Summary
Summary
This user-friendly introduction to fluid mechanics for engineering technology covers all essential topics without the use of calculus. Many worked-out examples show how both BASIC programming and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets can be used to solve typical fluid mechanics problems. The new edition adopts a unified approach to the solution of all illustrative problems; expands sections on buoyancy, viscosity, pipe flow and flow losses; increases the number of problems by 60 percent, particularly for the topics of conversions, buoyancy, viscosity, fluid dynamics, the energy equation, and flow in pipes; and provides action-oriented Learning Goals for each chapter, which outline specific actions students should be able to complete having read the chapter.
