This text is intended for the study of fluid
mechanics at an intermediate level. However, the
presentation starts with basic ideas in order to
form a sound conceptual structure that can
support engineering applications and encourage
further learning. Subjects treated include
hydrostatics, viscous flow, similitude and order of
magnitude, creeping flow, potential flow, boundary
layer flow, turbulent flow, compressible flow, and
non-Newtonian fluids.

This book helps the engineer understand the
principles of metal forming and analyze forming
problems - both the mechanics of forming
processes and how the properties of metals
interact with the processes. In this third edition, an
entire chapter has been devoted to forming limit
diagrams and various aspects of stamping and
another on other sheet forming operations. Sheet
testing is covered in a separate chapter. Coverage
of sheet metal properties has been expanded.
Interesting end-of-chapter notes have been added
throughout, as well as references. More than 200
end-of-chapter problems are also included.

An Introduction to
Thermodynamics
and Statistical
Mechanics
2nd Edition
Keith Stowe

Polytechnic University,

This introductory textbook for standard
undergraduate courses in thermodynamics has
been completely rewritten. Starting with an
overview of important quantum behaviours, the
book teaches students how to calculate
probabilities, in order to provide a firm foundation
for later chapters. It introduces the ideas of
classical thermodynamics and explores them both
in general and as they are applied to specific
processes and interactions. The remainder of the
book deals with statistical mechanics - the study of
small systems interacting with huge reservoirs.
The changes to this second edition have been
made after more than 10 years classroom testing
and student feedback. Each topic ends with a
boxed summary of ideas and results, and every
chapter contains numerous homework problems,
covering a broad range of difficulties. Answers are
given to odd numbered problems, and solutions to
even problems are available to instructors at
www.cambridge.org/9780521865579.
