This text is intended for the study of fluid mechanics at an intermediate level. The presentation starts with basic concepts, in order to form a sound conceptual structure that can support engineering applications and encourage further learning. The presentation is exact, incorporating both the mathematics involved and the physics needed to understand the various phenomena in fluid mechanics. Where a didactical choice must be made between the two, the physics prevails. Throughout the book the authors have tried to reach a balance between exact presentation, intuitive grasp of new ideas, and...

Covers the applied physics and mathematics concepts of thermodynamics, and various applications important to engineering students. This text presents discussion of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, and deals with those issues appropriate for adv
