M E Subjects – Mechanical Engineering Concepts Simplified

Various topics of Mechanical Engineering presented are in a simple

manner. It is based on our vast teaching experience. Anybody can

make things complex. It is very difficult to make a topic simple. An

attempt is there to make every article simple to read, understand and

reproduce. Matter is from the literature available. Matter is in small

sentences.

Heat Transfer

Temperature difference causes heat transfer. Modes of heat transfer are conduction, convection and radiation. It takes place from higher temperature to low temperature by itself. There are applications needing reduction or increase in heat transfer.

  1. Introduction

  2. Conduction heat transfer

  3. Convection heat transfer

  4. Radiation heat transfer

  5. Fins heat transfer

  6. Heat exchangers

  7. Dimensional analysis

  8. Hydrodynamic and Thermal boundary layers

  9. Boiling and Condensation

 

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning 

It deals with refrigeration, comfort and industrial air conditioning. Refrigeration is lowering of temperature. It deals with preservation of life, taste and flavor. Comfort air conditioning increases human efficiency. Industrial air conditioning improves quality and quantity of products.

  1. Vapor compression refrigeration
