 Good book. Aug 15, 2005
By alex s
This book was the assigned reading material for my engineering technology course. Its primary purpose was to give us an `introduction' to fluid related concepts, and in that area I would say it was very successful. This books writing style is extremely easy to follow, and unlike some of my other textbooks was actually enjoyable to read. It provided step by step instructions on how to solve problems, and also offered more than enough problems for the students to solve themselves. The only issue I have with this book relates to the rather limited examples it provides. In its solutions it illustrates how to solve the simple problems, but negates to do the more complicated ones which sometimes left me clueless on how to proceed. This book is also rather expansive and does not go very deep into the subject.. If your looking for a good introduction book for your course, or some extra learning material this is a great choice. If you're a more advanced reader, I suggest you look elsewhere.

 Best text I've had the pleasure to read, helpful examples May 16, 1999
I am the type of person who generally hates the way that texts are written. I have always said, that if I were to write a text, it would be this way. The whole class talks about this book, we love it at at the University here.

Bob Mott knows how to teach. Dec 27, 1999
This is a great text for technology based fluid mechanics. To elementary for an engineering student, but then it was meant for an engineering technology student. I find it easy to use. My students love it. There are few, if any, technology based fluid mechanics texts available of this caliber. I only wish it were less expensive.

Engineering books Dec 25, 2011
By RBS
Many reviewers will say that Mr. Mott's material is too basic for engineering students or actual engineers. The issue is that if you are a currently engineer, with few or a lot of years of experiencie, you'd probably already noted, that all concepts you learned with any book you used (advanced or basic), or any professor that taught you (good or bad), all converge directly to the same concepts that Mr. Mott explains so easy in his books (WATCH I USE PLURAL). What will make a difference is the undergraduate or postgraduate you are majoring in to say that a book works or not. For example is not the same a course of Heat Transfer for Mechanical Engineers than for Chemical Engineers, even if topics are the same, because the first ones get involved into the macro subjects while the second ones into the micro ones, and not all the books covered both topics at once. For mechanical or electromechanical engineers, this is a book you should have. I have 13 years of experience in the mechanical engineering field and I was taught in class with the Streeter's Fluid Mechanics book by a dutch professor that was in charged of Wind Power Engineering Machinery Design (all of those who know the Wind Power growth around the world, know that Holland is one of the countries ahead in this topic), and after analyzing in between Mott's book and Streeter's, there is just one difference: Mr. Mott knows how to put the concepts into written words.

Great Fluid Mechanics Review Jan 18, 2009
By Terrance R. Banach
"Terry the book addict"
This comprehensive text covereing fluid mechanics by Robert Mott is an excellent means to review basic fluid mechanics. The text, example solutions and diagrams are easy to follow in spite of not having examined the principles of fluid mechanics since the mid 60's. Mr Mott provides sufficiently detailed solutions and discussions.
