Practical fluid mechanics for engineering applications
Bloomer
Covers the practical side of fluid mechanics for the practicing engineer. Bloomer, a product manager, begins with a review of the definitions, equations, and derivations that are useful for the material that follows. The bulk of the book develops equations for pipe flow and system designs, flow in open channels, flow measurement in closed conduits, forces on immersed objects, and unsteady flow. Appendices provide engineering conversion factors; pipe schedules; properties of areas, pipes and tubing; the saturated, critical and gas properties of 49 fluids; and the viscosity and density of compressed water and saturated steam.
