Inhaltsangabe:

The second edition of this extensively revised and updated text provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals and principles governing the science of fluid mechanics. Assuming only basic knowledge of calculus and physics, the students are exposed to the various physical phenomena of fluid mechanics in a clear and effective manner. The text helps students grasp the material by demonstrating the application of theory to fundamental engineering problems.The second edition includes key features such as: completely revised Chapter 2 to include expanded coverage of potential flow theory, Vortex motion, and pipe flow; a new chapter (Chapter 4) on boundary layer theory; an increase in the number of solved examples, and an abundance of chapter-ending problems with answers; and, a companion Solutions Manual for instructors.The book is suitable for a first-level course in fluid mechanics for undergraduate students of mechanical, aerospace, civil, and chemical engineering streams.
