A concise introduction to the principles of aerodynamics, covering core fluid-mechanics concepts, lift and drag physics, boundary layers, compressible flow, and high-speed aerodynamics. Designed as practical lecture notes for engineering students.

Problems asked in educational settings tend to rely on standard template solutions (plug and play in modern parlance) that leave little thinking for the student.The interplay of different fields in Engineering requires a more broad understanding starting with basic concepts and moving on to problem definition, analysis, using numerical tools and getting a handle on the solution. This can only be facilitated with continually updating ones expertise by practicing older and newer type...

A Collection of notes and practise problems for students in Engineering and Applied Physics

The subject of Robotics is now taught in numerous colleges and schools worldwide.Robots have become a part of everyday culture and vocabulary.Robots now exist in almost every home from microwave ovens and washing machines to smart phone enabled homes and devices. It is now popularly ascribed to Tesla cars, although many older cars had robots embedded in them.An understanding of the formal basis of the topic is outlined in this book, and is aimed at students in technical cour...

This is a collection of problems and notes for the student of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, and Civil Engineering. The subject is a basic requirement for several fields including Architecture. It is hoped it is helpful.

An assortment of different problems and their suggested solutions is assembled here. It is hoped that these would be a help in studying for the various exams for Mechanical Engineering.

A comprehensive look at renewable energy sources and rural technology. With the ongoing pollution crisis and spread of dust borne viruses, we need to rethink the traditional.methods which use fossil fuel.Energy is one of the major building blocks of modern society. Energy is needed to create goods from natural resources. Economic development and improved standards of energy are complex processes that share a common denominator: the availability of an adequate and reliable supply of...

The idea of renewable energy has found application since the time of the ancient Egyptians, Romans, Chinese, Indians and more recently in Medieval Europe where windmills and watermills were used. Since the Industrial Revolution, King Coal has found his place and may soon be superseded by Nuclear Energy. Solar and Thermoelectric, Wave and geothermal are slowly finding application also.

An outline of the methods of Finite Elements at two major Indian Universties, VTU and JNTU is developed. The subject of FEM started with the analysis of struts and bridge members as early as the 1800's and slowly developed during the 1950's with the automobile industry.It is now common to most engineering syllabi. A good basis in the subject is essential to advance in the profession and in academic pursuits.
