Synopsis

The sixth edition of this established, popular textbook provides an excellent and comprehensive treatment of fluid mechanics that is concisely written and supported by numerous worked examples.

 

This revision of a classic text presents relevant material for mechanical and civil engineers, as well as energy and environmental services engineers. It recognises the evolution of the subject and provides thorough coverage of both established theory and emerging topics.

 

Fluid Mechanicsis ideal for use throughout a first degree course in all engineering disciplines where a good understanding of the subject is required. 

 

New sections on rotodynamic machine interaction, contaminant concentration prediction and water reuse responses to the drought consequences of climate change.

 

Extended website includes enhanced and additional simulations.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The sixth edition of this established text provides an excellent and comprehensive treatment of fluid mechanics that is concisely written and supported by numerous worked examples.

This revision of a classic text presents relevant material for mechanical and civil engineers, as well as energy and environmental services engineers. It recognises the evolution of the subject and provides thorough coverage of both established theory and emerging topics.

Fluid Mechanics has become a textbook of choice favourite with both students and lecturers, due to its:

Excellent coverage

• All the latest developments and applications, including emerging specialisms
• Strong coverage of the principles of fluid flow - fundamentals emphasized early in the text

Emphasis on understanding

• Good, clear explanations, together with extensive worked examples and tutorials – brought together to reinforce the reader’s understanding of all the key principles

Helpful resources on accompanying website at www.pearsoned.co.uk/douglas

• With solutions to tutorials and web accessible fluid mechanics simulations, presented through some 20 programs, all fully discussed in the text

Building on the success of previous editions, this sixth edition introduces the following new features:

·        New sections dealing with rotodynamic machine interaction, contaminant  concentration prediction and water reuse responses to the drought consequences of climate change.

• Extended website to include enhanced and additional simulations

Fluid Mechanics is ideal for use throughout a first degree course in all engineering disciplines where a good understanding of the subject is required.  It is also suitable for conversion MSc courses requiring a fundamental treatment of Fluid Mechanics and will be a valuable resource for specialist Continuing Professional Development courses, including those offered by distance learning.
