Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive introduction to the field of fluid mechanics does not restrict its emphasis to a particular discipline. The first part of the book introduces basic principles such as pressure variation, the momentum principle, and energy equations. The second part uses these principles in general applications. This edition presents expanded coverage of civil engineering topics. It continues to follow the control-volume approach established in earlier editions. It also includes almost all steps in the derivations, along with complete word descriptions, and rigorous and clear derivation of equations.;Applications are taken from a variety of areas, civil, mechanical and aerospace. Ancillary package available upon adoption.
