Book Description

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. 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.
