Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This successful book presents the fundamentals of fluid mechanics clearly and succinctly. Knowledge of fluid flow is essential to industries involving heat transfer, chemical processes, and aerodynamics. The book makes use of a problem-solving methodology and includes outstanding example problems. Topics covered are flow fields; potential theory and boundary layer theory; Bernoulli's Equation, Dimensional Analysis.

Ill., text on lining papers. - With answers to even-numbered problems.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- Fundamental concepts -- Fluid statics -- Basic equations in integral form for a control volume -- Introduction to differential analysis of fluid motion -- Dynamics of incompressible inviscid flow --Dimensional analysis and similtude -- Incompressible viscous flow -- Introduction to compressible flow -- One dimensional compressible flow.
