Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics has a wide range of applications, including for mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, geophysics, astrophysics, and biology. Fluid mechanics can be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest; and fluid dynamics, the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. It is a branch of continuum mechanics, a subject which models matter without using the information that it is made out of atoms; that is, it models matter from a macroscopic viewpoint rather than from microscopic. Fluid mechanics, especially fluid dynamics, is an active field of research with many problems that are partly or wholly unsolved. Fluid mechanics can be mathematically complex, and can best be solved by numerical methods, typically using computers. A modern discipline, called computational fluid dynamics (CFD), is devoted to this approach to solving fluid mechanics problems. Particle image velocimetry, an experimental method for visualizing and analyzing fluid flow, also takes advantage of the highly visual nature of fluid flow.A detailed look at theory and applications necessary for fluid power engineering. This authoritative guide is essential for mechanical engineers who engage in the design and handling of fluid power equipment, which include both hydraulic and pneumatic power types of equipment Fluid Power Engineering helps you to build a solid theoretical background, which will enable further study and analysis of static and dynamic performance of different fluid power elements and systems. The book features end-of-chapter problems and problem-solving case studies, making it appropriate for graduate level mechanical engineering students.
