Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Part 2, 2nd Edition by Michael Clifford
Requirements: .PDF reader, 93.8 MB | True PDF
Overview: Introduction to Mechanical Engineering: Part 2 is the essential text for all second-year undergraduate students as well as those studying foundation degrees and Higher National Diplomas. Written by an experienced team of lecturers at the internationally renowned University of Nottingham, the text provides thorough coverage of the following core engineering topics, fully updated for the Second Edition: – Fluid dynamics; – Thermodynamics; – Solid mechanics; – Electromechanical drive systems; – Feedback and control theory; – Structural vibration. This second edition contains additional material in Unit 1: fluid dynamics comparing the Navier–Stokes equations to the Bernoulli equation, vortex-shedding, the application of fluid dynamics to blood flow, the flight of golf balls and drag reduction using riblets. Unit 4: Electromechanical Drive Systems contains a major new section on motors used in electric and hybrid vehicles. As 3D printers and related technologies are becoming increasingly prevalent, new material is included on the stepper motors often used within them, including the importance of logic circuits and power electronics in their control. Unit 5: Feedback and Control Theory includes new material on applications of control including self-balancing transport devices and position control systems including a practical example involving the use of a microcontroller. There is also new material on the manipulation of block diagrams. As well as mechanical engineers, the text will be highly relevant to automotive, aeronautical/aerospace and general engineering students. All units include questions, with Units 4 and 5 including enhanced, detailed solutions online as a bonus feature.
