1: Decent
Processing and Shipping took a long time. Got it on the last day before I was suppose to contact Amazon about the product not showing up
|
2: Fluid Mechanics 6th edition by Frank M. White
Lots of good problems but lacks enough explanations in some cases, and only decent derivations for equations.

3: Worst book I ever bought
I am currently taking Fluid Mechanics in pursuit of a ME degree. The teacher suddenly decided to switch to this book after previous teachers used the cengel book. When the semester is over, I will be selling back this one and i will buy the cengel book. The tables are hard to find in the back, the cengel book makes it easier to find them. The inside covers are the most valuable pages for conversions..etc, this book does not use them at all, All of the chapters do not directly explain any concepts, or give any examples worth going through...overall very bad book, do not buy it unless you have to

4: Excellent Book
This book is one of the most stimulating books on fluid mechanics that I have come across. It is very carefully written and well organized. The physics behind the phenomena are vividly explained. The subject is, mathematically not difficul. Excellent problems at the end of each chapter.

5: Decent Book
This book represents my first foray into fluid mechanics. I don't really read my textbooks too much--in general I find them boring and hard to learn from--but I have done the many of the problems from the first few chapters. While the problems are good and there are a lot of them in each chapter, for the most part they are formulaic and repetative. While this is good for learning the material at first, it does get tedious after a while. For the purposes of a class like the one I'm in, this textbook does well, although I think I would need better if I were attempting to learn this material on my own.
