An introduction to fluid mechanics and transport phenomena

This book presents the foundations of fluid mechanics and transport phenomena in a concise way. It is suitable as an introduction to the subject as it contains many examples, proposed problems and a chapter for self-evaluation.

The foundations of fluid mechanics and transport phenomena are presented in a simple basic way All transport phenomena are explained from a systematic, unified point of view The core subjects of the book are conservation principles, dimensional analysis and transport phenomena Besides the numerous examples and proposed problems, there is a self-evaluation chapter
