✦ Synopsis

Price, $5.00. Two members of the faculty of the Massachusetts I'nstitute of Technology have written this introductory textbook on fluid mechanics, based on some twelve years of experience in teaching an undergraduate course in the subject. Emphasis has been placed on an adequate understanding of flow phenomena rather than familiarity with many practical devices.

The first part of the volume considers the more general principles of fluid mechanics, while the second part treats of the theory in particular applications. Among the topics discussed in this latter section are wing theory, lubrication, both hydrodynamic and boundary hydraulic turbines, pumps, propellers, fluid coupling and torque converters. Because of the importance of models in cases of confused type of flow, the authors have treated the theory of dimensions and physical similitude at some length. A selected bibliography is appended to most chapters and the problems have been gathered together in one section at the end of the volume.
