I would recommend 'Introduction to Fluid Mechanics' by Fox/McDonald/Pritchard. I used it in the past and I thought it was quite good. I also used 'Intro to Fluids Mechanics' by smits. While some of it was good, i found the Fox/McDonald to be much better.
It is not just a young engineer thing. My son in law is a civil engineer, and when he was courting my daughter, the rule was that he had to bring his fluids text book with him when he came a'courting, so I could read it (while they went out.)
It was much more up to date, and with better pictures and illustrations than my older college version had. I loved reading it.
Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Fred White. This is a classical textbook found in most university campus book stores, engineering section, fluid mechanics.

rmw, were ya readin that fluids book whilst sitting on the front porch between pushing rounds into the magazine of your 12-gauge? ;-) ;-) I keep wondering what I'm going to do when my daughter goes out on dates... reading a fluids book is not near the top of the list... reloading 12-ga rounds is though! ;-) ;-)
