Feature Summary| The 5th edition of Fluid Mechanics includes many new features, beneficial to both students and professors. Example problems have been restructured to reflect a systematic problem solving methodology that helps students formulate, then solve typical fluid mechanic problems. New problems have also been added that use stimulating up-to-date examples, such as NASA's Bird-Of-Prey aircraft, the Harley Davidson V-Rod motorcycle, and the AMTRAK Acela train. New types of instruments and measurements have been added to the text such as the Stormer viscometer, the nutating disk meter, piezoelectric pressure gages, particle image velocimetry (PIV), and orifice-flow compressibility factors. |
