En -white frank fluid mechanics 4 ed

Preface

The fourth edition of this textbook sees some additions and deletions but no philosophical

change. The basic outline of eleven chapters and five appendices remains the

same. The triad of integral, differential, and experimental approaches is retained and

is approached in that order of presentation. The book is intended for an undergraduate

course in fluid mechanics, and there is plenty of material for a full year of instruction.

The author covers the first six chapters and part of Chapter 7 in the introductory semester.

The more specialized and applied topics from Chapters 7 to 11 are then covered

at our university in a second semester. The informal, student-oriented style is retained

and, if it succeeds, has the flavor of an interactive lecture by the author.

Approximately 30 percent of the problem exercises, and some fully worked examples,

have been changed or are new. The total number of problem exercises has increased

to more than 1500 in this fourth edition. The focus of the new problems is on practical

and realistic fluids engineering experiences. Problems are grouped according to

topic, and some are labeled either with an asterisk (especially challenging) or a computer-

disk icon (where computer solution is recommended). A number of new photographs

and figures have been added, especially to illustrate new design applications

and new instruments.
