ENGINEERING FLUID MECHANICS J.A. Roberson & C.T. Crowe This comprehensive text is armed with detailed measurements and models covering the sophisticated designs and applications of fluid systems, as well as basic concepts of flow patterns, pressure variation and stress. The first half of the book deals with basic principles and the second half deals with applications of these principles to engineering problems. This book will be immensely helpful to the students of this field in developing confidence to proceed with more complex topics while on the job.
CONTENTS
KEY FEATURES • Generous use of photograph and line drawings in descriptions of fluid flow phenomena as well as in problems • Thorough and step-wise derivations of equations involving basic control volume equation, continuity equation, energy equation and momentum equation • A wide range of problems focused on conceptual ideas to help understand the underlying principles • Some problems on topics such as: couette flow, flow through a nozzle, boundary layer velocity distribution, have also been incorporated • Topics on: the significance of fluid mechanics; different types of fluids (non Newtonian); vortices and turbulence; boundary layer phenomena; procedure for solving problems using momentum equation, are described in detail
