Book Description:

Work more effectively and check solutions as you go along with the text! This Student Solutions Manual and Study Guide is designed to accompany Munson, Young and Okishi’s Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, 5th Edition. This student supplement includes essential points of the text, “Cautions” to alert you to common mistakes, 109 additional example problems with solutions, and complete solutions for the Review Problems.

Master fluid mechanics with the #1 text in the field!
Effective pedagogy, everyday examples, an outstanding collection of practical problems––these are just a few reasons why Munson, Young, and Okiishi’s Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics is the best-selling fluid mechanics text on the market. In each new edition, the authors have refined their primary goal of helping you develop the skills and confidence you need to master the art of solving fluid mechanics problems.

This new Fifth Edition includes many new problems, revised and updated examples, new Fluids in the News case study examples, new introductory material about computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and the availability of FlowLab for solving simple CFD problems.

Big Joke

Beware! This book is no serious science book, it's no more than a paper-incarnation of a big poor joke..
Unfortunately, it's the textbook being used in my fluid dynamics class and I had to buy this one. But if you have a choice, pick "Fluid Mechanics, Third Edition (Hardcover) by Ira M. Cohen (Author), Pijush K. Kundu (Author)"! It is easily understandable and nice to read and covers all important concepts and equations in a reasonable form!!

In contrast, this book by Bruce R. Munson does not even derive the heart of fluid dynamics, the Navier Stokes equation in general (just a washed down version in one coordinate system, written in components), nor does it derive the Bernoulli equation in an appropriate way to emphasize the restrictions and applicability.. Also, almost every equation is given in components, not utilizing vector (or tensor) notation... This hides the beauty and natural look of the equations and makes it just worse to read..

Overall, this is a really bad book, stay away from it!

Review:

The most incomplete engineering book ever.

It's a good book it just askes me as a student to assume too much. Some of the problems at the end of the chapters are incomplete.

If i was to go about my life as a ME assuming random stuff i would get sued to a point of non-existance. This book does not teach good engineering practices.

Review:

Excellent for starters in fluid mechanics engineering.

I bought the book by mistake since I was looking for a more physical introduction to fluid mechanics. However, once I started reading, I could not stop. The book is a pleasure to read. Every concept is explained crystal clear. No single step is skipped. Almost every concept is illustrated with one or more very detailed solved examples. It is frequent in most technical books to find how the level of clarity degrades progressively as you approach the end of the book. This is not the case. Every chapter up to the very end is carefully arranged and the level is maintained.

The book requires very little physical background since every topic starts from the very begging. The huge number of topics covered and easy reading makes it ideal for undergraduate students. The accompanying CD provides a browsable e-version of the book, more problems, some advanced topics and an extensive list of videos illustrating the book material.

The book follows a full engineering and practical approach. If what you are looking for is a more theoretical work or a more strict physical approach, you will better look somewhere else.

A very good book for students

This book is very good for undergraduate students. It introduces a lot of about basic fluid mechanics knowledge. I once bought this book by using a coupon from couponsky.com and saved some money. The book tell you every basic aspect in fluid mechanics. For a beginner, it is one book worthy to buy.

Review:

Dont rely only on this book

If you are cursed with a poor professor and are forced to use the book to teach yourself the material, you will be sorely dissapointed. First of all, the book is extremely wordy and very complicated to understand. You are given a ton of equations when they talk about a topic but you almost always find no use for the majority of them. I find the later chaptersespecially to be all math oriented and I found fewer and fewer real world problems to help study for the exams which had real world questions. In general, I was very dissapointed with the book.

The study guide that accompanes the book is actually fairly decent and succint if not too short and they sometimes dont show important equations
