Introduction to Fluid Mechanics is a mathematically efficient introductory text for abasal course in mechanical engineering. More rigorous than existing texts in the field, it is alsodistinguished by the choice and order of subject matter, its careful derivation and explanation ofthe laws of fluid mechanics, and its attention to everyday examples of fluid flow and commonengineering applications.Beginning with the simple and proceeding to the complex, the textintroduces the principles of fluid mechanics in orderly steps. At each stage practical engineeringproblems are solved, principally in engineering systems such as dams, pumps, turbines, pipe flows,propellers, and jets, but with occasional illustrations from physiological and meteorological flows.The approach builds on the student's experience with everyday fluid mechanics, showing how thescientific principles permit a quantitative understanding of what is happening and provide a basisfor designing engineering systems that achieve the desired objectives.Introduction to FluidMechanics differs from most engineering texts in several respects: The derivations of the fluidprinciples (especially the conservation of energy) are complete and correct, but concisely giventhrough use of the theorems of vector calculus. This saves considerable time and enables the studentto visualize the significance of these principles. More attention than usual is given to unsteadyflows and their importance in pipe flow and external flows. Finally, the examples and exercisesillustrate real engineering situations, including physically realistic values of the problemvariables. Many of these problems require calculation of numerical values, giving the studentexperience in judging the correctness of his or her numerical skills.
