This valuable new book provides a broad understanding of the main computational techniques used for processing reclamation of fluid and solid mechanics. The aim of these computational techniques is to reduce and eliminate the risk of mechanical systems in hydraulic machines. Using many computational methods for mechanical engineering problems, the book presents not only a platform for solving problems but also provides a wealth of information to address various technical aspects of troubleshooting of mechanical system failure.
Suitable for classroom use, the book lends itself to courses focusing on experimental approaches in fluid mechanics. The informal, student-oriented style is retained and has the flavor of an interactive lecture by the authors. The focus of the book is on practical and realistic fluids engineering experiences. A number of photographs and figures are included, especially to illustrate new design applications and new instruments.
At the end of each chapter, there are comprehensive problems that cover a broad range of concepts, often from several different chapters. These comprehensive problems grow and recur throughout the book as new concepts arise. Also included is a special Engineering Equation Solver (EES), which is keyed to many fluids engineering experiences throughout the book.
