The most popular book on the market that takes an applications-oriented approach to engineering technology fluid mechanics, "Applied Fluid Mechanics" covers all of the basic principles of fluid mechanics-both static and dynamic-in a clear, practical presentation that ties theory directly to real devices and systems used in chemical process industries, manufacturing, plant engineering, waste water handling and product design. Readable and clearly written, the new 6th edition brings a much more attractive appearance to the book and includes many updates and additional features. Primary emphasis is on fluid properties, the measurement of pressure, density, viscosity, and flow, fluid statics,…
