Basic concepts of fluids and fluid flow are essential in all engineering disciplines to get better understanding of the courses in the professional programmes, and obviously its importance as a core subject need not be overemphasised.

Pearson introduces yet another textbook from Professor R. C. Hibbeler - Fluid Mechanics in SI Units - which continues the author's commitment to empower students to master the subject.

For Fluid Mechanics courses found in Civil and Environmental, General Engineering, and Engineering Technology and Industrial Management departments. Fluid Mechanics is intended to provide a comprehensive guide to a full understanding of the theory and many applications of fluid mechanics. The text features many of the hallmark pedagogical aids unique to Hibbeler texts, including its student-friendly, clear organisation. The text supports the development of student problem-solving skills through a large variety of problems, representing a broad range of engineering disciplines that stress practical, realistic situations encountered in professional practice, and provide varying levels of difficulty. The text offers flexibility in that basic principles are covered in chapters 1-6, and the remaining chapters can be covered in any sequence without the loss of continuity. Updates to the 2nd Edition result from comments and suggestions from colleagues, reviewers in the teaching profession, and many of the author's students, and include expanded topic coverage and new Example and Fundamental Problems intended to further students' understanding of the theory and its applications.

For courses in fluid mechanics. Introduces engineering students to the principles of fluid mechanics. Written and conceived by an author with decades of relevant experience in the fields of fluid mechanics, engineering, and related disciplines, this First Edition of Fluid Mechanics for Engineers effectively introduces engineering students to the principles of fluid mechanics. With the understanding that fluid mechanics is a required core course for most engineering students, the author focuses first and foremost on the most essential topics of the field. Practical applications for several engineering disciplines are considered, with a special focus on civil engineering. Elective topics are also included for instructors' consideration with regard to specific courses. Written in a stimulating style, Fluid Mechanics for Engineers fulfills the requirements of a core course while keeping students engaged. Pearson Mastering Engineering(tm) not included. Students, if Pearson Mastering Engineering is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. Pearson Mastering Engineering should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information. Pearson Mastering Engineering is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Interactive, self-paced tutorials provide individualized coaching to help students stay on track. With a wide range of activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts.
