Fluid Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications

Rate this book
Cengel and Cimbala's Fluid Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications, communicates directly with tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner. The text covers the basic principles and equations of fluid mechanics in the context of numerous and diverse real-world engineering examples. The text helps students develop an intuitive understanding of fluid mechanics by emphasizing the physics, using figures, numerous photographs and visual aids to reinforce the physics. The highly visual approach enhances the learning of Fluid mechanics by students. This text distinguishes itself from others by the way the material is presented - in a progressive order from simple to more difficult, building each chapter upon foundations laid down in previous chapters. In this way, even the traditionally challenging aspects of fluid mechanics can be learned effectively.



McGraw-Hill is also proud to offer ConnectPlus powered by Maple with the third edition of Cengel/Cimbabla, Fluid Mechanics. This innovative and powerful new system that helps your students learn more easily and gives you the ability to customize your homework problems and assign them simply and easily to your students. Problems are graded automatically, and the results are recorded immediately. Natural Math Notation allows for answer entry in many different forms, and the system allows for easy customization and authoring of exercises by the instructor.

اضافه کردن رفرنس‌های دانشگاه مخصوصا تو زمینه های غیر از علوم اجتماعی در گودریدز خیلی مرسوم نیست. ولی ازون جایی که کتابهای "سنجل" (مخصوصا کتاب انتقال حرارت و مکانیک سیالات) در ایران یه مقداری ناشناخته است، ‏به نظرم اومد معرفی و تبلیغش بد نباشه.‏
کتاب‌های ایشون متن بسیار روان، آسان و جذابی دارن و در خیلی جاها بعضی از تعاریف رو برای فهم بهتر از نو نوشته مثلا برای ترم "سرعت^2\2×شتاب جاذبه" در خط تراز هیدرولیکی اسم "هد سرعت" رو گذاشته با این تعریف که: هدف سرعت ارتفاعی است که نیاز است سیال برای رسیدن به سرعت مورد نظر در یک سقوط آزاد بدون اصطکاک داشته باشد. اگر زمینه کاریتون مربوط به مباحث انرژی و دینامیک سیالات میشه حتما یه نگاهی به کتابای ایشون بندازین

Etter å ha hatt fluidmekanikk 1 og 2 har jeg endelig lest mesteparten av denne boken. Lettlest lærebok med interessante innslag av fluidmekanikkens historie.

It is the best book you can find to learn all about fluid mechanics -especially if you are a chemical engineering major.

The concepts are explained in an attractive manner, by use of visual aids such as images which help to grasp them easily. Also, they have explained how the fluid mechanics have been evolved till today and the reader is left excited about the future scope of research and applications in this subject.

Although at a lower level(mathematical) than other books with similar approach(like Munson's), it offers intuition and has good examples. It offers the physical explanations to nearly every mathematical description of a phenomenon, but it does not go the extra mile to delve into some subtle themes, something that would be very useful for a physics major student. But for engineering students it is the ideal book.

A great book! With a communicative way of explaining the shopisticated fluid-mechanics-things, I can both understand and laugh at certain parts. Wish me an A in fluid mechanics!

Skipped a few chapters and certain section as they are not tested.
But reading this give me a better understanding of fluid dynamics and make you see the world in a different way.

The examples in this book is easy but not too much to explain the proof perfectly...
