Chapter 5: Fluids Engineering

"In this chapter, we introduce the subject of fluids engineering and its role in applications as diverse as aerodynamics, biomedical engineering, piping systems, microfluidics, and sports engineering. The study of fluids, which are classified as either liquids or gases, is further broken down into the areas of fluid statics and dynamics. Mechanical engineers apply the principles of fluid statics to calculate the pressure and buoyancy forces of fluids acting on stationary objects, including ships, tanks, and dams. Fluid dynamics refers to the behavior of liquids or gases when they are moving or when an object is moving through an otherwise stationary fluid."
