The book is meant for first year BE/B.Tech. students and addresses the course curriculum in Mechanical Experiments and Workshop Practice. The book explains theory and methodology of performing experiments about: " Mechanics " Strength of Materials " Materials Science The book also includes: " IC Engines " Steam Engines " Boilers " Steam Turbines " Water Turbines and Pumps Manufacturing processes and workshop experiments are included in workshop practice which cover: " Machining " Welding " Metal forming " Casting " Carpentry and Plumbing Key Features: " It provides a large number of diagrams for easy understanding of tools and equipment. " A large number of viva and objective type questions are also given.The concepts and principles of working of various common mechanical machinery such as bi-cycle, motorcycle, lift, escalator, hovercraft, aircraft, helicopter, jet engine and rocket have been explained. Similarly the constructional details and principles of working of commonly used household appliances such as desert cooler, air conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, ceiling fan, tubelight and iron box have been included.

The ALENEX workshop provides a forum for the presentation of original research in the implementation and experimental evaluation of algorithms and data structures. This volume collects extended versions of the 12 papers that were selected for presentation.

This books contains the Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Power Transmissions, that was held in Sinaia, Romania from June 20 -23, 2012. Power Transmissions is a very complex and multi-disciplinary scientific field of Mechanical Engineering that covers the different types of transmissions (mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic) as well as all the machine elements involved, such as gears, bearings, shafts, couplings and a lot more. It concerns not only their basic theory but also their design, analysis, testing, application and maintenance. The requirements set to modern power transmissions are really tough to meet: They need to be more efficient, stronger, smaller, noiseless, easier to produce and to cost less. There is a strong demand to become easier in operation and maintenance, or even automatic and in maintenance-free. Last but not least, they should be easily recycled and respect the environment. Joint efforts of specialists from both academia and industry can significantly contribute to fulfill these needs. The main goal of this conference was to bring together experts from all over the world and present the latest developments in the field of Power Transmissions.

The experiments related to the nature and properties of engineering materials and provided information to assist in teaching about materials in the education community.

The textbook on “Workshop/ Manufacturing Practices” is designed to cater the needs of young minds of 21 century. The AICTE model curriculum and National Education Policy has driven a new wave in the technical education. The textbook is designed not only to cater the need of the syllabus but also to look things in a different perspective. The Workshop is the place where the core of learning about different materials, equipment, tools and techniques takes place. Basically the workshop used to prepare the small components by hand tools. Sometimes they may be parts of the large machines or may may be parts for replacement/repairs. In this text book an attempt has been made to connect the conventional tools usage to advanced machine tools usage. The relevant practical examples are quoted to make the readers more comfortable with product and processes. The blooms taxonomy is fallowed in construction of each chapters and exercises. The objective and multiple questions with higher order thinking may help the readers to not only to face the semester end exam even they may help in competitive and other examinations. Salient Features: l Manufacturing Methods l CNC Machining, Additive manufacturing l Fitting operations & power tools l Electrical & Electronic l Carpentry l Plastic mounding, glass cutting l Metal casting l Welding (arc welding & gas welding), brazing l Laboratory experiments and models l Appendices l References

Engineering Workshop Practice Manual” is a common paper for the first year Diploma course in Engineering & Technology. Syllabus of this book is strictly aligned as per model curriculum of AICTE and academic content is amalgamated with the concept of outcome based education. Engineering Workshop Practice manual covers five units- First unit deals with the carpentry, second unit is about fitting , third unit focuses on welding, fourth units discusses about sheet metal working and the fifth unit deals with electrical house wiring . The manual comprises of total seventeen workshop practical from P1 to P17 and the same are arranged in hierarchical manner from simple to complex so that students should not only focus on completing the practical and getting the marks/ grades but will also be motivated to create useful products incorporating their creative and critical thinking as well. Some salient features of the book: l Content of the manual aligned with the mapping of Course Outcomes, Programs Outcomes and practical outcomes. l Relevant theory has been included at the beginning of each practical. l The manual has been developed to ensure alignment with the Outcome Based Education philosophy and consisting of total seventeen workshop practical. l Unit wise practical are arranged in hierarchical manner from simple to complex. l Manual provides recent information and QR Code for E-resources etc. l Figures, photographs and table are inserted to improve clarity of the content.
