Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This graduate textbook aims at providing a coherent spread of the material required to gain knowledge of fluid mechanics. ... The derivation and explanations will definitely be helpful to the students and researchers ... . The author's decision to include the problems and projects at the end of each chapter will definitely be useful to the readers. The reviewer finds that the book is a useful addition to the existing graduate texts on fluid mechanics." (S. C. Rajvanshi, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1203, 2011)

O autorze

Meinhard Taher Schobeiri, Ph.D., is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University in College Station, where he studies fluid flow within turbomachinery components, behavior of turbomachinery systems, turbine performance, aerodynamics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics. Dr. Schobeiri is received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the Technical University Darmstadt in Germany, later joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering to establish two gas turbine research areas at Texas A&M University. He also worked for the Brown Boveri Gas Turbine Division in Switzerland, where he headed R&D for high efficiency gas turbine engines. Dr. Schobeiri holds a number of external grants and contracts, has won the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award (2000), and is a TAMU Faculty Fellow (2001) and TEES Fellow (1998).
