Covers the science of fluid flow at velocities in excess of five times the speed of sound. It provides an introduction to the characteristics of hypersonic flow, describes problems associated with it and presents the theories underlying the aspects of flow study.

Revision of the leading textbook for graduate level fluid mechanics courses covering viscous and non-viscous flows. Commences with basic principles, followed by a solid development of the mathematics and physics leading to the theories of fluids. Numerous examples and problem exercises support concepts presented.

Designed for the practicing engineer, this authoritative work provides the first, comprehensive reference devoted to metering pumps, covering all aspects of their selection, application, and operation. This single-volume source simplifies the utilization of metering pumps for process and waste water treatment, as well as chemical dosing and blending-important functions in every major industry- reducing costs and saving valuable time.

A two volume set covering the latest developments of multiphase flow and heat transfer. Including : modeling of the loss of coolant accident in pressurized water nuclear reactors, scaling up of fluidized bed reactors for converting coal to clean gaseous and liquid fuels, design of heat exchangers for liquidfied natural gas and petroleum gas, and control of microcontamination and air pollution control.

Pumps, fans, compressors and turbines are essential components in all engineering complexes. This book explains the basic fluid mechanics and thermodynamics underlying their design in a clear and uncomplicated way, with many examples and worked exercises. By treating the machines as either centrifugal, centripetal or axial flow devices, the author is able to make their basic principles and their similarities and differences readily comprehensible to the student.

This book provides students and researchers in fluid engineering with an up-to-date overview of turbulent flow of research in the areas of simulation and modeling.

Covers the basic concepts, the energy equations, thermofluid applications, thermofluid processes and thermofluid engineering. There are many explanatory figures and throughout the book progress questions are provided for the reader to carry out self-assessment; there are also copious end of chapter exercises with solutions.The book provides the essential insight needed to equip engineers for the current demands of industry.
