Applied Fluid Mechanics, 8th edition

  • Joseph A. Untener
  • Robert L. Mott

Overview

Applied Fluid Mechanics presents the basic principles of fluid mechanics in a plain-language format that prepares you to design and analyze practical fluid flow systems. Using problem-solving procedures and real-world example problems, the text ties theory to the real devices and systems used in mechanical, chemical, civil, and environmental engineering fields. Complementary access to PIPE-FLO® modeling software gives you practice performing professional analyses. Suitable for students who understand algebra, trigonometry, and mechanics, the 8th edition has been completely updated and revised to meet current industry standards.
