Fundamentals Of Mechanical Sciences Engineering Thermodynamics And Fluid Mechanics For Wbut PDF Download

It is recognized that the study of mechanical engineering is built of a number of engineering sciences, some of which are of basic nature whereas some other are of applied nature. "Basic Thermodynamics" and "Basic Fluid Dynamics" are probably the two most important basic engineering sciences in the build of a Mechanical Power Engineer. In applied mechanical power engineering sciences, the principles introduced and analysed in these two basic sciences are common divisors. In other words, we may look at these two branches of basic engineering sciences as two legs on which Mechanical Power Engineering applications appear to stand. The science of "Basic Thermodynamics " is based mainly on a number of basic principles (in the form of laws) that lead to a number of equations describing and governing the behavior of several mechanical power systems. It is therefore of particular importance to introduce and analyse such equations. It is also essential to relate these principles and equations to each other and, whenever possible, to pertinent phenomena and applications. This may be achieved via worked examples that stem from from engineering practice. The science of "Basic Fluid Dynamics" is another basic engineering science of equal importance to "Basic Thermodynamics". The principles introduced and analysed by this basic science find applications in almost all applied mechanical power engineering sciences. Examples of these applied sciences are "Applied Thermodynamics", "Applied Fluid Dynamics", "Combustion Engineering"," Turbo-machinery", "Refrigeration and Air-conditioning", "Power Plants", "Gas dynamics". "Propulsion systems" ….etc. Because of the close inter-relation between the science of basic thermodynamics and the science of basic fluid dynamics, it has become a common practice to contained both sciences in one textbook under the title “Basic Thermo/fluid Dynamics” (the title of the present textbook). The present textbook on "Basic Thermo/fluid Dynamics" has been divided into distinct parts: A and B. In part A, we concentrate on "Basic Thermodynamics", attempting to present, with as much clarity as possible, the basic principles therein and giving several worked examples for the sake of clarification. In part B, we concentrate on "Basic Fluid Dynamics", applying the same philosophy as in Part A. In this part also, a special section (in chapter five) containing a rather concise manipulation of the applied science of "Compressible Fluid (Gas) Dynamics" is presented, being an important combined application of the basic principles discussed in thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Moreover, It was felt by the authors that it is particularly important to include this section on gas dynamics, since, in spite of being applied in nature, it is regarded by many as basic more than applied. The last chapter of Part A and chapter five of Part B cover some important engineering applications of the principles given apriori. Each of these applications may be looked upon as a brief exposition of an applied engineering science carrying the title of the application under consideration. This was felt imperative to the advantage hopefully to be gained by the student. The authors are indebted to their colleague Dr. Mohammad S.H. Emeara of the Mechanical Power Engineering Department, Zagazig University, for assisting with part of the illustrations and wish to thank him for rendering this assistance in the early stages of preparation of this textbook.
