【簡介】 Thoroughly revised and expanded, the new edition of this established textbook equips readers with a robust and practical understanding of experimental fluid mechanics. Enhanced features include improved support for students with emphasis on pedagogical instruction and self-learning, end-of-chapter summaries, 127 examples, 165 problems and refined illustrations, plus new coverage of digital photography, frequency analysis of signals and force measurement. It describes comprehensively classical and modern methods for flow visualisation and measuring flow rate, pressure, velocity, temperature, concentration, forces and wall shear stress, alongside supporting material on system response, measurement uncertainty, signal analysis, data analysis, optics, laboratory apparatus and laboratory practice. Instructor resources include lecture slides, additional problems, laboratory support materials and online solutions. Ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying experimental fluid mechanics, this textbook is also suitable for an introductory measurements laboratory, and is a valuable resource for practising engineers and scientists in experimental fluid mechanics.

Steven Weinberg: A Life in Physics (1版)

類似書籍推薦給您

【簡介】 Steven Weinberg shares his candid thoughts, in his own words, on theoretical physics and cosmology, along with personal anecdotes and recollections of the people who helped shape his career. These memoirs of his life as a scientist and public figure cover his student days and early career, through the golden age of particle physics in the 1970s, his being awarded the Nobel prize, through to the end of the twentieth century. In addition to his research insights, Weinberg provides glimpses into his life in academia more broadly: dealing with the ’two-body problem’, tenure, international conference travel, his book-writing, advisory work with JASON, and his advocacy for the Superconducting Super Collider. Physicists, historians of science and interested readers will find the presentation engaging and often witty, as Weinberg reflects on his life in physics.

Computational Formalisms in Euclidean Geometry, Vol. I: A Trigonometric, Vectorial and Complex Numbers Approach (1版)

類似書籍推薦給您

【簡介】 This book explores three computational formalisms for solving geometric problems. Part I introduces a trigonometric-based formalism, enabling calculations of distances, angles, and areas using basic trigonometry. Part II focuses on complex numbers, representing points in the plane to manipulate geometric properties like collinearity and concurrency, making it particularly useful for planar problems and rotations. Part III covers vector formalism, applying linear algebra to both plane and solid geometry. Vectors are effective for solving problems related to perpendicularity, collinearity, and the calculation of distances, areas, and volumes.Each formalism has its strengths and limitations, with complex numbers excelling in the plane and vectors being more versatile in three-dimensional space. This book equips readers to choose the best approach for various geometric challenges.This book, designed for math majors, especially future educators, is also valuable for gifted high school students and educators seeking diverse proofs and teaching inspiration.
