Publisher's Synopsis
A proven problem–solving approach in Fluid Mechanics now integrated with Excel!
Fox, McDonald & Pritchard provide a balanced approach to fluid mechanics that arms students with a proven problem–solving methodology. Students will learn to adopt an orderly approach to solving problems.
- Providing a fresh look, new co–author Philip J. Pritchard, of Manhattan College, has clarified and improved descriptions and explanations throughout the book.
- The text emphasizes the control volume concept to provide a practical problem solving approach that is theoretically inclusive.
- 116 detailed example problems illustrate important concepts; each problem is solved in complete detail to demonstrate good solution procedure.
- 45 example problems have associated Excel /workbooks that enable students to perform “What if?” scenarios when studying the examples; many of the workbooks can be modified to solve end–of–chapter problems.
- Students can use Excel to vary problems parameters to gain insight into the behavior of complex solutions.
- 1315 end–of–chapter problems, with varying degrees of difficulty, provide the opportunity to practice building problem–solving skills.
- The CD accompanying the text includes: special and/or advanced topic sections for further study that are not include in the printed text, 45 example problem workbooks in Excel , and “A Brief Review of Microsoft Excel ” (an introduction to Excel's basic features, and such advanced features as Solver and macros).
