Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides an introduction to the mechanics of unsteady fluid flow and energy transfer. It explains the fundamentals of thermofluid mechanics and presents methods useful in creative analysis and experimentation. Also included is coverage of bulk flow and propagative behavior of hydrostatic waves, disturbance and wave propagation, unsteady multidimensional flows and uniform systems and system normalization. The author gives many graphs and tables for quick estimates of thermofluid system behavior and response.
