Process Fluid Mechanics (Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical...
The publisher, Prentice-Hall ECS Professional An applications-oriented introduction to process fluid mechanics. Provides an orderly treatment of the essentials of both the macro and micro problems of fluid mechanics. Reader Reviews Denn's text is much shorter than most introductions to fluid mechanics, but he seems to have left out all of the material that would make the topic interesting and accessible to the novice. The topics are well-ordered and have a logical progression, but almost all of the explanatory matter is missing. It is extremely difficult to get a conceptual understanding of fluid dynamics by looking at page after page of variable manipulation. In addition, the index is so incomplete as to be useless; most of the terms one would look up are not listed, or point only to the page where it was cursorily defined. That said, this book can be salvaged for a class by a professor who is skilled at conveying concepts (rather than just equations.) I also suspect this book would be useful as a reference for those who have already learned the fundamental material. However, I recommend that the novice look elsewhere for a satisfactory introduction to fluid mechanics. Comment | | (Report this)
