Editorial Reviews

With characteristics of a handbook and a textbook, this book should be useful for either reference or review....topics can be readily accessed without the need for a sequential reading of the text. "...develop[s] fluid mechanics from basic principles and without mathematical complexity.

Applied Mechanics Reviews

A bridge between the fundamentals of current fluid mechanics, which is mathematically oriented, and the day-to-day needs of the working engineer. Requires only an elementary knowledge of calculus and physics, and the barest glimmer of memory from graduate classes. Presents concepts and examples of their application, using both US customary and SI units; supplies equations each time they are needed, along with their derivation; reviews gas dynamics and thermodynamic principles; examines dimensionless parameters; lists the properties of nearly 50 selected fluids; and provides other practical help.
