Case Studies in Mechanical Engineering by Stuart Sabol, A decision Making, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer guide. This book is an attempt to complement the engineering knowledge gained from a university curriculum with real complex system engineering problems that were actually encountered in the real world and that impacted both his career and the bottom line of the companies involved. The cases in this book are experiences, altered to avoid identification with any owner. Names are excluded. Locations are not mentioned and in many cases transposed across oceans to disguise the original project. It is not my intent to identify anyone but to present a situation that provides a learning opportunity.
