ISE Fluid Mechanics Handbook

By Martin Linder

Build a complete working foundation in fluid mechanics-from the pressure in a stationary liquid to turbulent flow, compressible gas dynamics, and the machines that move fluids.ISE Fluid Mechanics Handbook gives engineering students, practicing engineers, and serious independent learners a structured path through the principles that govern liquids and gases at rest and in motion.
Instead of presenting equations as formulas to memorize, this handbook develops the physical reasoning behind them and shows how fundamental laws connect to practical engineering analysis.
Inside, you will learn how to: Analyze density, viscosity, pressure, buoyancy, hydrostatic forces, and floating-body stabilityApply conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and angular momentum to engineering flow problemsUse Bernoulli's equation correctly and account for pumps, turbines, and head lossesMaster dimensional analysis, Buckingham Pi, similitude, Reynolds number, Froude number, and Mach numberUnderstand the Navier-Stokes equations, exact viscous-flow solutions, and boundary conditionsAnalyze laminar and turbulent boundary layers, transition, Reynolds stresses, and turbulenceCalculate pipe friction, minor losses, flow measurement, and multi-pipe networksUnderstand drag, lift, flow separation, airfoil behavior, and vortex sheddingWork with open-channel flow, hydraulic jumps, compressible flow, choking, nozzles, and shock wavesExplore centrifugal pumps, fans, compressors, and hydraulic turbinesThe material moves deliberately from first principles to applied analysis, helping you see how the same conservation laws and physical concepts reappear across mechanical, civil, aerospace, chemical, environmental, and hydraulic engineering applications.Develop the fluid-mechanics intuition behind real engineering systems-add this comprehensive reference to your technical library today.
