Young, Munson and Okiishi's A Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics

By: John I. Hochstein,Andrew L. Gerhart

This book is designed to cover the standard topics in a basic fluid mechanics course in a streamlined manner that meets the learning needs of students better than the dense, encyclopedic format of traditional texts. This approach helps students connect math and theory to the physical world and apply these connections to solving problems. The text lucidly presents basic analysis techniques and addresses practical concerns and applications, such as pipe flow, open-channel flow, flow measurement, and drag and lift. It offers a strong visual approach with photos, illustrations, and videos included in the text, examples, and homework problems to emphasize the practical application of fluid mechanics principles.

Lost Delta Found

Rediscovering the Fisk University-Library of Congress Coahoma County Study, 1941-1942

By: John W. Work,Lewis Wade Jones,Samuel C. Adams

Blues Hall of Fame Inductee—Named a "Classic of Blues Literature" by the Blues Foundation, 2019 This remarkable book recovers three invaluable perspectives, long thought to have been lost, on the culture and music of the Mississippi Delta. In 1941 and ’42 African American schol-ars from Fisk University—among them the noted composer and musicologist John W. Work III, sociologist Lewis Wade Jones, and graduate student Samuel C. Adams Jr.—joined folklorist Alan Lomax of the Library of Congress on research trips to Coahoma County, Mississippi. Their mission was “to document adequately the cultural and social backgrounds for music in the community.” Among the fruits of the project were the earliest recordings by the legendary blues singer and guitarist Muddy Waters. The hallmark of the study was to have been a joint publication of its findings by Fisk and the Library of Congress. While this publication was never completed, Lost Delta Found is composed of the writings, interviews, notes, and musical transcriptions produced by Work, Jones, and Adams in the Coahoma County study. Their work captures, with compelling immediacy, a place, a people, a way of life, and a set of rich musical traditions as they existed in the 1940s. Illustrated with photos and more than 160 musical transcriptions.

Ain't No Whistle on This Here Train A'Blowin'

An African-American Trilogy

By: John W Work,John W. Work Iv

An African-American Trilogy features three distinct stories based on historical figures. The first, "My Name Is Ida B. Wells," describes the late 19th- and early 20th-century battles forged by the newspaperwoman against racial discrimination, and the growing scourge of lynching around the nation, and especially in Memphis, Tennessee. A young reporter idolizes Ida and seeks to emulate her. In fear of her life from an enraged white mob, Ida escapes her home just hours before a mob burns it to the ground. The second historical fiction story is "Tulsa, 1921: The Granddaddy of American Race Riots." Two of the colored millionaires in Tulsa, Oklahoma, O.W. Gurley and J.B. Stradford, were business competitors in real estate. They decided to partner in building the finest hotel in Tulsa. Never dreaming their plans would evoke animosity from the white community, the hotel plans were put on hold. A seemingly innocent incident involving an elevator ride shared by a colored man and a white woman set off the worst race riot in American history. "When Miss Anderson Sang at the Met" is the final story. Set in 1955, it tells of a young man who simply must hear the great Marian Anderson perform at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, marking the first time an African-American artist would perform at the Met. John W. Work IV, Ph.D., has been a university professor of economics, a corporate executive, and most recently was a senior principal in a New York City-based management consulting firm. He resides with his wife in New York City, where he is an author and professional futures trader. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/JohnWWorkIV

Fundamentals of Thermodynamics

By: John H. S. Lee,K. Ramamurthi

A concise treatment of the fundamentals of thermodynamics is presented in this book. In particular, emphasis is placed on discussions of the second law, a unique feature of thermodynamics, which states the limitations of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. The entropy function that permits the loss in the potential of a real thermodynamic process to be assessed, the maximum possible work in a process, and irreversibility and equilibrium are deduced from the law through physical and intuitive considerations. They are applicable in mitigating waste heat and are useful for solving energy, power, propulsion and climate-related issues. The treatment is not restricted to properties and functions of ideal gases. The ideal gas assumption is invoked as a limiting case. Reversible paths between equilibrium states are obtained using reversible heat engines and reversible heat pumps between environment and systems to determine the entropy changes and the maximum work. The conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium comprising mechanical, thermal, chemical and phase equilibrium are addressed and the species formed at equilibrium in a chemical reaction at a given temperature and pressure are obtained. The molecular basis for the laws of thermodynamics, temperature, internal energy changes, entropy, reversibility and equilibrium are briefly discussed. The book serves as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students alongside thermodynamics textbooks.

How to Master the BMAT

Unbeatable Preparation for Success in the BioMedical Admissions Test

By: Chris John Tyreman

The BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Tests) is a subject-specific admissions test taken by applicants to medicine, veterinary science and related courses at Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College, UCL and Royal Veterinary College. With more students than ever achieving A grades at A-level, BMAT testing is becoming increasingly popular as a way for universities to identify the most able and dedicated applicants. How to Master the BMAT consists of six sections of revision materials for the maths, physics, chemistry and biology components of the BMAT, with additional notes for problem solving and the writing task. At the end of each of these six sections, a set of review questions enables you to check that you have the necessary core knowledge (some of which you will have already acquired through your GCSE and A-level studies). The additional mock tests should be attempted under exam conditions for the best possible preparation. They provide the equivalent of three full BMAT tests (nine papers). Whatever your knowledge base you are supported throughout the book and where possible each question is complete with revision topics, indicated in brackets.
