Engineering science emphasizes the principles of science in such a way that
they are useful for analysing engineering problems. In this regard, the background
of engineering mechanics and thermodynamics is considered essential for all engineers.
The contents have been arranged to meet the requirements of undergraduate engineering
students preparing for examinations conducted by universities and professional societies
such as Institution of Engineers (India). Numerous solved examples have also been provided
to clarify various topics discussed in the book.
