Description
The seventh edition of White's Fluid Mechanics offers students a clear and comprehensive presentation of the material that demonstrates the progression from physical concepts to engineering applications and helps students quickly see the practical importance of fluid mechanics fundamentals. The wide variety of topics gives instructors many options for their course and is a useful resource to students long after graduation.
The book's unique problem-solving approach is presented at the start of the book and carefully integrated in all examples. Students can progress from general ones to those involving design, multiple steps and computer usage.

Person
Frank M White
is Professor Emeritus of
Mechanical and Ocean Engineering at the
University of Rhode Island. He
studied at Georgia Tech and M.I.T. In 1966 he helped
found, at URI, the first
department of ocean engineering in the country. Known
primarily as a teacher and
writer, he has received eight teaching awards and has written
four textbooks on fluid
mechanics and heat transfer.
From 1979 to 1990 he was
editor-in-chief of the ASME Journal of Fluids
Engineering
and then served from 1991 to 1997
as chairman of the ASME Board
of Editors and of the Publications
