ENGINEERING FLUID MECHANICS-------PHI
Engineering Fluid Mechanics provides the basic concept of fluids and fluid flow which is essential for almost all engineering disciplines. This comprehensive and systematically organized book presents a thorough, concise and accurate discussion of the fundamentals and principles in fluid mechanics. It analyses the problems involving fluid flow using simple mathematical formulations to help students follow the methodologies for future work.
Along with the fundamental principles, the book discusses in detail, the analysis of incompressible and compressible flows, dimensional analysis and similarity, measurements in fluid flow and hydraulic machinery.
The book is designed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of civil, mechanical, electrical and electronics, chemical and aeronautical engineering. The book will also be extremely useful for practising engineers.
