This book is intended to be used as a textbook for a first course in fluid mechanics. It stresses on principles and takes the students through the various development in theory and applications. A number of exercises are given at the end of each chapter, all of which have been successfully class-tested by the authors. It will be ideally suited for students taking an undergraduate degree in engineering in all universities in India.
Fluid Mechanics has transformed from fundamental subject to application-oriented subject. Over the years, numerous experts introduced number of books on the theme. Majority of them are rather theoretical with numerical problems and derivations. However, due to increase in computational facilities and availability of MATLAB and equivalent software tools, the subject is also transforming into computational perspective. We firmly believe that this new dimension will greatly benefit present generation students. The present book is an effort to tackle the subject in MATLAB environment and consists of 16 chapters. The book can support undergraduate students in fluid mechanics, and can also be refe...
"With the appearance and fast evolution of high performance materials, mechanical, chemical and process engineers cannot perform effectively without fluid processing knowledge. The purpose of this book is to explore the systematic application of basic engineering principles to fluid flows that may occur in fluid processing and related activities. In Viscous Fluid Flow, the authors develop and rationalize the mathematics behind the study of fluid mechanics and examine the flows of Newtonian fluids. Although the material deals with Newtonian fluids, the concepts can be easily generalized to non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. The book contains many examples. Each chapter is accompanied by problems where the chapter theory can be applied to produce characteristic results. Fluid mechanics is a fundamental and essential element of advanced research, even for those working in different areas, because the principles, the equations, the analytical, computational and experimental means, and the purpose are common.
It is a long way from the first edition in 1976 to the present sixth edition in 1995.This edition is dedicated to the memory of Prof.S.P.Luthra(Once Head,Applied Mechanics Director,IIT Delhi)who wrote the foreword to its first edition.So many faculty members and students from different parts of the country ad from abroad have acceptedthe text and contributed to its development.The book has been improved and updated with every edition.
