Inaccessible
 Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
Denn's text is much shorter than most introductions to fluid mechanics, but he seems to have left out all of the material that would make the topic interesting and accessible to the novice. The topics are well-ordered and have a logical progression, but almost all of the explanatory matter is missing. It is extremely difficult to get a conceptual understanding of fluid dynamics by looking at page after page of variable manipulation. In addition, the index is so incomplete as to be useless; most of the terms one would look up are not listed, or point only to the page where it was cursorily defined.

That said, this book can be salvaged for a class by a professor who is skilled at conveying concepts (rather than just equations.) I also suspect this book would be useful as a reference for those who have already learned the fundamental material. However, I recommend that the novice look elsewhere for a satisfactory introduction to fluid mechanics.


Pedagogically logical; ordered progression of concepts
 Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
Denn's book is an excellent introductory text for chemical engineering fluid mechanics. The book starts off with the basics of dim-analysis and proceeds into macro and then micro problems. This is a very logical ordering and allows the student to see the subject from a broader perspective instead of getting bogged down in the systematics of the problems themselves. A careful reading is definitely needed to get the most out of the book, though. And the section on turbulence is a bit unclear. Overall, though, a good book to keep for many years to come as a chem eng.

Adequate coverage of chemical engineering fluid mechanics
 Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
"Process Fluid Mechanics" is a very satisfactory introductory text on chemical engineering fluid mechanics. Denn shows the basics of fluid mechanics in a concise, mathematical, and theoretical manner. A must-have for any beginning chemcical engineering fluid mechanics class.

Concise and well-structured
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Denn's book manages to address the key fluid mechanics topics of relevance to chemical engineering, such as microscopic balances, lubrication approx., dimensional analysis, & creeping flow. This textbook is used at leading institutions such as UC Berkeley, MIT, Princeton, & Cornell. Using BSL as a reference for fully worked out examples and problems, Denn's textbook covers essential material for graduate school and industrial research.

A lesson in How NOT to teach fluid mechanics.
 Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1
Denn has managed to make even a book about fluids seem dry. Denn has managed to write a book which is useless as a textbook, and of questionable value as reference material.
