FLUID MECHANICS AND MACHINERY

DEFINITION:

                                   Fluid mechanics is the branch of science that deals with the behavior of fluids at rest as well as in motion. Thus,it deals with the static, kinematics and dynamic aspects of fluids. The study of fluids at rest is called fluid statics.
