DESCRIPTION:
Not worth it. I took my undergrad fluid mechanics course using Crowe's lightweight doorstop. I took the course from Dr. Crowe himself. He certainly knows his fluid mechanics but if you go by his course and this book then he does not seem the least bit interested in handing down his knowledge to his students. At the time, about 2 years ago I gave this a 3/5 rating based upon my own naive assumption that I had a solid undergraduate background in fluid mechanics thanks to diligently studying and reading everything in this text. But it really took a graduate level fluids co. Errors Lord Rigolsby This book (8th Edition) is full of errors and typos. It wasn't terrible as a class text when the prof could put it in context, and the explanations and illustrations are fine, but using it now as a reference is difficult at best. Many of the examples have numerical errors. Lots of misprints where greek letters become roman letters and vice versa in the course of deriving equations. Unacceptable for a mechanics textbook.
From the Back Cover Known for its exceptionally readable approach, Crowe, Elger, and Roberson's Engineering Fluid Mechanics carefully guides readers from fundamental fluid mechanics concepts to real-world engineering applications. With Fluid Mechanics Solutions by JustAsk!, you'll save valuable time in you studies and build strong problem-solving skills.Fluid Mechanics Solutions by JustAsk! gives you:Detailed hints, worked solutions, and answers for selected problems in Engineering Fluid Mechanics, Eighth Edition.. The Eighth Edition of this student-friendly text fosters a strong conceptual understanding of fluid flow phenomena through lucid physical descriptions, photographs, clear illustrations, and fully w
Appropriate coverageof mathematics: The text’s treatment of mathematics is consistent with the capability of the typical undergraduate student. This concept is made more visual and comprehensible to the student. More advanced mathematical formulations are available in the text for use at the instructor’s discretion.. For example, the concept of irrotationality and the Bernoulli equation in irrotational flow is presented with a minimum use of partial differential equations
