Mechanical Engineering Crash Course - Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Systems: 43 Stand-Alone Lessons with Practice Problems-Master Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulic Pumps, Turbines & System Design Fast

By Asher Cohen

Everything you need to conquer fluid mechanics and hydraulic systems-delivered in one power-packed crash course.

Whether you're:

- a mechanical engineering student racing toward mid-terms or the FE/PE exams

- a practicing engineer who needs a lightning-fast refresher

- a self-taught maker hungry for professional-grade knowledge

this comprehensive guide delivers crystal-clear explanations, step-by-step derivations, and calculation-ready formulas you can trust on the job or in the classroom.

What Sets This Book Apart

- 43 stand-alone chapters-jump straight to Bernoulli, Navier-Stokes, Boundary Layers, Water Hammer, Cavitation, Pelton/Francis/Kaplan turbines, Centrifugal Pump Design, Open-Channel Flow, and more without page-flipping frustration.

- Hundreds of practice problems with fully worked solutions cement the theory and prep you for exams.

- Exam-ready summaries highlight must-know equations, dimensionless numbers, and real-world design tips.

- All major fluid-power components covered: pumps, turbines, actuators, valves, accumulators, hydrostatic transmissions-plus system optimization for maximum efficiency.

- Industry-relevant topics include Reynolds Number scaling, Darcy-Weisbach friction, Moody diagram mastery, Hardy-Cross pipe networks, Manning and Chezy open-channel design, and cutting-edge hydraulic safety protocols.

Engineering isn't just about theory-it's about making things move. Open these pages and unlock the know-how to keep fluids flowing, turbines spinning, and careers accelerating.
