Book excerpt: Introduction to Practical Fluid Flow provides information on the the solution of practical fluid flow and fluid transportation problems through the application of fluid dynamics. Emphasising the solution of practical operating and design problems, the text concentrates on computer-based methods throughout, in keeping with trends in engineering. With a focus on the flow of slurries and non-Newtonian fluids, it will be useful for and engineering students who have to deal with practical fluid flow problems. Emphasises flow of slurries and Non-Newtonian fluids.Covers the application of fluid dynamics to the solution of practical fluid flow and fluid transportation problems.
