A Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Student Solutions Manual

Now readers can quickly learn the basic concepts and principles of modern fluid mechanics with this concise book. It clearly presents basic analysis techniques while also addressing practical concerns and applications, such as pipe flow, open-channel flow, flow measurement, and drag and lift. The fourth edition also integrates detailed diagrams, examples and problems throughout the pages in order to emphasize the practical application of the principles.

This compact, contemporary, student-friendly book consists of examples and text involving everyday situations to reinforce the concept that fluid mechanics is an important part of our world as well as enabling students to master problem solving skills. Comprised of 10 chapters, the book contains more than enough material for a comprehensive one-semester course. Nearly one hundred examples are presented that provide detailed solutions to a variety of problems. Also, a generous set of homework problems in each chapter stresses the practical application of principles. In addition, several open-ended problems that do not provide all the information required to solve the problem are included in most chapters. Another feature is the inclusion of extended, laboratory-type problems in most chapters.
