Faculty Review Copy

This book introduces and addresses a broad range of topics in Fluid Mechanics & Power, related applications, and practical problems from everyday life that would arouse your interest in the field of Fluid Mechanics. This book presents Fluid Mechanics concepts in concise and an easy-to-understand manner. The book presents related solved problems with logical steps to make it easier for the students to grasp the understanding of problem solving. 

 

The book explores interesting and motivating concept applications, such as, application of conservation of mass and momentum to an interesting problem of midair refueling of a F-35 fighter jet, the aerodynamics of airplanes and measurement of air velocity using a pitot tube installed on aircrafts and Formula One race cars. The book also explains concepts related to Fluid Power with complex applications of hydraulics to elevators, dump trucks, heavy duty cranes and simpler applications to pipes, elbows and valves. Due to its easy-to-understand structure, the book can be used both for an introductory course to fluid mechanics & power and as preparation for more advanced problems typical of graduate-level courses.

 

Instead of being theory intensive, this textbook uses pedagogical methodologies to provide the necessary concepts in an easy to learn manner with solved problems including a breakdown structure for student learning and success.
