Publisher's Synopsis
Authors of Thermal Engineering are happy to present a long standing requirement of a book which will be useful to the students from first year to final year mechanical engineering course from various universities. This book covers quite wide spectrum of topics like fundamental concepts, first & second law of thermodynamics, IC engines, Systems of IC engines, Compressors & Gas turbines, Jet propulsion system, Boilers, properties of steam, Steam nozzles and Turbines, Condensers, Refrigeration and air-conditioning, Heat transfer, Fuels and combustion. New topics of today's interest like pollution and pollution control have been covered. Topics like metal cutting / joining process, machine devices & elements, introduction of mechatronics have also been included. This would give preliminary exposure to the students going to non-mechanical course to acquire some basic ideas about the manufacturing industry. These topics are intended to be studied by all students in the first year level in most of the universities.
