|
From Book News, Inc.
A revised and updated textbook (3rd ed., 1990) presenting the principles of fluid mechanics and their application to practical problems. Primary emphasis is on fluid properties, fluid statics, flow of fluids in pipes and noncircular conduits, pump selection and application, open channel flow, forces developed by fluids in motion, the design and analysis of HVAC ducts, the flow of gases, and the measurement of pressure, density, viscosity, and flow. Assumes an un... >> |
