| Preface | The textbook on “Experiments in Fluid Mechanics” is latest on the subject covering all topics very precisely. It fully meets the syllabus of all Universities in Indian and Abroad including IIMs, IITs and other Prestigious Engineering Institutes Worldwide. While the text of each chapter covers the central idea of topic, illustrations in the text focus on the finer points. The students needs for examination are fully met with current trend of examination questions paper and each chapter written in a simple language and illustrative manner and arises the interest of the reader. This makes the job of student in imparting justice to the ‘Laboratory Experimentation Curriculum’ all the more arduous. |
