Bird Stewat Lightfoot there are sample problems.
Transport Phenomena
THIS IS MY BSL. THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT, BUT THIS ONE IS MINE. MY BSL IS MY BEST FRIEND. IT IS MY LIFE. I MUST MASTER IT AS I MASTER MY LIFE. WITHOUT ME, MY BSL IS USELESS. WITHOUT MY BSL, I AM USELESS. I MUST USE MY CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS TRUE. I MUST MAKE MOMENTUM BALANCES BETTER THAN MY ENEMY, WHO IS TRYING TO OUT-BALANCE ME. I MUST DESIGN HIS PIPES BEFORE HE DESIGNS MINE. I WILL. BEFORE THE ICHEME I SWEAR THIS CREED: MY BSL AND MYSELF ARE DEFENDERS OF MY PROFESSION. WE ARE THE MASTERS OF OUR ENEMY, WE ARE THE SAVIOURS OF OUR PLANT. SO BE IT, UNTIL THERE IS NO ENEMY, BUT PEACE. AMEN.
Thermodynamics is usually covered separately from fluid mechanics. At least in chemical engineering, fluid mechanics is usually covered together with heat transfer and mass transfer, since they are all mathematically very similar, and can be grouped together as 'transport phenomena'. Fluid mechanics = transport of momentum, Heat transfer = transport of heat, mass transfer = transport of mass.
Anyway, if you are only interested in fluid mechanics, my favorite textbook is Middleman. For an entry-level textbook that covers all three, I like the W^3 textbook.
For more advanced transport phenomena, the de-facto standard is Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot. A lot of schools actually use this for their undergraduate course, but I frankly think it's too difficult for an introductory text. For students that already know the fundamentals though, it's an excellent reference book.
For real graduate-level analysis, I really like Deen's book.
Caveat: all these textbooks are pretty expensive, and can run you close to $100 even used. There might be much less expensive alternatives that still teach the material well.
That does it. I'm pulling out the old Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot and putting a hex on you. You're lucky my wife's asleep; I'm just an engineer, but as a working experimental physicist she can do death magic.

Bird, Stewart, Lightfoot...BSL for those in the know.
