Fluid Engineering with applications

This book deals with the material of the course Fluid Mechanics with the main purpose of presenting and developing the basic theory of the course as well as its application in solving problems and applications. The way of presenting the material is done by combining the theoretical with the applied side of Fluid Mechanics and this is reflected in the title of the book. The need for such a presentation of the material is necessary because it has been found that in a different way the each student the same subject. For the above reasons, the writing of this book was guided by the students to get acquainted with the basic knowledge and principles of Fluid Mechanics, to obtain the appropriate theoretical background and the possibility of its application in practical and experimental level.
In more detail, in this book the material is covered in the following chapters:

• Introductory concepts and a brief historical background of fluid mechanics
• Basic properties of fluids
• Fluid statics
• Fluid kinematics
• Continuity equation and flow function
• Kinematics of ideal fluids
• Real fluid kinematics
• Flows in pipelines
• Boundary layer theory

For a better understanding of the material covered in this book, there are detailed examples at the end of each chapter that help the student understand the theory. The solved examples follow unsolved exercises. Finally, in almost every chapter there are representative
experiments based on the corresponding theoretical knowledge. In this way the student is covered by the provision of very theoretical knowledge that results in completely practical applications.
