The purpose of writing of this book was prompted by a desire to meet the requirements of an average undergraduate student in engineering. It is the outcome of the author’s association with the subject for the past four decades. While planning the course contents, the general requirements for civil, mechanical, aeronautical, chemical and electrical engineering students were kept in mind. In dealing with the various aspects of flow phenomena, efforts have been made to project a physical picture through description aided with illustrations. The main emphasis is thus on the physical aspect rather than rigorous mathematical treatment.
