With a novel approach that bridges theory and practice, this book uses a uniquely structured series of chapters and appendices to present the basic theory and equations of fluid flow with just the right amount of detail and discussion. Full derivations and explanations are relegated to chapter-specific appendices, making both aspects easier to access. The treatment is also organized to allow the more complex compressible flow theory and associated equations to build on the less complex. Anyone who must deal with industrial flow processes, equipment, or piping systems will find that this book effectively links theory to practice and builds the kind of insight they need to solve real-world problems.

Summary
Presents the basic theory and equations of fluid flow. This work addresses incompressible flow before compressible flow, allowing the more complex theory and associated equations to build on the less complex. It is suitable for those dealing with industrial flow processes, pumps, turbines, ejectors, or piping systems.
