Fluid Mechanics in SI Units, 2nd edition

For Fluid Mechanics courses found in Civil and Environmental, General Engineering, and Engineering Technology and Industrial Management departments.Fluid Mechanics is intended to provide a comprehensive guide to a full understanding of the theory and many applications of fluid mechanics. The text features many of the hallmark pedagogical aids unique to Hibbeler texts, including its student-friendly, clear organization. The text supports the development of student problem-solving skills through a large variety of problems, representing a broad range of engineering disciplines that stress practical, realistic situations encountered in professional practice, and provide varying levels of difficulty. The text offers flexibility in that basic principles are covered in chapters 1-6, and the remaining chapters can be covered in any sequence without the loss of continuity.
Updates to the 2nd Edition result from comments and suggestions from colleagues, reviewers in the teaching profession, and many of the author’s students, and include expanded topic coverage and new Example and Fundamental Problems intended to further students’ understanding of the theory and its applications.Pearson Mastering^TM Engineering is not included. Students, if Pearson Mastering Engineering is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. Mastering Engineering should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States.

Introduce course concepts with a focus on problem solving and application

· The organization and approach of the text presents a structured method for introducing each new definition or concept, and to make the book a convenient resource for later reference and review. Each chapter is organized into well-defined sections that contain an explanation of specific topics, illustrative example problems, and, at the end of the chapter, a set of relevant homework problems.

· Procedures for Analysis is a unique feature that provides students with a logical and orderly method for applying theory and building problem-solving skills. The example problems are then solved using this outlined method in order to clarify its numerical application.

· EXPANDED! Topic Coverage. The material in Chapters 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 11 has enhanced discussion on some topics, including additional data in the tables in Chapters 10, 11, and 12.

· UPDATED! Rewriting of text material provides a further clarification of the material throughout the book either with an expanded discussion or by deleting material less relevant to a particular topic.

· Important Points provide a summary of the most important concepts in a section and highlights the most significant points that should be realized when applying the theory to solve problems.

· Photographs are used throughout the book to explain how the principles of fluid mechanics apply to real-world situations.

o NEW! Additional new photos and figures help the student obtain a better understanding of the subject matter.

· Alternative Coverage is possible. After coverage of the basic principles of Fluid Mechanics in Chapters 1-6, the remaining chapters may be presented in any sequence, without the loss of continuity. An asterisk indicates sections involving more advanced topics, and most of these topics are placed in the later chapters of the book.

· A rigorous Triple Accuracy Checking review of the 2nd Edition includes the author's review of all content, as well as the following individuals checking the text:

o Kai Beng Yap, a practicing engineer

o Kurt Norlin, Bittner Development Group

o Pavel Kolmakov and Vadim Semenenko at Competentum

The SI edition has been reviewed by three additional reviewers.

Help students think critically and put theory into practice

· End of Chapter Reviews provide each important point accompanied by the relevant equation and art from the chapter, providing students with a concise tool for reviewing chapter contents.

· Example Problems illustrate the application of fundamental theory to practical engineering problems and reflect problem-solving strategies discussed in associated Procedures for Analysis.

o EXPANDED! Many of the examples throughout the book have been expanded for clarification.

· Homework Problems depict realistic situations encountered in engineering practice. This realism is intended to both stimulate interest in the subject, and provide a means for developing the skills to reduce any problem from its physical description to a model or symbolic representation to which the principles of fluid mechanics may then be applied.

· Topic Coverage. The material in Chapters 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 11 has enhanced discussion on some topics, including additional data in the tables in Chapters 10, 11, and 12.

· Rewriting of text material provides a further clarification of the material throughout the book either with an expanded discussion or by deleting material that seemed not relevant to a particular topic.

· Additional new photos and figures help the student obtain a better understanding of the subject matter.

· Many of the examples throughout the book have been expanded for clarification.

· Fundamental Problems have been added to Chapter 10, Analysis and Design for Pipe Flow, to enhance the student’s understanding of the theory and its applications.

Pearson Mastering^TM Engineering is not included. Students, if Pearson Mastering Engineering is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. Pearson Mastering Engineering should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

· Enhanced End-of-Chapter exercises offer wrong-answer feedback and hints as students work through problems taken directly from the book.

· Learning Catalytics^TM helps generate class discussion, guide lectures, and promote peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. As a student response tool, Learning Catalytics uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more interactive tasks and thinking.
