Hallmark Features
|
· Greater number of solved examples than most competing texts.
· Good emphasis on practical problems.
· Early introduction of Bernoulli Equation.
· Summary sentences - A brief summary sentence on each page of the text. An effective reference and resource for students, these sentences help students locate discussions of important concepts. Used as a study tool, the summary sentences guide students to the key concepts they need to understand.
· Each example problem is completely solved using a problem statement and detailed solution, often giving a brief discussion of related principles from real-life situations.
· Key Words and Topics - Each chapter contains a list of key words and topics for review.
· Fluid Mechanics Phenomena - A series of 80 short video segments on the book website illustrate various aspects of real-world fluid mechanics.
· Many of the segments show how fluid motion relates to familiar devices and everyday experiences.
· Each segment also clearly indicates the key fluid mechanics topic being demonstrated and provides a description of the content.
· Review Problems with Complete Solutions-For each chapter, the book website provides students with 10-20 review problems, so they can get additional practice, and check their work with the answer provided. In addition, the review problems are identified by the basic principle they demonstrate, allowing students easy reference to areas they need to review.
· Lab Problems - The book website contains 30 extended laboratory problems that involve actual experimental data for simple experiments often found in introductory fluid mechanics labs. The data for these problems is provided in Excel format.
· CFD appendix with FlowLab-Computational fluid dynamics material is provided in an appendix to give those who wish an introduction to the use of CFD to solve engineering fluid mechanics problems. FlowLab (software for solution of CDF problems) is available free-of-charge for schools adopting this text. (This offer is available in the Americas only. Fees vary by geographic region outside the Americas.) Visit the Instructor Companion Site to request FlowLab to be installed in your department.
· "Fluids in the News"-A set of brief stories describing interesting, novel, and current applications of fluid mechanics is provided to generate interest in the topic.
· A brief "Chapter Summary and Study Guide" at the end of each chapter reinforce the key concepts students need to understand
