Synopsis

Connecting the math and theory of fluid mechanics to practical applications can be a difficult process. Engineering Fluid Mechanics builds on the success of previous editions to help engineers learn how to apply concepts by keeping them engaged and active throughout the book. Simple and effective examples show how key equations are utilized in practice, and step–by–step descriptions provide details into the processes that engineers follow. Each chapter also outlines the three most important things they will be able to accomplish once the concepts are learned. With its physical/visual approach, engineers will quickly gain an intuitive understanding of the principles.

About this title

Synopsis:

Introducing the ninth edition of "Engineering Fluid Mechanics" by Crowe, Elger, and Roberson, the newest edition of a book long admired within the academic and engineering communities for its reader-friendly text, dynamic visuals, and impeccable accuracy. Lucid physical descriptions, numerous photographs, clear illustrations, animations, 'Fluid Mechanics' by JustAsk[registered], and more than 1,100 problems guide the student through the theory of fluid mechanics and its applications, with examples ranging from water conduits to airplane wings. Now, the authors have made this ninth edition even more accessible than its predecessors with the addition of an interactive, web-based student tutorial keyed to the text. For any instructor in mechanical, civil, or aeronautical engineering seeking to foster a strong conceptual understanding of fluid flow phenomena, "Engineering Fluid Mechanics, Ninth Edition" is the clear choice.
