| Book Description | Gain an understanding of fluid mechanics and the ability to analyze this important phenomena encountered by practicing engineers with MECHANICS OF FLUIDS, 5E. The authors use proven learning tools to help you visualize many difficult-to-understand aspects of fluid mechanics. The mathematics used in derivations are readily accessible to you as an undergraduate engineering student. This edition's accompanying Multimedia Fluid Mechanics DVD-ROM helps you gain insights and develop intuition about fluid flow as you view mathematical relationships through movies and conduct actual simulations. The book's companion website includes mini-exams and solutions as well as video tutorials to assist you in further mastering fluid mechanics as an emerging professional. |
| Editorial Review | "The text is written at a level that provides more than adequate materials for the very good students and "required" basics for the average student. Progression in presenting the topics and sections of chapters is smooth. The text is balanced in exposing theoretical materials followed by examples/illustrations. Texts in fluids mechanics have evolved over many years to do this and this text does a great job of this. Examples and their frequency/breadth of coverage is appropriate. The problem-solving methodology in the examples is done extremely well. Illustrations are very well done." |
