Mechanics of Fluids (SI Edition) 5e
In this book we present the general equations, both integral and differential, that result from the conservation of mass principle, Newton's second law, and the first law of thermodynamics. From these a number of particular situations will be considered that are of special interest. After studying this book, the engineer should be able to apply the basic principles of the mechanics of fluids to new and different situations.
In this chapter topics are presented thar are directly or indirectly relevant to all subsequent chapters. We include a macroscopic description of fluids, fluid properties, physical laws dominating fluid mechanics, and a summary of units and dimensions of important physical quantities. Before we can discuss quantities of interest, we must present the units and dimensions that will be used iin our study of fluid mechanics
