"As technology and the world around us continue to evolve quickly, scientists and engineers are increasingly focused on how to make the most of natural resources like water and gas. This is where Fluid Dynamics comes in- it's a branch of physics that deals with the movement of fluids, including gases and liquids. To understand this movement, Fluid Dynamics looks at factors like speed, pressure, density, and temperature.
This book focuses specifically on how Fluid Dynamics can be applied to fluid machines. This includes things like pumps, turbines, and engines that use fluids to power their movement. By studying how fluids behave in these machines, researchers and engineers can find ways to optimize their performance and make them more efficient"-- Back cover.
