  Any books with regards to fluid mechanics?

  Fluid Mechanics by R.K. Bansal.
  
  
  
  Try this...😉

  Thank you rvsavan68! Does it cover the dynamics part efficiently too?

  For Fluid mechanics a very good book to have detailed understanding of the subject is Fluid Mechanics by Cengel & Cimbala. For examination purposes Rk Bansal is appropriate. Another book for examination purpose is Fluid Mechanics by Som & Biswas. It contains problems of higher level than Rk bansal.
  
  For thermodynamics, I never found a good book. 😉 But I have heard that Cengel & Boles is good although I've never read it.

  Actually i am planning to buy one of these books. Reading on the computer is getting strenuous.
  Thank you viky1147.

  rkvasan68, the days of free knowledge are numbered. 👀
  And anyway, don't post it here. It's against our forum rules.

  Is Jagdish Lal's book "Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics with Computer Applications" good?
• 

  ashish sharma

  ya that might be good.

  ya that might be good.

  Thanks crazy2390., now i'll start reading one of these.

  If you are still interested, do not touch a single book by any Indian author on any of these topics. I've seen em all, the bansals and the ganeshans, and they all suck. Not an overstatement.
  
  For Fluid Mechanics, I always suggest Cengel and Cimbala, since you are a beginner (I assume). You'll probably be offered an India-friendly edition, "adapted" by some Bhattacharaya. Avoid that.
  
  As for heat and mass transfer, you are actually looking for Transfer Phenomena. I suggest a Purdue University book, "Heat and Mass Transfer" by Incropera and Dewitt. Another one is by Lienhard and Lienhard of MIT.
  
  As for Thermodynamics, the topic is simply too vast, and overlaps with every other sub-branch of mechanical engineering. I suggest "Introduction to Thermodynamics with Applications" which seems like it is white paper or a theses. Its full text is available on Scribd. I could not find any author; although you are welcome to try.

  For Fluid mechanics R. K. Bansal is best.
  For thermo R. K. Rajput is good for numerical purpose and Cenjel & Boles is best as per theorotical & conceptual concern

  R.S khurmi is indeed a good author for thermal engineering. the content provided in it is easy to understand

  Cengel it is! I am not exactly a beginner. (I can't legally call myself that after completing four years of engineering.)
  When i studied Fluid Mechanics, i could hardly find one book that suited the way i learnt things. I realised i wasn't the only one facing problem with that. So, I just wanted to amass all the good books on Fluids and Heat transfer into a single list so that it is easier for the actual "beginner".
  
  Thanks for the recommendation.
