Features: This book is a textbook for undergraduate students in heating, ventilation, air conditioning engineering and gas engineering programs in higher industrial colleges. It can also be used as a reference for other related majors and engineering professionals. The book consists of sixteen chapters. The first twelve chapters cover fluid mechanics, with main content including: fluid statics, finite body and differential analysis of fluid motion, dimensional analysis and similarity principles, flow resistance and energy loss, pipe flow of incompressible fluids, ideal incompressible fluid plane irrotational flow, boundary layer theory and flow around objects, turbulent jets and turbulent diffusion, and one-dimensional gas dynamics. The last four chapters focus on fluid machinery, with main content including: impeller theory and equipment performance of centrifugal pumps and fans, similarity laws and operational regulation of pumps and fans. Compared to the long-standing system used in industrial colleges in China, the structure of this book has a new style. During the writing process, emphasis is placed on the explanation of fundamental theories and concepts, striving for clear reasoning and well-defined physical concepts. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises, and some answers to the exercises are provided.
