Introduction to Fluid Mechanics By: Robert W. Fox Alan T. McDonald Robert W Fox ISBN: 0471124648 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons - 1998-10 Hardcover | 5th Edition | 762 Pages | List Price: $117.90 (USD) | Sales Rank: 616530 Book Description This successful book presents the fundamentals of fluid mechanics clearly and succinctly. Knowledge of fluid flow is essential to industries involving heat transfer, chemical processes, and aerodynamics. The book makes use of a problem-solving methodology and includes outstanding example problems. Topics covered are flow fields; potential theory and boundary layer theory; Bernoulli's Equation, Dimensional Analysis. Book Info Provides a balanced approach to fluid mechanics that arms students with proven problem-solving methodology. Teaches how to develop an orderly plan to solve problems: to start from basic equations, state assumptions clearly, & relate results to expected physical behavior.

The above is the positive side. But in the negative respect: 1) This book doesn't have enough samples to help the students the grasp on the correct idea, maybe he should add an extra one or two samples into each applicable section of the chapters. (The author sometimes expect us to get all different types of problems by only explaining one type of problems, which left us in blank in approaching other types of problems.) 2) The author has a hard time formating the paragraphs to make it readable.(It is word heavy in some sections that makes me stop reading. In addition, it is too verbose in some parts, and it is not having enough detail in some other parts.) 3) The problem picturs and wording are often confusing. (He should clear up some of the pictures and word. ie. some pictures are supposed to have a nozzle, but it doesn't, some picture's dimension is supposed to be as same as the others, but it doesn't look like it. We have to make the correct kind of ASSUMPTIONS(mistakes/unclarity) in order the get the solution) 4)Not enough "cover page stuff", a lot of times i have to look for a certain convertion/constant in order to complete the problem. 5) WE are ASSUMED to know all the convertion from all the different kind of unit system. (ie. WHAT is degree R, and how do you convert it to degree C? How do you convert Btu to another system?)(He needs to have more explaination on that. That is the stuff i hate about this book so far.I think this book has some great materials, but he just need to present it better! By considering this is my first fluid book, i don't know what is in the others, so i'm not giving it a one instead
