About this title

About the Author

John M. Cimbala   is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at The Pennsylï¿vania State University (Penn State), University Park, PA. He received his B.S. in Aerospace Engi-neering from Penn State and his M.S. in Aeronautics from the California Institute of Technology (CalTech). He received his Ph.D. in Aeronautics from CalTech in 1984. His research areas include experimental and computational fluid mechanï¿ics and heat transfer, turbulence, turbulence modeling, turbomachinery, indoor air quality, and air pollution control. Professor Cimbala completed sabbatical leaves at NASA Langley Research Center (199394), where he advanced his knowledge of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and at Weir American Hydro (201011), where he performed CFD analyses to assist in the design of hydroturbines.  Dr. Cimbala is the author or coauthor of dozens of journal and conference papers and is the coauthor of four other textbooks:   Indoor Air Quality Engiï¿neering: Environmental Health and Control of Indoor Pollutants   (2003), pubï¿lished by Marcel-Dekker, Inc.;   Essentials of Fluid Mechanics   (2008);   Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences (5th ed., 2017), and   Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications   (4th ed., 2018), all published by McGraw-Hill Education. He has also contributed to parts of other books, and is the author or coauthor of dozens of journal and conference papers. He has also recently ventured into writing novels. More information can be found at www.mne.psu.edu/cimbala.  Professor Cimbala is the recipient of several outstanding teaching awards and views his book writing as an extension of his love of teaching. He is a member and Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).  He is also a member of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and the American Physical Society (APS).

Synopsis

This title inlcludes lower level, but with the same "traditonal" every day examples that students identify with and that makes Cimbala/Cengel's approach unique. "Essentials of Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications" is an abridged version of a more comprehensive text by the same authors, "Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications" (McGraw-Hill 2006). The text covers the basic principles and equations of fluid mechanics in the context of numerous and diverse real-world engineering applications.
