This reader-friendly book fosters a strong conceptual understanding of fluid flow phenomena through lucid physical descriptions, photographs, clear illustrations and fully worked example problems. More than 1,100 problems, including open-ended design problems and computer-oriented problems, provide an opportunity to apply fluid mechanics principles. Throughout, the authors have meticulously reviewed all problems, solutions, and text material to ensure accuracy. The Student Solutions Manual contains 100 example problems with solutions, designed by the authors to address the main concepts of each chapter of their text, Engineering Fluid Mechanics, 7E. These complete worked-out solutions help walk you through problem-solving processes that you can apply to the exercises in the main text. Booknews New edition of a text that guides readers from fundamental fluid mechanics concepts to real-world engineering applications. Through physical descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and fully worked example problems, Crowe and John A. Roberson (Washington State U.) and Donald F. Elger (U. of Idaho) provide a way for students to get the feel for flow patterns, pressure variation, and shear stress in fluid flow. About 1,100 open-ended and computer-oriented problems relate to the application of fluid mechanics principles. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
