Fluid Mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids and forces acting on them. It includes unlimited practical applications ranging from microscopic biological systems to automobiles, airplanes and spacecraft propulsion. Fluid Mechanics is the study of fluid behavior at rest and in motion. It also gives information about devices used to measure flow rate, pressure and velocity of fluid. The book uses plain, Lucid language to explain fundamentals of this subject. The book provides logical method of explaining various complicated concepts and stepwise methods to explain the important topics. Each chapter is well supported with necessary illustrations, practical examples and solved problems. All the chapters in the book are arranged in a proper sequence that permits each topic to build upon earlier studies. All care has been taken to make readers comfortable in understanding the basic concepts of the subject.
The term design means to plan for the construction of an object or the formulation of a plan for the satisfaction of need. The term machine design deals with the design of machines, their mechanisms and elements. Design of Machine Element (DME) may be defined as the selection of material and the dimensions for each geometrical parameter so that the element satisfies its function and undesirable effects are kept within the allowable limit. Machine elements are basic mechanical parts and features used as the building blocks of most machines. This book provides a systematic exposition of the basic concepts and techniques involved in design of machine elements. This book covers design of important elements such as gears, bearings and belt drives. Our hope is that this book, through its careful explanations of concepts, practical examples and figures bridges the gap between knowledge and proper application of that knowledge.
Dynamics of machinery is concerned with the motion of the parts of the machines and the forces acting on these parts. Dynamic loads and undesired oscillations increase with higher speed of machines. At the same time, industrial safety standards require better vibration isolation. This book covers balancing of mechanisms, torsion vibrations, vibration isolation and the dynamic behaviour of drives and machine frames as complex systems. Typical dynamic effects such as the gyroscopic effect, damping and absorption, shocks are explained using practical examples. The substantial benefit of this dynamics of machinery lies in the combination of theory and practical applications and the numerous descriptive examples based on practical data. Our hope is that this book, through its careful explanations of concepts, practical examples and figures bridges the gap between knowledge and proper application of that knowledge.
Operations research is the fast developing branch of science which deals with the most of the engineering activities. It consist of many models which are used to obtain the optimum solution for different activities. Operations research is a procedure which is executed iteratively for comparing various solutions till the optimum or satisfactory solution is obtained. An important aspect of the optimal design process is the formulation of the problem in a mathematical format which is acceptable to an algorithm and thus find out the optimal solution. These techniques are extensively used in those engineering design problem where the emphasis is on maximising or minimising a certain goal. This book is the introduction to the different techniques in operations research. The subject does not require a high level of mathematical knowledge. Each chapter of the book have examples from variety of fields. Our hope is that this book, through its careful explanations of concepts, practical examples and techniques bridges the gap between knowledge and proper application of that knowledge.
Metal cutting is the process of removing unwanted material in the form of chips from a block of metal using cutting tools. Metal cutting is performed on lathe machine, milling machine, drilling machine, shaper, planer and slotter. Grinding is the commonly used finishing process. Metal forming includes a large number of manufacturing processes in which plastic deformation property is used to change the shape and size of metal workpieces. During the process, for deformation purpose, a tool is used which is called as die. It applies stresses to the material to exceed the yield strength of the metal. Due to this the metal deforms into the shape of the die. Generally, the stresses applied to deform the metal plastically are compressive. Sheet metal working is generally associated with press machines and press working. Press working is a chipless manufacturing process by which various components are produced form sheet metal.
Engineering mechanics is the branch of the physical science which describes the response of bodies or systems of bodies to external behaviour of a body, in either a beginning state of rest or of motion, subjected to the action of forces. It bridges the gap between physical theory and its application to technology. It is used in many fields of engineering, especially mechanical engineering and civil engineering. Much of engineering mechanics is based on Sir Issac Newton’s laws of motion. Within the practical sciences, engineering mechanics is useful in formulating new ideas and theories, discovering and interpreting phenomena and developing experimental and computational tools.

Numerical methods are the mathematical procedures that approximate the solution of complex mathematical problems into much simpler form and which find a wide variety of use while solving complex Physical Chemistry problems. This book aims to aide in understanding of such numerical methods including solving complex differential equations and numerical differentiation & integration. Moreover it also explains various statistical tests used in Analytical Chemistry for data analysis. The author has tried to include as many example from Chemistry problems for a better understanding of the methods.
In machine design or design of machine elements we study about the design of individual components of machinery like shafts, keys, belts, bolts, gears, etc. In mechanical system design we means that how these components are going to work in collaboration, reliability of the system when different components work together. This book includes design of conveyors for material handling systems (belt conveyors), design of multispeed gearbox for machine tools, design of I.C. engine components and optimum design. It also includes the design of pressure vessels used in mechanical systems. This book provides a systematic exposition of the basic concepts and techniques involved in design of mechanical systems. Our hope is that this book, through its careful explanations of concepts, practical examples and figures bridges the gap between knowledge and proper application of that knowledge.
A material is that from which anything can be made. It includes wide range of metals and non-metals that are used to form finished product. The knowledge of materials and their properties is of great significance for a design engineer. Material science is the study of the structure-properties relationship of engineering materials such as ferrous; non-ferrous materials, polymers, ceramics, composites and some advanced materials. Metallurgy is the study of metals related to their extraction from ore, refining, production of alloys along with their properties. The study of material science and metallurgy links the science of metals to the industries. Also this helps in completing demands from new applications and severe service requirements.
Mechanical engineering, as its name suggests, deals with the mechanics of operation of mechanical systems. This is the branch of engineering which includes design, manufacturing, analysis and maintenance of mechanical systems. It combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with material science to design, analyse, manufacture and maintain mechanical systems. This book covers the field requires an understanding of core areas including thermodynamics, material science, manufacturing, energy conversion systems, power transmission systems and mechanisms. This book includes basic knowledge of various mechanical systems used in day to day life. My hope is that this book, through its careful explanations of concepts, practical examples and figures bridges the gap between knowledge and proper application of that knowledge.
