This book “Mechanics of Fluids” is written to serve the needs of under graduate students embarking introductory course in Mechanics of Fluids. This book is designed to meet the requirement of revised syllabus prescribed by the Anna University for 3rd Semester Civil engineering students of its affiliated colleges.
Unit I broadly deal with units and dimensions, properties of fluids and concept of system and control volume.
Unit II has an in depth dealing of fluid statics and kinematics.
Fluid dynamics are dealt in Unit III with specific to various topics such as Euler and Bernoulli’s equations and its applications, discharge measurements, laminar flow through pipes and between plates, friction factor, and momentum principle.
Unit IV has an in depth dealing of boundary layer concepts, development of laminar and turbulent flow through pipes, major and minor losses of flow in pipes and flow through pipes in series and in parallel.
Unit V deals with dimensional analysis, models and similitude, and scale effects.
Important solved problems and past examination Anna University question paper’s solved problems have been added in each unit which will enable the students to score high marks in the University examinations. In addition to this, two mark questions and answers are added at the tail end of each unit.
Though efforts have been taken aiming at a ‘zero flaw’ content, we do recognize that mistakes may have inadvertently crept in. We welcome constructive criticisms on any specific topics of this book.
