Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics (7th ed, Munson et al, 2012)
This textbook is designed for undergraduate students in mechanical or civil engineering and applied sciences. Assuming a background in calculus and physics, it focuses on using mathematics to model fluid mechanics principles. The book is organized into 13 chapters and uses both SI and British gravitational units. It includes a brief description of the engineering system and a discussion of gc for illustrative purposes.

Graduate Texts in Physics publishes core learning/teaching material for graduate-and advanced-level undergraduate courses on topics of current and emerging fields within physics, both pure and applied. These textbooks serve students at the MS-or PhD-level and their instructors as comprehensive sources of principles, definitions, derivations, experiments and applications (as relevant) for their mastery and teaching, respectively. International in scope and relevance, the textbooks correspond to course syllabi sufficiently to serve as required reading. Their didactic style, comprehensiveness and coverage of fundamental material also make them suitable as introductions or references for scientists entering, or requiring timely knowledge of, a research field.
This class provides students with an introduction to principal concepts and methods of fluid mechanics. Topics covered in the course include pressure, hydrostatics, and buoyancy; open systems and control volume analysis; mass conservation and momentum conservation for moving the models necessary to study, analyze, and design fluid systems through the application of these concepts, and to develop the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice of fluid mechanics in practical applications.
In this book we look at an alternative way of deriving the governing equations of fluid flow using conservation of energy techniques on a differential element undergoing shear stress or viscous forces as it moves along a pipe and we use the expression for friction coefficient for laminar flow to derive the equations.We also derive other friction factors to explain observations. We also derive the equations that work for Torricelli flow and there conditions. We derive the turbulent flow equations too. We derive the general equation for all regimes laminar, transition and turbulent flow
