Numerical examples for each of the equations derived; Solved problems to highlight whole spectrum of applications; Objective questions for self evaluation; Graded problems for exercises, mostly with answers

This book is intended for use in undergraduate courses of civil, mechanical and chemical engineering; the SI system of units is adopted throughout. In order to give extensive practice in the application of various concepts, the following format is used in all the chapters. Enunciation of basic concepts; Development of physical and mathematical models with interspersed numerical examples; Illustrative examples involving the application and extension of the models developed; Objective questions and exercise problems
