Description:

Review
Suitable for both advanced and undergraduate students of engineering, this classic textbook explains the basic principles of the mechanics of fluids. The emphasis is on a sound physical understanding of fluid flow and its engineering applications, rather than on mathematical techniques. SI units are used throughout, and there are many worked examples. New topics for the eighth edition include the physics of tsunamis; procedures for the selection of pumps and fans; and flow losses through nozzles, orifice meters, screens, and gauzes.

Product Description
The eighth edition of this best-selling textbook, like its predecessors, presents the basic principles of the mechanics of fluids in a thorough and clear manner. The book contains material on this subject appropriate to an honors degree course in mechanical engineering.

Particular emphasis is given to providing a sound physical understanding of fluid flow and its engineering applications. Relevant mathematical techniques are also covered. Students are introduced systematically to the subject, the text moving from the simple to the complex, from the familiar to the unfamiliar. SI units are used throughout and there are many worked examples. The breadth of coverage of this edition is similar to that of the previous edition, but the content has been fully revised and updated, and several new topics are introduced for the first time. For professors, a solutions manual is available to accompany this text.
