Key Features "Explores the fundamental concepts, physical concepts and first principles of fluid mechanics Integrates 30% new problems that make the material more relevant Offers an expanded discussion of pipe networks and a new section on oblique shocks and expansion waves Presents new, simplified examples with more detailed explanations to make concepts easier to understand" About the Book: Fluid Mechanics: Si Version: 8th Edition "The authors show how to develop an orderly plan to solve problems: starting from basic equations then clearly stating assumptions and finally relating results to expected physical behavior." "One of the bestselling books in the field, Introduction to Fluid Mechanics continues to provide readers with a balanced and comprehensive approach to mastering critical concepts. The new eighth edition once again incorporates a proven problem-solving methodology that will help them develop an orderly plan to finding the right solution. It starts with basic equations, then clearly states assumptions and finally, relates results to expected physical behavior. Many of the steps involved in analysis are simplified by using Excel." Content "Fundamental Concepts Fluid Statics Basic Equations in Integral form for a Control Volume Introduction to Differential Analysis of Fluid Motion Incompressible Inviscid Flow Dimensional Analysis and Similitude Internal incompressible viscous flow External incompressible viscous flow Fluid Machinery Flow in Open Channels Introduction to Compressible Flow Compressible Flow" about the authors: Fox, McDonald, Pritchard Robert W.
