Applied Fluid Mechanics by Robert L. Mott is a practical, applications-oriented textbook that introduces the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and their use in real-world engineering systems. It explores fluid properties, pressure measurement, fluid statics, buoyancy, fluid flow, Bernoulli’s equation, energy losses, and the behaviour of liquids and gases in pipes and other conduits. The book also covers pump selection, open-channel flow, fluid forces, drag and lift, and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Combining theoretical concepts with practical engineering applications and problem-solving techniques, it is an essential resource for students and professionals in mechanical, civil, chemical and manufacturing engineering.
