Fluid Mechanics is intended to provide a comprehensive guide to a full understanding of the theoryand many applications of Fluid mechanics. The text features many of the hallmark pedagogical aidsunique to Hibbeler texts, including its student-friendly clear organization. The text supports the development of student problem-solving skills through a large variety of problems, representing abroad range of engineering disciplines that stress practical, realistic situations encountered in professional practice, and provide varying levels of difficulty. Features ? The organization and approach of the text presents a structured method for introducing each new denition or concept, and to make the book a convenient resource for later reference and review. ? Procedures for Analysis is a unique feature that provides students with a logical and orderly method for applying theory and building problem-solving skills. The example problems are then solved using this outlined method in order to clarify its numerical application. ? Important Points provide a summary of the most important concepts in a section and highlights the most signicant points that should be realized when applying the theory to solve problems. ? Photographs are used throughout the book to explain how the principles of uid mechanics apply to real-world situations. ? Example Problems illustrate the application of fundamental theory to practical engineering problems and reect problem-solving strategies discussed in associated Procedures for Analysis. ? Homework Problems depict realistic situations encountered in engineering practice. This realism is intended to both stimulate interest in the subject, and provide a means for developing the skills to reduce any problem from its physical description to a model or symbolic representation to which the principles of Fluid mechanics may then be applied.
