The fifth edition of FLUID MECHANICS continues the tradition of precision, accuracy, accessibility and strong conceptual presentation. The author... balances three separate approaches¿integral, differential and experimental¿to provide a foundation for fluid mechanics concepts and applications. Chapter 1 now provides a more student-accessible introduction to the field. After covering the basics in the first six chapters, the text moves on to applications, with chapters on ducts, immersed bodies, potential flow, compressible flow, open channel flow and turbomachinery. New material on CFD is included in Chapter 7 to give students a sense of its importance in modern engineering practice. The fifth edition includes a new problem-solving methodology, introduced at the beginning of the book and used consistently in worked-out examples. 1,650 chapter problems are now included, organized into several problem types. Students can progress from general ones to those involving design, multiple steps and computer usage. Word problems are included to build readers’ conceptual understanding of the subject, and FE Exam problems (in multiple-choice format) are included. EES (Engineering Equation Solver) software is included so that students can effectively use the computer to model, solve and modify typical fluid mechanics problems.

In addition to the bound-in CD ROM, a full Book Website is available for students and instructors. This contains an electronic Student Study Guide; interactive FE Exam questions; links to professional websites; PowerPoint slides of book figures; and a link to the EES website. A printed Solutions Manual is also available to adopters of the fifth edition.

Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications, communicates directly with tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner. The text covers the... basic principles and equations of fluid mechanics in the context of numerous and diverse real-world engineering examples. The text helps students develop an intuitive understanding of fluid mechanics by emphasizing the physics, using figures, numerous photographs and visual aids to reinforce the physics. Fluid mechanics is by its very nature a highly visual subject, and students learn more readily by visual stimulation. This text distinguishes itself from others by the way the material is presented - in a progressive order from simple to more difficult, building each chapter upon foundations laid down in previous chapters. In this way, even the traditionally challenging aspects of fluid mechanics can be learned effectively.

Engineers not only need to understand the basics of how fluid power components work, but they must also be able to design these components into systems... and analyze or model fluid power systems and circuits. There has long been a need for a comprehensive text on fluid power systems, written from an engineering perspective, which is suitable for an undergraduate-level course in fluid power.Fluid Power Circuits and Controls: Fundamentals and Applications encourages students to think of the collection of components as a system. The author illustrates each concept with a circuit diagram, and as each component is discussed, immediately places it in a circuit and analyzes its performance. This approach allows students to immediately apply what they have learned and encourages them to think about how the component operating characteristics interact with the rest of the circuit.Covering all aspects of the industry, this book:Develops the basic concept for power delivery with fluidsReviews basic concepts of fluid mechanics and discusses the key properties of the fluidsDiscusses the creation and control of flow and the various methods used to control pressure in a circuitProvides a detailed example of the classic problem of hydrostatic transmission designPresents characteristics of auxiliary components and applicable SAE standardsAddresses pneumatics, focusing on the difference in power transmission for liquid and gasDiscusses servo valves and proportional valves without requiring a background in automatic controlsThe text is richly illustrated, filled with fully worked example problems, and reinforced with exercises in each chapter. Fluid Power Circuits and Controls offers valuable design experience and the background its readers need to approach real-world fluid power problems with confidence.

Fluid Power: Hydraulics and Pneumatics is a teaching package aimed at students pursuing a technician-level career path. It teaches the fundamentals of... fluid power and provides details on the design and operation of hydraulic and pneumatic components, circuits, and systems. Extensive coverage is provided for both hydraulic and pneumatic systems. This book does not contain engineering calculations that will confuse students, rather applies math skills to the formulas needed by the technician-level student. This teaching package provides comprehensive exposure to the fluid power field.Bundled with the textbook is the student version of FluidSIM® Hydraulic simulation software. This popular software from Festo Learning Systems allows circuits to be designed and simulated on the computer. The software can be used to provide additional activities of your own design.-Full-color illustrations throughout the text.-Each chapter includes detailed Internet resources related to the chapter topics to allow further exploration.-Each chapter concludes with a chapter test to measure student knowledge of the chapter topics.

This fluid power text uses a balance of U.S. Customary and S.I. units. It begins with six basic hydraulic chapters, then discusses control valves,... conduits and filtration, and ends with a solid overview of pneumatics. Includes strong problem sets and a detailed and precise art program. Six appendices include ISO viscosity grades, fluid power standards, ISO graphic symbols, and more.
