For courses in fluid mechanics. A proven approach to conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills Fluid Mechanics excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of fluid mechanics principles. It empowers students to succeed by drawing upon Professor Hibbeler's decades of classroom experience and knowledge of how students learn. The text is shaped by the suggestions of hundreds of peer reviewers and many of his students. Hallmark features of this titleKey author content enhances conceptual understanding

• Procedures for Analysis provide a logical, orderly method for analyzing general and specific fluid mechanics problems.
• Important Points summarize crucial concepts and what should be known to apply the theory to solve problems.

• End-of-Chapter Reviews provide a concise self-study tool. Each important point is accompanied by the relevant equation and art. Real-world problem types connect theory to application

• Conceptual Problems engage students in thinking through a real-life situation depicted in a photo.
• Fundamental Problems offer students the chance to develop their problem-solving skills.

• Homework Problems with various levels of difficulty let students apply their knowledge to realistic situations.

  Fluid Mechanics excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of fluid mechanics principles. Drawing upon his decades of classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn, Professor Hibbeler provides highly visual, methodical applications to help you conceptualize and master difficult concepts. A variety of problem types stress realistic situations encountered in the field, with several levels of difficulty to give you the practice you need to excel in your courses and career.
