| Summary |
"Mechanical engineers involved with flow mechanics have long needed an authoritative reference that delves into all the essentials required for experimentation in fluids, a resource that can discuss the principles as well as the details necessary for experimentation on everything from household appliances to hi-tech rockets." "Instrumentation, Measurements, and Experiments in Fluids meets this challenge, as its author, a highly respected pioneer in fluids, also possesses 20 years experience with teaching students of all levels. Reflecting an awe for flow mechanics, along with a deep-rooted knowledge of the subject, the author has assembled a volume that is destined to become a seminal work in the field. Providing ample detail for sell study and the sort of elegant writing rarely found in so thorough a treatise, he provides insight into all the vital topics and issues associated with the devices and instruments used for fluid mechanics and gas dynamics experiments."--Jacket |
