Written by dedicated educators who are also real-life engineers with a passion for the discipline, Engineering Fluid Mechanics, 10th Edition, carefully guides students from fundamental fluid mechanics concepts to real-world engineering applications.
The Tenth Edition and its accompanying resources deliver a powerful learning solution that helps students develop a strong conceptual understanding of fluid flow phenomena through clear physical descriptions, relevant and engaging photographs, illustrations, and a variety of fully worked example problems. Packed with more than 1,100 problems— including open-ended design problems and computer-oriented problems—this text offers ample opportunities for students to apply fluid mechanics principles as they build knowledge in a logical way and enjoy the journey of discovery.
Key Features
- Rationale. Each section describes how the concepts to be covered are relevant so students can connect their learning to what is important to them.
- Visual Approach. Numerous sketches and photographs help students learn more effectively, particularly those who are visual learners.
- Seminal Equations. Emphasizes technical derivations so that students can learn to do the derivations on their own, increasing their levels of knowledge.
- Example Problems. Every chapter has approximately 10 example problems to demonstrate how the knowledge is used in context. Each example is worked out in detail.
- WileyPLUS. Delivers a uniquely powerful learning solution: a sound conceptual foundation for solving fluid mechanics problems that is a hallmark of the text along with easy-to-use tools and resources that facilitate the instructor’s ability to drive positive outcomes/success for students and each student’s commitment to learn.
