Applied Fluid Mechanics (Prentice-Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences)

A systematic and progressive exposition of traditional macroscopic fluid mechanics with differential process fluid mechanics. Particularly strong emphasis is placed on small-scale laminar flows arising in materials processing, notably of polymers and thin films. The author develops a solid background for addressing problems that arise in the processing of advanced materials and in related transport phenomena. Generously complemented by many applications-oriented problems, including solved examples and unsolved self-study exercises, the book is useful for any student or practicing hydraulic, process, materials, or atmospheric engineer working with the handling, transfer and processing of fluids.
