"This second edition provides a text for the student engineer. Symbols and nomenclature have been updated and additional material has been included on prime movers, simple navigational problems, and the basic mechanics of aircraft, rockets and satellite motion. Written throughout in SI units, it keeps formulae to a minimum and worked examples illustrate the application of basic principles. It is designed for students on BTEC National Cer ..."
"Mechanical Engineering Science provides an introduction to the basic science and mechanics required by mechanical engineering students in their studies; it links in with and complements the authors' companion volume Applied Mechanics. This edition of a well-known classic text has been completely updated and includes new material giving extended coverage of power generation and prime movers as well as the topical subjects of renewable en ..."
