N2  - Both broad and deep in coverage, Rubenstein shows that 
 fluid mechanics principles can be applied not only to blood circulation but also to airflow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement, and renal transport. Each section initiates discussion with governing equations, derives the state equations and then shows examples of their usage. Clinical applications,  extensive worked examples, and numerous end of chapter problems clearly show the applications of fluid mechanics to biomedical engineering situations. A section on 
experimental techniques provides a springboard for. Uses language and math that is appropriate and conducive for undergraduate learning, containing many worked examples and end of chapter problems. All engineering concepts and equations are developed within a biological context. 
 Covers topics in the traditional biofluids curriculum, as 
  well as addressing other systems in the body that can be 
  described by biofluid mechanics principles, such as air 
  flow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement, and renal transport. Clinical applications are discussed throughout the book, providing practical applications for the concepts discussed."--Publisher's description
