Langhaar H Dimensional Analysis and Theory of Models 1951 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

Dimensional analysis treats the general forms of equations that describe natural phenomena. Applications of dimensional analysis abound in nearly
all fields of engineering, particularly in fluid mechanics and in heat-transfer theory.
A systematic and thorough treatment of the principles of dimensional analysis is undertaken in this book. The part of the presentation that is essential for practical applications presupposes little mathematical preparation, other than basic algebra and an understanding of the concept of a function. Buckingham’s theorem, which really embodies all dimensional analysis, is introduced early, without the customary pi notation that is apt to render its meaning obscure to a beginner.
The application of dimensional analysis to any particular phenomenon is based on the assumption that certain variables, which are named, are the independent variables of the problem, and that all variables, other than these and the dependent variable, are redundant or irrelevant
