0.0

Written with the second-year engineering students of undergraduate level in mind, this well set out textbook explains the fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics. Written in question-answer form, the book is precise and easy to understand. The book presents an exhaustive coverage of the theory, definitions, formulae and examples which are well supported by plenty of diagrams and problems in order to make the underlying principles more comprehensive. In the present second edition, the book has been thoroughly revised and enlarged. Modification to every chapter has been carried out on the basis of suggestions received. Additional typical problems based on the examination papers of various technical universities have been included with solutions for easy understanding by the students.
