Description
Fox, McDonald, and Pritchard provide a balanced and comprehensive approach to fluid mechanics that equips students with a proven problem-solving methodology. The text helps students develop an orderly approach to problem solving: start with the basic equations, clearly state all assumptions, perform the analysis, and check and interpret results for engineering consistency and common sense.

Students learn from numerous example problems that consistently apply the methodology throughout the book, and the encouraged usage of Excel for number crunching lets them focus more on the meaning behind the numbers. Students can analyze much more complicated scenarios, and become more confident in their problem-solving ability.

 This revision, perhaps the most comprehensive since the First Edition, focuses on clarifying and simplifying the exposition while still maintaining the text’s biggest strengths—broad coverage of theories and a large quantity of example problems.

 Intended Courses:

  • Department:  Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering
  • Course Name:  Fluid Mechanics
  • Course Level:  Junior - Senior
