Product Description

This text offers a clear insight into the field of fluid mechanics, taking an approach toward analyzing fluid flows that develops each subject from the theory of its basic laws to the illustration of actual engineering applications. The Fourth Edition features the most up-to-date applications of essential concepts as well as new coverage of the latest topics in the field today.* NEW - Reaches beyond basic concepts to offer optional explorations of more specialized aspects of fluid mechanics. * Features a totally new section on water hammer and the method of characteristics. * Includes a new section on acoustics with specific applications to noise control. * NEW - Expands discussion of flow and the measurement of flow in conduits. * NEW - Elaborates on the topic of fluid statics and stability of floating bodies. * NEW - Guides readers through 20 new worked-out examples that illustrate and apply topics under discussion. * NEW - Includes over 50 new problems designed to reinforce students understanding of essential concepts. * NEW - Replaces older references with current, more accessible sources. * NEW - Updates all measurements to the most current industry standards. * NEW - Streamlines several sections to enhance overall clarity. * Spans a wide range of topics in fluid mechanics, exploring them to varying degrees of intellectual challenge. * Designs problems to fully illustrate practical applications of the principles of fluid mechanics, rather than just "make work" for students. * Offers a clear, concise presentation that is easily accessible to readers of various backgrounds. * Provides solutions to almost all end-of-section problems.
