Solve Any Mechanical Engineering Problem -- Quickly and Accurately!
Get fast, accurate solutions to virtually any day-to-day mechanical  engineering problem with the revised Handbook of Mechanical Engineering  Calculations, Second Edition. This update of Tyler Hicks' classic work  equips you with numbered, step-by-step procedures for solving specific  problems, together with worked-out examples that give numerical results  for the calculations. The Handbook offers expert solutions to thousands  of mechanical engineering problems, all logically organized under four  headings: power generation

lant and facilities  engineering:environmental control:and design engineering. Ranging from  power plant equipment, combustion, compressors, heat exchanges, and  refrigeration:to wastewater treatment, HVAC, machine design, and  metalworking, this reference will help you obtain on-target results with  maximum efficiency.
The Second Edition features include:
* Cutting-edge calculation procedures for design engineering advances in shafts,bearings, springs, and brakes
* The latest automatic and digital control calculations
* Numerous worked-out examples in USCS and SI units
* Helpful numbered steps showing the exact procedure for computing desired results
* A wealth of information new to the Second Edition on alternative and  renewable energy, gas turbine installations, plastics, pumps and piping,  refrigerants, plumbing, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, space  humidification systems, and much more.
