Preface

This book has grown out of some 12 years' experience with a course in fluid mechanics for an undergraduate class in the mechanical engineering department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The controlling importance of flow phenomena in nearly every type of machine and process led to the conversion of a traditional course in hydraulics into a more fundamental treatment of the action of fluids generally. The authors were more anxious that the student understand flow phenomena that he be familiar with details of many practical devices. They attempted to give unity to the subject by the careful development, at an adult level, of the mechanics of fluids and to provide interest and utility by condensed treatment of selected types of engineering application.
