An Introduction to Modern Vehicle Design by Julian Happian-Smith. The book is intended to provide the reader with an introduction to most of the topics that are of concern when a vehicle is being designed from the clean sheet of the paper stage. There is a wide range of references alluded to within the text that the reader can draw …

Mechanical Design Second edition by Peter Childs. The overall aims of this book are to introduce the subject of total design and the design and selection of various common mechanical engineering components and machine elements. These provide building blocks’ with which the designer and engineer can practice their art. This book is principally a Year/Level 1 and 2 undergraduate texts. …

Machine Drawing 3rd Edition by K.L. Narayana. This book deals with the fundamentals of Engineering Drawing, to begin with, and the authors introduce Machine Drawing systematically thereafter. This, in my opinion, is an excellent approach. This book is a valuable piece to the students of Mechanical Engineering at diploma, degree, and AMIE levels. This book acts as a valuable guide …

Rules of Thumb for Mechanical Engineers by J. Edward Pope. A Manual Of Quick, Accurate Solutions To every day Mechanical Engineering Problems. This book provides hundreds of shortcuts, calculations, practical “how-to” methods, and concise background reviews into one convenient volume. Whether you’re concerned with design, selection, or performance, you’ll find fast, accurate answers here, all without wading through pages of …

Heat Exchanger Design Handbook by Kuppan Thulukkanam Second Edition. This book provides up-to-date information on the single-phase heat transfer problems encountered by engineers in their daily work. It will continue to be a centerpiece of information for practicing engineers, research engineers, academicians, designers, and manufacturers involved in heat exchange between two or more fluids. It also covers the recent advances …

Welding for design engineers by the Canadian Welding Bureau. This book has been mainly developed for civil engineers. For more than a century, civil engineering and the importance of having a knowledge of welding engineering students have been taught the design of reinforced concrete structures and riveted steel structures. Hopefully, after studying this volume, the reader should be able to solve …

Mechanical Engineers Data Handbook by J. Carvill. The Mechanical Engineer’s Data Handbook covers the main disciplines of mechanical engineering and incorporates basic principles, formulas for easy substitution, tables of physical properties and much descriptive matter backed by numerous illustrations. It also contains a comprehensive glossary of technical terms and a full index for easy cross-reference. Mechanical Engineers Data Handbook Contents Strength of …

Handbook of Mechanical Design by George F. Nordenholt. A reference-book Other than the major portion of the chapter on materials and a few other pages that have been added to round out the treatment of certain subjects, all the material in this book appeared in past numbers of Product Engineering, although some of it has been condensed or re-edited. Very little of …

Design Engineers Handbook by Keith L. Richards. The world of mechanical design engineering is very broad and covers a wide range of subjects. This book is specifically aimed at the student design engineer who has left full- or part-time academic studies and requires a handy reference handbook. Some of the titles may seem a little obscure, but in my experience, …

Boiler design is the process of designing boilers used for various purposes. The main function of a boiler is to heat water for steam generation. Steam produced can be used for a variety of purposes including space heating, sterilization, drying, humidification, and power generation. The temperature or condition of steam required for these applications is different, so how to design a boiler …
