This volume is an information-packed reference for engineers on flow measuring techniques and instruments. Striking a balance between laboratory ideal and the realities of field experience, this handy tool provides a wealth of practical advice on the design, operation, and performance of a broad range of flowmeters. The book begins with a brief review of fluid mechanics principles, how to select a flowmeter, and a variety of calibration methods. Each of the following chapters is devoted to a class of flowmeters and includes detailed information on design, applications, installation, calibration, operation, and advantages and disadvantages. Among the flowmeters discussed are orifice plate meters, venturi meter and standard nozzles, critical flow venturi nozzles, positive displacement flowmeters, turbine and related flowmeters, vortex shedding and fluidic flowmeters, electromagnetic flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, and coriolis flowmeters. Also covered are mass flow measurements using multiple sensors, thermal flowmeters, angular momentum devices, probes, and modern control systems. Many chapters conclude with an appendix on the theory behind the techniques discussed. It will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers and will also be of interest to researchers in mechanical, chemical and aerospace engineering.

Analytical Fluid Dynamics presents an advanced treatment of inviscid and laminar viscous compressible flows from a theoretical viewpoint. The book emphasizes basic assumptions, physical aspects of the flow, and the appropriate formulations of the governing equations for subsequent analytical treatment. Topics covered include basic concepts, inviscid flow, exact solutions for a viscous flow, and laminar boundary-layer theory for steady two-dimensional or axisymmetric flow. The book complements computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches and contains a definitive treatment of the second law of thermodynamics, (unsteady, three-dimensional) shock wave theory, hodograph theory, substitution principle, and first- and second-order boundary-layer theory. It will be a useful text for students and professionals in mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics, physics, aeronautics, and astronautics.

Examines the fundamental aspects of fluid motion including important fluid properties, regimes of flow, pressure variations in fluids at rest and in motion, methods of flow description and analysis. Expands on basic analysis techniques used to solve fluid mechanics problems, stressing how flow phenomena are described mathematically and on when and how to use infinitesimal and finite control volumes. More than 160 examples are presented, providing detailed solutions to a variety of problems. Generous sets of homework problems in every chapter emphasize practical applications of principles. Changes in the new edition include a new chapter on turbomachinery as well as additional open-ended homework problems and expanded problems using experimental data.

Few figures loom as large in the intellectual history of revolution and postcolonialism than Frantz Fanon. An intellectual who devoted his life to activism, he utilized his deep knowledge of psychology and philosophy in the service of the movement for democratic participation and political sovereignty in his native Martinique and around the world.   With FranzFanon, Peter Hudis presents a penetrating critical biography of the activist’s life and work. Countering the prevailing belief that Fanon’s contributions to modern thought can be wholly defined by an advocacy of violence, Hudis presents his work instead as an integrated whole, showing that its nuances—and thus its importance—can only be appreciated in light of Fanon’s efforts to fuse philosophical theory and actual practice. By taking seriously Fanon’s philosophical and psychological contributions, as well as his political activism, Hudis presents a powerful and perceptive new view of the man and his achievement.   This brief, richly perceptive introduction to Fanon will give new force to his ideas, his life, and his example for people engaged in radical political theory and taking action against oppression around the world today.  

Introduces the formulation of problems in fuild mechanics and dynamics, and shows how they can be analyzed and resolved using finite element methods. This practical book also discusses the equations of fluid mechanics and investigates the problems to which these equations can be applied, as well as how they can be analyzed and solved. Contains illustrations of computer simulations using the methods described in the book and features numerous illustrations.
