N1  - Includes bibliographical references and index; The nature of fluids and the study of fluid mechanics -- Viscosity of fluids -- Pressure measurement -- Forces due to static fluids -- Buoyancy and stability -- Flow of fluids and Bernoulli's equation -- General energy equation -- Reynolds number, laminar flow, turbulent flow, and energy losses due to friction -- Velocity profiles for circular sections and flow in noncircular sections -- Minor losses -- Series pipeline systems -- Parallel pipeline systems -- Pump selection and application -- Open-channel flow -- Flow measurement -- Forces due to fluids in motion -- Drag and lift -- Fans, blowers, compressors, and the flow of gases -- Flow of air in ducts
N2  - "Applied Fluid Mechanics covers all of the basic principles of fluid mechanics - both statics and dynamics - in a clear, practical presentation that ties theory directly to real devices and systems used in chemical process industries, manufacturing, plant engineering, wastewater handling, and product design. Included is an extensive Appendix that serves as a useful learning and problem-solving tool."--Jacket; CD-ROM contains: Academic versions of HYDROFLO, PumpBase, and HCALC
