DESCRIPTION:
Vintage engineering reference book. Elementary Fluid Mechanics, 1949 2nd Edition, by John Vennard. Hardcover with 339 pages, published by John Wiley & Sons.
"Probably not the best for an Elementary Fluids course" according to A Customer. The title of this book is misleading--there is nothing elementary in this book. Flipping through this book one will probably become intimidated by sheer volume of "difficult math". This book might be of great help in a graduate level Fluid Mechanics course, but the definitions, derivations, and concepts in general are too difficult for an undergraduate. If you have a good instructor, he or she will probably be able to simplify things for you, otherwise the book will teach you nothing. Many of the problems/examples, however, seem to be simple enough and can be solved using simple equations, so one wonders why the text goes in to so much detail. I've Kept It Was easy to understand, I've held onto it (even though it's not the field I practice in), which I think is a great sign when textbooks cost as much as they do!. A Customer said generally good. this is a generally good book. of course, but as textbooks go, this is worth it. the material is as clear as can be, so that makes it a little easier to deal with an otherwise tough subject.
