Schaum's Outline of Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics, Fourth Edition
by: Ranald V. Giles, Jack B. Evett, Cheng Liu
Abstract: More than 40 million students have trusted Schaum's to help them succeed in the classroom and on exams. Schaum's is the key to faster learning and higher grades in every subject. Each Outline presents all the essential course information in an easy-to-follow, topic-by-topic format. You also get hundreds of examples, solved problems, and practice. This Schaum's Outline gives you 622 fully solved problems; extra practice on topics such as buoyancy and flotation, complex pipeline systems, fluid machinery, flow in open channels, etc; and support for all the major textbooks for fluid mechanics and hydraulics courses.
