of fluid mechanics. The volume uses worked examples and practice problems to prepare students for actual engineering situations, comprehensively covering the areas of fluid statics, fluids in motion, the integral and differential forms of the fundamental laws, dimensional analysis and similitude, internal and external flows, flow in channels and in piping systems, turbomachinery, and measurements in fluid mechanics. The appendices supply conversions, tables of properties, and listings of related computer programs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Key Benefit: This book presents an authoritative, mainstream introduction to the physical concepts and mathematics of fluid mechanics. Key Topics: The book reinforces concepts with equations and solutions for relatively simple geometrics through an abundance of examples, worked problems, and derivations with easy-to-follow steps. Although the book emphasizes SI units, approximately one-quarter of the worked examples and problems are duplicated with English units, and all properties and dimensional constants are provided in both SI and English units. It also includes computer-based Basic and spread sheet solutions in the chapters relating to open channel and pipe network flows. Includes a thorough introduction to environmental fluid mechanics in Chapter 14, where the emphasis is on mass transport in surface water systems that contain turbulent flows. In addition, a section on fluid transients has been added to Chapter 11. Market: A valuable resource book for any practicing engineer seeking further understanding of fluid mechanics as it relates to civil, environmental, mechanical, or general engineering.
