Problems in Fluid Mechanics
. It gives us great pleasure, to present a book of problems in Fluid Mechanics. Fluid Mechanics is developed from Hydraulics which is a. very old science that deals with the practical problems associated with the flow of water.
This book is mainly prepared for the second year syllabus of Civil, Mechanical, Production, Chemical, Polymer and Pertroleum Engineering of all Universities.
In this book, in order to develop more confidence in solving problems, various types and sufficient number of problems are solved from different universities. Secondly, students commit mistakes in units, which are made more clear in this book.
Every care has been taken to present the matter in precise and very simple language. Simple, self explainatory figures are given so as to enable the students to reproduce in the exams very easily.
In this entire book SI system of units is used. All the necessary care has been taken to avoid mistakes and misprints in this book. However, it is quite likely that some mistakes, misprints might have passed unnoticed. Small mistakes and misprints of the book, if brought to notice will be gratefully acknowledged.
The subject Fluid Mechanics is developed from Hydraulics. The term Hydraulics is taken from the Greek word ‘Hudour’ — which means water.
Hydraulics is a very old science, that deals with the practical problems which are associated with the flow of water.
Fluid Mechanics is a science that deals with the behaviour of fluid which is at rest or in motion. The study of behaviour of fluid at rest is known as Hydrostatics.
The study of behaviour of fluids in motion, if the pressure forces are not considered, then it is known as Hydrokinematics and if the pressure forces are considered, then it is termed as Hydrodynamics.
