Features: This classic textbook, Fluid Mechanics and Its Engineering Applications, inherits and develops the tradition of explaining physical phenomena in fluid mechanics, applying fundamental principles in the simplest and most clear possible way without using complex mathematical tools. For engineering students, the important thing is to vividly visualize the physical phenomena being discussed. Therefore, this book strongly emphasizes the physical phenomena of fluid mechanics, running throughout the entire book. It focuses on the fundamental principles, basic assumptions, and conditions of their application in fluid mechanics, then demonstrates how to apply these principles to solve practical engineering problems. The manuscript includes examples, exercises after sections, and problems after chapters. It also provides numerous examples and problems in both BG and SI units to familiarize students with the conversion between the two systems. The total number of exercises and problems in this book reaches 1354. Despite being extensively revised, this highly acclaimed textbook still maintains its traditional approach of teaching fundamental concepts through solving engineering problems. In this book, all topics are explained more clearly and integrated. It also selects many challenging problems that can be solved using computers and programmable calculators. Some newly selected problems can be solved using Excel, Mathcad, and HP-48G. This book can be used as a textbook for professional basic courses in majors such as hydraulic engineering, civil engineering, aerospace, and energy and power engineering, as well as a technical reference for related engineering professionals.
