Textbook covers aerodynamics, bridge design, and construction principles. Includes topics like aircraft glide path and car performance. Covers fluid forces, buoyancy, and projectile motion. Contains applications in navigation, satellite systems, and surveying
Textbook covers mass, force, units, density, and specific gravity concepts. Discusses vapor pressure, cavitation, and energy calculations. Explains viscosity and compressibility relationships
Static pressure is the total pressure in Bernoulli's equation. Pressure can be measured at every point in a fluid regardless of motion. Total pressure remains constant along streamline in irrotational flow. Static pressure is used to distinguish it from total and dynamic pressures
Fluid particles follow smooth paths in layers with minimal mixing. No cross-currents or eddies occur perpendicular to flow direction. Particles near solid surfaces move in straight lines parallel to surface. Characterized by high momentum diffusion and low momentum convection
Drag is a force opposing the relative motion of objects in fluid. Drag force depends on velocity and is proportional to velocity at low speeds. Drag force decreases fluid velocity relative to the object in its path
Lift coefficient (CL) relates lift to fluid density, velocity and reference area. CL depends on body angle, Reynolds and Mach numbers. Lift coefficient can be approximated using lifting-line theory
