Fundamentals Of Mechanical Engineering: Thermodynamicstrue Theory Of Machines And Strength Of Materials 2Nd Ed.

Written with the first-year engineering students at undergraduate level in mind, this well-designed textbook, now in its second edition, explains the fundamentals of mechanical engineering in the areas of thermodynamics, mechanics, theory of machines, and strength of materials. As these subjects form a basic part of an engineer’s education, this text is admirably suited to meet the needs of the common course in mechanical engineering prescribed in the curricula of almost all branches of engineering. The thoroughly revised second edition includes

• Four new chapters—Centroid and Moment of Inertia, Kinematics of Rigid Body, Kinetics of Rigid Body, and Mechanism and Simple Machines—to meet the course requirements.
• More solved problems culled from the latest university and competitive examination papers.

KEY FEATURES

• Presents an introduction to basic mechanical engineering topics required by all engineering students in their studies.
• Provides a large number of worked problems which help in understanding theory.
• Includes objective type questions with explanatory answers to help students in preparing for competitive examinations.
