Description
The subject ‘Elements of Mechanical Engineering’ embraces 3 different fields of Mechanical Engineering, namely Thermodynamics, Strength of Materials and Theory of Machines.
The book is written in simple and easy to understand language. The authors have ingeniously brought in situations encountered by common man in his day-to-day life, so as to generate interest in the reader for the subject which otherwise leaves him high and dry.
In addition to this, every topic is supplemented with large no. of solved examples (more than 300 examples) which deals with every possible situation. At the end of each chapter, review questions have been added so that the students are made conversant with the type of compulsory questions they have to face in university exam. These are also followed by large no. of model problems.
