Fluid Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications Description
Cengel and Cimbala's Fluid Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications, communicates directly with tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner. The text covers the basic principles and equations of fluid mechanics in the context of numerous and diverse real-world engineering examples. The text helps students develop an intuitive understanding of fluid mechanics by emphasizing the physics, using figures, numerous photographs and visual aids to reinforce the physics. The highly visual approach enhances the learning of Fluid mechanics by students. This text distinguishes itself from others by the way the material is presented - in a progressive order from simple to more difficult, building each chapter upon foundations laid down in previous chapters. In this way, even the traditionally challenging aspects of fluid mechanics can be learned effectively. McGraw-Hill is also proud to offer ConnectPlus powered by Maple with the third edition of Cengel/Cimbabla, Fluid Mechanics. This innovative and powerful new system that helps your students learn more easily and gives you the ability to customize your homework problems and assign them simply and easily to your students. Problems are graded automatically, and the results are recorded immediately. Natural Math Notation allows for answer entry in many different forms, and the system allows for easy customization and authoring of exercises by the instructor.

A brand new book, delivered in time and just what I expected.
Hoping not to have any issues with the return, so far everything is perfect!!
By Raquel de la Garza
I am an aerospace engineering college student, and this book is worth more than its weight in gold.
I have had the unfortunate/fortune chance of learning this subject with several comparable books by other authors [Fox, White, Munson, Elger, Kundu, etc.], and while I won't point fingers in labeling something bad or good as the subject can be difficult to grasp for some people (such as myself), each had their strong and weak points in the various aspects of fluid mechanics.
Having taken aerodynamics class back then, I found myself often initially deferring to the Cengel & Cimbala book as a great help in course refresher and referencing back key concepts simply because their book was easier to digest/follow the explanations and most of the examples. However, that book was their 2nd edition.
Needing this newer edition for a different class as per syllabus requirement, this updated version biggest improvement is that the text, page formatting, and figures are much richer in color. The 2nd edition had this somewhat monotonous blue theme, but this one looks nicer (easier on the eyes) and will catch and retain your attention in reading it even if the information is nearly the same with various new figures and more examples compared to the older version. Perfect. Almost worth the (forced) upgrade..
If cost is a secondary factor, I recommend this book to anyone taking and learning fluid mechanics their first time.
