A Textbook of Fluid Mechanics - In SI Units

A Textbook of Fluid Mechanics (In SI Units)
By R.K. Rajput

One of the most exhaustive texts on the subject for close to twenty years, this book is written primarily for students of Mechanical Engineering but works equally well as a reference text for other engineering courses. Written with the aim of presenting comprehensive subject matter in simple, lucid, and direct language, it's built around a large number of properly graded solved problems, including typical examples relevant from an examination standpoint. Important topics ranging from fluid dynamics, laminar flow, and turbulent flow through to hydraulic turbines and centrifugal pumps are explained thoroughly throughout.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Properties of fluids and pressure measurement
• Hydrostatic forces on surfaces
• Buoyancy and floatation
• Fluid kinematics and fluid dynamics
• Dimensional and model analysis
• Flow through orifices, mouthpieces, notches, and weirs
• Laminar and turbulent flow through pipes
• Boundary layer theory
• Flow around submerged bodies (drag and lift)

Key features:

• A total of 23 chapters, each supported by special sections of recent university exam questions with solutions, and GATE/UPSC exam questions with answers
• Large number of self-explanatory figures and worked/typical examples throughout
• End-of-chapter highlights, objective-type questions, and unsolved practice problems
• Nearly two decades of continuous use as a standard reference in the field
• Multicolour edition designed to make dense technical diagrams easier to follow

Perfect for:

• Mechanical engineering undergraduates studying fluid mechanics
• Students preparing for GATE, UPSC, and AMIE Section B examinations
• Students needing a companion volume ahead of a hydraulic machines course
• Practicing engineers keeping a comprehensive fluid mechanics reference on hand
