Second edition of the best-selling reference book for classic mechanical engineering problems

Covers basic concepts, equations and principles of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics and major application areas such as bioengineering, energy-efficient building systems, traditional and renewable energy sources, food processing, and aerospace heat transfer topics. Includes numerical and computational tools, microscale and nanoscale engineering, and new complex-structured materials.

This first volume covers materials and mechanical design, giving you accessible and in-depth access to the most common topics you'll encounter in the discipline: carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum alloys, copper and copper alloys, titanium alloys for design, nickel and its alloys, magnesium and its alloys, superalloys for design, composite materials, smart materials, electronic materials, viscosity measurement, and much more. Presents comprehensive coverage of materials and mechanical design.

Tutorial-based introduction to solid modeling and the SOLIDWORKS software. Each tutorial is organized as "keystroke-level" instructions, designed to teach the use of the software.

Introduces the MATLAB toolbar and SIMULINK toolboxes and discusses MATLAB operators, functions, and graphics. Provides numerous MATLAB programs tested and run for various projects for different disciplines in engineering.

Covers fundamentals and applications, with illustrations throughout. Program design and algorithm development are presented, along with many examples from a wide range of familiar scientific and engineering areas. Also ideal for an engineering problem-solving course using MATLAB.
