Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics by Ranald V. Giles is a thorough introduction to the key concepts and applications of fluid mechanics and hydraulics. The book presents an in-depth examination of fluid properties, as well as the fundamentals of fluid statics and dynamics, with an emphasis on real-world engineering uses. It covers vital subjects such as pressure, buoyancy, flow measurement, and th…
his book has been written with the idea of providing the fundamentals for those who are interested in the field of heat transfer to non-Newtonian fluids. It is well recognized that non-Newtonian fluids are encountered in a number of transport processes and estimation of the heat transfer characteristics in the presence of these fluids requires analysis of equations that are far more complex tha…
