Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Sixth Edition, is intended to be used in a first course in Fluid Mechanics, taken by a range of engineering majors. The text begins with dimensions, units, and fluid properties, and continues with derivations of key equations used in the control-volume approach. Step-by-step examples focus on everyday situations, and applications. These include flow with friction through pipes and tubes, flow past various two and three dimensional objects, open channel flow, compressible flow, turbomachinery and experimental methods. Design projects give readers a sense of what they will encounter in industry. A solutions manual and figure slides are available for instructors.

William S. Janna received his BSME, MSME, and PhD from the University of Toledo, Ohio. He joined the Mechanical Engineering faculty of the University of New Orleans in 1976, where he became department chair, and served in that position for four years. Subsequently, he joined the University of Memphis in 1987 as chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He also served as associate dean for graduate studies and research in the Herff College of Engineering. Dr. Janna is the author of three textbooks, and has taught short courses for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
