In this brand new text, fluid dynamics concepts are introduced using a general perspective based on the universality of the conservation laws. The text stresses the use of mathematical analysis, experimental and computer modeling in solving problems. In this way students are introduced to various methods of engineering analysis. This text presents a systematic and methods-based strategy to product development. Easy to follow explanations permit effective improvement of products.
Authors explain underlying assumptions and limits to design methods.
Discusses foundation material of product design, including a philosophy for learning and implementing product design. Each chapter includes both basic and advanced techniques for particular phases of product development.
