Case Studies in Mechanical Engineering by Stuart Sabol 

Book Description:

Using a case study approach, this reference tests the reader’s ability to apply engineering fundamentals to real-world examples and receive constructive feedback

Case Studies in Mechanical Engineering provides real life examples of the application of engineering fundamentals.  They relate to real equipment, real people and real decisions.  They influence careers, projects, companies, and governments.  The cases serve as supplements to fundamental courses in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, instrumentation, economics, and statistics.  The author explains equipment and concepts to solve the problems and suggests relevant assignments to augment the cases.

Graduate engineers seeking to refresh their career, or acquire continuing education will find the studies challenging and rewarding.  Each case is designed to be accomplished in one week, earning up to 15 hours of continuing education credit.  Each case study provides methods to present an argument, work with clients, recommend action and develop new business.

Key features:

• Highlights the economic consequences of engineering designs and decisions.
• Encourages problem solving skills.
• Application of fundamentals to life experiences.
• Ability to practice with real life examples.

Case Studies in Mechanical Engineering is a valuable reference for mechanical engineering practitioners working in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer and related areas.

Being an engineer, husband and father rank extremely amongst my endeavors. I’ve had nice mentors all through my skilled and private life; and have tried to be an excellent mentor to these I labored with, and to these near me. This guide is probably a completion of that try to mentor others to turn out to be higher engineers. After I ask somebody, “How do you remedy an issue?” they have a look at me and ask something starting from “Don’t you already know?” to “What downside?” I don’t know the reply both.What I do know is that the extra issues I remedy the higher I’m at fixing issues. Thus, expertise is a worthwhile trainer. The difficulty is, expertise takes time. Decreasing the time to realize expertise in actual‐world downside fixing is subsequently a objective of this work. I’ve taken from my profession probably the most memorable initiatives. They’re memorable as a result of they had been troublesome. Memorable as a result of I discovered one thing from each.

Though they might appear troublesome, there are paths via the information and seemingly unconnected factors that reside in our engineering training. My hope is that these eventualities open doorways to downside fixing and life past the college that may pay dividends in the reader’s profession as a mechanical engineer. The instances in this guide are experiences, altered to keep away from identification with any proprietor. Names are excluded. Areas should not talked about and in many instances transposed throughout oceans to disguise the unique mission.

It’s not my intent to establish anybody however to current a state of affairs that gives a studying alternative. I anticipate that every chapter, together with the issues and outdoors readings, could be accomplished in one week as a part of a complement to course research. There are folks and establishments which have made this guide attainable, and I want to  acknowledge just a few of them. To the contributors of art work, Mitsubishi‐Hitachi Energy Methods Americas, EPRI, Doosan, ERCOT, ThermoFlow, Fram, Nooter/Eriksen, Atco, Common Electrical, Siemens, ASME, Crane, DeWalt, Dresser, Alstom, Triad Devices, and house owners that permitted the usage of images, I’m deeply grateful.

Having the ability to present dimension, scale, and particulars of apparatus traits is a worthwhile contribution. Thanks. My engineering {and professional} mentors are too quite a few to recall; nonetheless, just a few deserve a point out. Charles, it was nice to work with you and create a primary of its type. Keith, you directed a mentor/mentee relationship that modified the corporate, and guarded it in a novel mission that resulted in a substantial new alternative. Who says Fortran is lifeless? Reid, “you may have just one first precedence,” “everybody has a contribution to make,” and “there are solely two choices you make in your life” are worthwhile life classes that may stick with me.

Mike taught me the right way to respect everybody’s opinion, to hunt them out, and incorporate everybody’s information. George helped me perceive that there isn’t a better pleasure than to take pleasure in what you do. Jo confirmed me the right way to progress the work and the right way to encourage folks. A particular because of Steve Turns at Penn State. Your suggestions was a breakthrough for this guide. Additionally a particular because of my writer. Paul, thanks for believing in the guide as a lot as I did, and in my means to create it.
