About the Book: Fluid Mechanics: an Intermediate Approach
This book keeps students grounded in the basic conservation principles and
motivates them to understand and solve each flow problem in terms of physical
principles, which empowers them with new confidence in the subject. It develops
a strong foundation in control volume analyses for the basic conservation laws
of mass, momentum, energy and entropy in inertial and non-inertial reference
frames, including an exceptionally intuitive understanding of 1-D compressible
flows with area change, Friction, heat transfer and Rotation under both
continuous and abrupt changes in entropy.
