Written by a noted authority in the subject area, this book is a comprehensive study of the theory and the practical applications of fluid properties to numerous disciplines. It may be used as a reference in a variety of fields by scientists and engineers or as a text in senior-undergraduate or graduate-level courses. The book covers standard topics e.g., motion of a conducting fluid in a magnetic field, Brownian motion, charged particle motion, surface waves on a liquid, the kinetic theory of gases, and plasma physics. Many applications from aeronautics, acoustics, chemistry, mechanics, electricity, and others have been included to illustrate the mathematical and physical concepts.
