About this ebook

The 8th Edition of Applied Fluid Mechanics by Robert L. Mott and Joseph A. Untener covers foundational fluid properties, fluid statics, pipe flow dynamics, system design, and specialized flow applications. [1]

The book is structured into 19 distinct chapters grouped by core thematic areas: [1]

1. Fluid Fundamentals & Properties

Chapter 1: The Nature of Fluids and the Study of Fluid Mechanics – Introduction to fluid behavior, mass and weight relationships, and unit systems.
Chapter 2: Viscosity of Fluids – Dynamic and kinematic viscosity, Newtonian vs. non-Newtonian fluids, and measurement techniques. [1, 2, 3]

2. Fluid Statics

Chapter 3: Pressure Measurement – Absolute, gauge, and atmospheric pressure relationships, barometers, and manometers.
Chapter 4: Forces Due to Static Fluids – Calculating resultant horizontal and vertical forces on submerged flat and curved walls.
Chapter 5: Buoyancy and Stability – Buoyant force calculation, Archimedes' principle, and stability criteria for floating or submerged bodies. [1, 2, 3]

3. Fluid Dynamics & Flow Principles

Chapter 6: Flow of Fluids and Bernoulli's Equation – Volume, mass, and weight flow rates, continuity equation, Bernoulli’s theorem, and Torricelli's theorem. [1, 2]
Chapter 7: General Energy Equation – Modifying Bernoulli's equation to account for energy losses, pump power additions, and fluid motor extractions. [1, 2]
Chapter 8: Reynolds Number, Laminar Flow, Turbulent Flow, and Energy Losses Due to Friction – Determining flow regimes, Darcy’s equation, and friction factors using the Moody diagram. [1]
Chapter 9: Velocity Profiles for Circular Sections and Flow in Noncircular Sections – Fluid velocity distributions and calculating hydraulic radius for non-circular ducts. [1]
Chapter 10: Minor Losses – Energy losses caused by valves, fittings, bends, and sudden pipe contractions or expansions. [1]

4. Piping Systems & Machinery Design

Chapter 11: Series Pipeline Systems – System analysis and design optimization for pipes connected end-to-end.
Chapter 12: Parallel and Branching Pipeline Systems – Analyzing complex networks where flow splits into multiple paths.
Chapter 13: Pump Selection and Application – Operating parameters, Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH), and using performance curves to select centrifugal pumps. [1, 2, 3]

5. Specialized Flow Applications

Chapter 14: Open-Channel Flow – Flow behavior in uncovered channels, uniform flow equations (Manning's), and hydraulic jumps.
Chapter 15: Flow Measurement – Instruments for tracking flow rate, including Venturi meters, orifice plates, rotameters, and pitot tubes.
Chapter 16: Forces Due to Fluids in Motion – Applying momentum equations to determine dynamic forces on stationary and moving deflector vanes or pipe bends.
Chapter 17: Drag and Lift – External flow aerodynamics, pressure drag, friction drag, and lift generation on objects traveling through fluids.
Chapter 18: Fans, Blowers, Compressors, and the Flow of Gases – Introducing gas flow dynamics, static and total pressure in air systems, and gas machinery.
Chapter 19: Compressible Flow – Isentropic flow properties, sonic velocity, Mach numbers, and gas behavior through convergent/divergent nozzles. [1, 2]
