Description
Fluid mechanics is often seen as the most difficult core subject encountered by engineering students. The problem stems from the necessity
to visualise complex flow patterns and fluid behaviour modelled by high level mathematics. This text overcomes this difficulty by introducing
the concepts through everyday examples, before moving on to the more involved mathematics. The various theories of flow have been correlated
with real phenomena and, combined with numerous figures and photographs, help the reader place the subject in context. Examples from
a broad range of engineering disciplines are included making this textbook suitable for all engineers studying fluid systems as part
of their degree.
'Introduction to Fluid Mechanics' is translated from the best-selling Japanese book by Professor Yasuki Nakayama,
and adapted for the international market by Professor Robert Boucher.
Audience
Mechanical, civil, environmental, chemical, aeronautical and automotive undergraduate, HND and HNC engineers.
