Features: Engineering Fluid Mechanics is a science that applies the fundamental principles of mechanics to liquids and gases. This book integrates the characteristics of the latest textbooks from both domestic and international sources, emphasizing its fundamental and engineering application aspects. It primarily introduces the pressure distribution within fluids at rest or in relative rest in fluid statics, pressure measurement, and the static pressure acting on plane and curved surfaces. In fluid kinematics, it covers flow fields, streamlines, velocity analysis, rotational and irrotational flow, stream functions, thermal functions, and flow nets. In fluid dynamics, it discusses the conservation laws of mass, energy, and momentum for incompressible and compressible fluids, as well as their practical applications in internal pipe flow and external flow around objects. This book can serve as a textbook for students and professionals in fields such as Energy and Power Engineering, Building Environment and Equipment Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Petroleum and Chemical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering. It can also be used as a reference for researchers and engineers involved in fluid flow-related studies and applications.
