Publisher's Synopsis
Stay Focused on the Fundamentals Concise and focused these are the two guiding principles of Young, Munson, and Okiishi's Second Edition of A Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics. With this compact, student–friendly text, readers can master fundamental concepts, without getting lost in peripheral material. The authors clearly present basic analysis techniques and address practical concerns and applications, such as pipe flow, open–channel flow, flow measurement, and drag and lift. Homework problems in every chapter including open–ended problems, problems based on the CD–ROM videos, laboratory problems, and computer problems emphasize the practical application of principles. And more than 100 worked examples provide detailed solutions to a variety of problems. The Second Edition offers several new features and enhancements, including:
- A new CD–ROM, presenting video segments of fluid flow phenomena
- Many new homework problems
- A new chapter on turbo machines
