Description
Helps students develop an orderly approach to problem solving by starting from basic equations, stating assumptions clearly and relating results to expected physical behavior. Many detailed example problems demonstrate good solution techniques and explain troublesome points of theory. Updated and expanded with increased coverage of relevant topics, more example and homework problems and new sections on supersonic channel flow and fluid machinery.

Text for an introductory one- or two-semester course at the junior or senior level emphasizes the physical concepts of fluid mechanics and analysis methods, beginning from basic principles. Major additions to this edition (third, 1985) include a new chapter on fluid machinery, a new section on supersonic channel flow, and a large number of new homework problems. Introductory courses in rigid-body dynamics and math through integral calculus are necessary prerequisites. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
