Here are all of the basic principles of fluid mechanics, both statics and dynamics, in a clear, practical presentation that ties theory directly to real devices and systems used in chemical process industries, manufacturing, plant engineering, waste water handling and product design. This edition incorporates the latest data on viscosity, introduces the use of the Swamee- Jain approach, to computing friction factors, and illustrates the latest pressure and flow devices available on the market. A unique presentation of the Moody diagram makes this complex diagram easy to use! A new graphic icon in the margins that highlights major formulae and definitions, and the use of a second color throughout, complete the revision. This text is well known for developing topics in a way students can easily follow...building one upon the other. Concepts are reinforced by a wealth of carefully-chosen practice problems-over 1,000 in all--and students learn fundamental principles through hands-on problem-solving, just as they will use them in the field. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.From the Back Cover:The most popular book on the market that takes an applications-oriented approach to engineering technology fluid mechanics,Applied Fluid Mechanics covers all of the basic principles of fluid mechanics-both static and dynamic-in a clear, practical presentation that ties theory directly to real devices and systems used in chemical process industries,...
