Book Description | Fluid Mechanics Through Problems is a book for both graduate as well as undergraduate students and is meant to introduce students to the subject of fluid mechanics. The book is well - illustrated with accompanying diagrams to help the students in understanding the subject better.The book contains 17 chapters that encompass Fluid Properties, Dynamics, Dimensional Analysis, Kinematics, Laminar Flow, Turbulent Flow, Forces on Immersed Bodies, Boundary Layer Theory, Open Channel Flow, Pumps and Turbines and Compressible and Unsteady Flows.More specifically, it delves into the properties of fluids with their kinematics of flow along with topics such as fluid statics, Bernoulli's theorem, equation of motion and momentum equation. It also contains other chapters such as Laminar Flow, Problems in Pipe Flow, Dimensional Analysis and Similitude, Forces on Immersed Bodies, Compressible Flow, Open Channel Flow and Turbulent Flow.It also explains properties of water and air at different temperatures and atmospheric pressures, properties of common gases at 273.16 K, properties of areas and properties of standard atmosphere.Fluid Mechanics Through Problems is a one - stop textbook for students pursuing their degree or diploma courses in the core disciplines of civil, mechanical and chemical engineering. This 3rd edition was published by New Age International Private Limited Publishers in 2011 and is available as a paperback. |
