We inhabit a world of fluids, including air (a gas),
water (a liquid), steam (vapour) and the numerous natural and synthetic
fluids which are essential to modern-day life. Fluid mechanics concerns
the way fluids flow in response to imposed stresses. The subject plays a
central role in the education of students of mechanical engineering, as
well as chemical engineers, aeronautical and aerospace engineers, and
civil engineers. This textbook includes numerous examples of practical
applications of the theoretical ideas presented, such as calculating the
thrust of a jet engine, the shock- and expansion-wave patterns for
supersonic flow over a diamond-shaped aerofoil, the forces created by
liquid flow through a pipe bend and/or junction, and the power output of
a gas turbine.
The first ten chapters of the book are suitable for
first-year undergraduates. The latter half covers material suitable for
fluid-mechanics courses for upper-level students Although knowledge of
calculus is essential, this text focuses on the underlying physics. The
book emphasizes the role of dimensions and dimensional analysis, and
includes more material on the flow of non-Newtonian liquids than is
usual in a general book on fluid mechanics -- a reminder that the
majority of synthetic liquids are non-Newtonian in character.
