The book presents in an exhaustive, lucid, unified and a cohesive manner the basic concepts of (incompressible) fluid flow viz fluid properties, Fluid-statics, kinematics and dynamics, Dimensional considerations, Flow through pipes and reservoir problems (one, two and three), Transmission through pipe lines, siphons and nozzles, Flow measurement, Basic equations, Laminar flow, Boundary Layer analysis and Turbulent flow. Emphasis has been laid on the application of the basic principles and concepts of Fluid Mechanics in solving fluid flow problems encountered by the field engineer and to the effect illustrative examples have been comprehensively introduced to enhance the readers understanding of the subject.

Simple and concise level of presentation using S. I. units has been employed in the derivation of theoretical equations, solution of numerical problems and explanation of complex theories, principles and equations formulating the text.
