Synopsis

This book examines the general nature of fluid dynamics. It introduces basic principles—pressure variation, momentum principle, energy equations—in early chapters and then uses these principles in general applications, such as drag and lift, flow meters, and flow in conduits.

About this title

Synopsis:

Presenting the general nature of fluid mechanics without being tied to any given discipline, this text is applicable to a variety of engineering courses. The organization of material is such that the basic principles such as pressure variation, momentum principle, energy equation are introduced in the early chapters; these principles are then utilized later in chapters involving general applications. It balances theory with real-world applications and includes homework problems.

From the Back Cover:

Known for its exceptionally readable approach, Crowe, Elger, and Roberson s Engineering Fluid Mechanics carefully guides readers from fundamental fluid mechanics concepts to real–world engineering applications. The Eighth Edition of this student–friendly text fosters a strong conceptual understanding of fluid flow phenomena through lucid physical descriptions, photographs, clear illustrations, and fully worked example problems.
