Cengel and Cimbala's Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications, communicates directly with tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner, while covering the basic principles and equations of fluid mechanics in the context of numerous and diverse real-world engineering examples. The text helps students develop an intuitive understanding of fluid mechanics by emphasizing the physics, using figures, numerous photographs and visual aids to reinforce the physics. The highly visual approach enhances the learning of fluid mechanics by students. This text distinguishes itself from others by the way the material is presented - in a progressive order from simple to more difficult, building each chapter upon foundations laid down in previous chapters. In this way, even the traditionally challenging aspects of fluid mechanics can be learned effectively.
McGraw-Hill's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty.
The number of pictures throughout the book has increased by a significant amount.
New subsections "Uniform versus Non-Uniform Flow" and "Equation Solvers" have been added to Chapter 1. Two new sections, "Flying Birds and Insects" by guest author Azar Eslam Panah of Penn State Berkley and "CFD Methods for Two-Phase Flows" by guest author Alex Rattner of Penn State have been added to Chapter 11 and Chapter 15.
In Chapter 8, we now highlight the explicit Churchill equation as an alternative to the implicit Colebrook equation.
Two new Application Spotlights, "Smelling Food; the Human Airway" by Rui Ni of Penn State and "Multicolor Particle Shadow Velocimetry/Accelerometry" by Michael McPhail and Michael Krane of Penn State have been added to Chapter 4 and Chapter 8.
A large number of the end-of-chapter problems in the text have been modified and many problems were replaced by new ones. Also, several of the solved example problems have been replaced.
McGraw-Hill Education Connect is a digital teaching and learning environment that improves performance over a variety of critical outcomes; it is easy to use; and it is proven effective.
Available within McGraw-Hill Educations Connect, SmartBook makes study time as productive and efficient as possible. It identifies and closes knowledge gaps through a continually adapting reading experience that provides personalized learning resources at the precise moment of need. This ensures that every minute spent with SmartBook is returned to the student as the most value-added minute possible. The result? More confidence, better grades, and greater success.
Full Color Presentation makes the figures come to life and improves the learning experience! Full color representation of figures and photos makes explanations clearer and enhances understanding!
Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam Prep Questions are special end-of-chapter problems to help students prepare to take the Professional Engineering exams. They cover material required for these exams in a form that is similar to those questions on the test.
COSMOS (the Complete Online Solutions Manual Organization System) is available with Fluid Mechanics, for instructors only. COSMOS makes it easy to select exercises and build assignments that can be distributed online or in print. Instructors can also edit existing problems or add their own. To learn more about the system and/or register, visit cosmos.mhhe.com.
Cengels Visual and Realistic Approach helps students visualize and understand real-life phenomena before delving into theory and mathematics. Students see photographs and figures representing real-life circumstances with explanations of the underlying theory and problem-solving methods that help them better learn and retain the content of the course.
