This handbook provides a summary of theoretical, experimental, and statistical data on fluid flows. The text makes extensive use of tables and graphics so that engineers, students, and researchers can rapidly locate accurate and up-to-date data. The emphasis is on applied fluid dynamics, in particular practical problems such as fluid dynamic drag, pipe and duct flow, and nozzles and diffusers, which have direct practical applications. Original Edition 1984, Reprint Edition 2003.

An Indispensible Handbook for Fluids Engineers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Applied Fluid Dynamics Handbook (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent and exhaustive treatment of the engineering aspects of fluid flow in pipes, through components, and in open channel situations, not to mention nearly every other situation that a mechanical engineer might encounter. As an engineer with fluids and thermal system design experience, I highly recommend this work to anyone in this field. Especially useful are the exhaustive tables of K - values for nearly every imaginable component, including partially open valves, screens, and almost every imaginable type of pipe. This book is well worth the price.

A Practical Guide to Fluid Systems Engineering,
This review is from: Applied Fluid Dynamics Handbook (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent resource for Fluid Dynamics Engineering. It is a very down to earth and practical guide to designing fluid systems. This is a "must have" if you are in this line of work.Best Regards Engineering Technical Advisor

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very practical fluids engineering guide,
By Rex Barker (Boston Mass) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Applied Fluid Dynamics Handbook (Hardcover)
Book was well worth the money. Compariable in price to any academic text. I bought it new, which is a reprint of the classic Blevins text. It doesn't come with any dust cover. I was looking for pipe & fitting loss calculations, which it goes over extensively. Serves as a good guide for actual engineering, since it contains a good balance of theory, design guidelines, and applied data from experimentation on most fluid mechanics type problems.
