2 stars (Not enough examples) - I am a an engineering student with a gpa of 3.93 (73 hours). I have found this to be one of the least helpfull books I have ever used. The examples worked are at such a low complexity level, that they do almost no good for solving the problems at the end of the chapters. There are entire concepts that are missing explanation and you can only hope that you will have a good enough proffesor to explain during lecture. I do not have that luxury, mine will only go over the illustrated examples in the book. 5 stars (good FPC book) - Good book to start leaning abt fliud powe 5 stars (New Edition) - Where is the new edition? It is already out but you don`t have it ...

5 stars (A very good book for students) - This book is very good for undergraduate students. It introduces a lot of about basic fluid mechanics knowledge. I once bought this book by using a coupon from couponsky.com and saved some money. The book tell you every basic aspect in fluid mechanics. For a beginner, it is one book worthy to buy. 2 stars (Dont rely only on this book) - If you are cursed with a poor professor and are forced to use the book to teach yourself the material, you will be sorely dissapointed. First of all, the book is extremely wordy and very complicated to understand. You are given a ton of equations when they talk about a topic but you almost always find no use for the majority of them. I find the later chaptersespecially to be all math oriented and I found fewer and fewer real world problems to help study for the exams which had real world questions. In general, I was very dissapointed with the book. The study guide that accompanes the book is actually fairly decent and succint if not too short and they sometimes dont show important equations 5 stars (Excellent for the student of Mechanical Engineering) - This book is excellent for the engineering student. I recommend it for the beginning student of fluid mechanics or for the advanced student wishing to refresh his/her knowledge of fluid mechanics. The collaborative effort by the authors produce a beautifully explained text. The material is clear and concise and the additional software included with the book is of great use for illustrating important concepts. ...
