DESCRIPTION:
Engineering Fluid Mechanics builds on the success of previous editions to help engineers learn how to apply concepts by keeping them engaged and active throughout the book. With its physical/visual approach, engineers will quickly gain an intuitive understanding of the principles.. Simple and effective examples show how key equations are utilized in practice, and step-by-step descriptions provide details into the processes that engineers follow. Each chapter also outlines the three most important things they will be able to accomplish once the concepts are learned. Connecting the math and theory of fluid mechanics to practical applications can be a difficult process
"Significant errors and mistakes" according to Tom. I took fluid mechanics as a junior with this textbook. First off, there are a surprisingly large number of errors in the book, including writing mistakes and errors in the example problems. The layout and color scheme of the text are dull and unimaginative. Despite these issues, the text overall was solid and the most important topics were well-covered. Still, considering the number of mistakes for such a late edition, I would avoid this text.. Slight Problems with the E-book I purchased the e-book copy of this text book for my Fluid Mechanics class this semester. The chapters are all in the same order and format as in the physical book and each page is the exact same, to my knowledge. So far I have learned quite a bit of Fluid Mechanics, but I still have much of the book to go since I am only 3 weeks into the semester. I've found the chapters to be fairly easy to read and understand and have not found any problems with the practice problems that I have completed. My only complaint about the e-book copy is. Cody B. said Eh Okay.. This book has a lot of typos and misprints. For example a problem picture will show, 10 m/s, but the problem description says 8 m/s. Quite a few mismatches between problem diagrams and descriptions. It has some good problems, but isn't the best at explaining principles.Its okay, at best.
