The Indian Space and Research Organisation(ISRO) needs no introduction. ISRO conducts recruitment exams to hire some of the most curious and fine brains of the country for research and engineering posts. Here are some Mechanical Engineering books recommended to prepare for the exam.
A Textbook of Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines by Prof. R.K. Bansal is an ultimate book for students of mechanical engineering. Revised and updated, this book contains all the chapters and topics matching the latest syllabus of mechanical engineering. Popular nationwide, this book helps students to gain comprehensive knowledge about the subject. The clear and easy-to-understand language of the book makes it ideal for all. A set of solved problems is given at the end of every topic. Chapters are divided into different topics and supported with detail explanation, examples and diagrams wherever required. At the end of every chapter, important highlights and exercise are provided, so that students can revise the entire chapter in a short time; while exercise allows them to check their grip on the subject.
The entire book is divided into 21 chapters, extensively covering all the important aspects of mechanical engineering. Furthermore, this book has been preferred and recommended by students and educationists nationwide. It is also useful for preparing competitive examinations such as UPSC, GATE, ISRO etc..
The Strength of Materials has entered its tenth edition with a better subject matter, revised tables and reconstructed diagrams using computer graphics. The book consists of sections such as Stresses and Strains, Beams and Bending, Compression Members, Shafts, Springs and Cylinders and so on. You will find vital definitions, principles and theories at the beginning of each chapter and solved as well as unsolved problems at the end of those chapters. Advance problems are also given in the bookkeeping in mind the standard of other competitive examinations.
The Strength of Materials was first introduced in the year 1964 and since then, it has been updated and revised numerous times to make it a better book on material mechanics. The book is divided into five sections and twenty-eight chapters.
This book features the recent advancements and developments in the new mechanisms and explains the underlying principles of kinematics.
The book has a credible practice section to help the students test their understanding of the chapters. The questions are based on theoretical concepts. The examples and illustrations have been explained well along with well-labelled diagrams to ease the understanding quotient of the student.
Readers prefer this book for competitive exams such as UPSC, SSC-JE, ISRO etc..
As one of the most popular heat transfer texts, Jack Holman’s “Heat Transfer” is noted for its clarity, accessible approach, and the inclusion of many examples and problem sets. The new tenth edition retains the straight-forward, to-the-point writing style while covering both analytical and empirical approaches to the subject. Throughout the book, the emphasis is placed on physical understanding while, at the same time, relying on meaningful experimental data in those situations that do not permit a simple analytical solution. New examples and templates provide students with updated resources for computer-numerical solutions.
Manufacturing Science by Ghosh & Malik contains information related to Numerical control machine tools and automated systems of production, Advanced statistical methods of quality control, Industrial robots on the factory floor etc.. The Manufacturing science is also a very important part in Mechanical engineering. This book comes handy for competitive exams.
This book is loaded with following features:
- LOD based approach helpful to secure better marks
- Case studies for exposure to critical design problems
- Objective Type Questions
- Hybridized sections like Quick Digest and solution Guide (will be helpful to perform better in exams.
Engineering Mechanics is a textbook that has been used for the last eight decades by academicians, tutors, and students and they have always praised the book due to its content and the explanation of the concepts. This fifth edition contains the original format of the book, while several new topics and concepts have been added to new educational modules. The book is very useful and a long-term guide.
The book covers detailed explanations of Mechanics of Engineering. It explains the Statics and Dynamics mechanisms with the use of scalar approach and the SI Units are used throughout the book. The book has explanations elaborating on the mechanisms of Friction and Kinematics.
Each of the contents is well explained and illustrated with flowcharts and diagrams. The book is descriptive which makes it easier for teachers to follow and firm up the syllabus and their teaching. The book helps the students with a clear understanding of the topics.
The book is certainly popular among the mechanical students. Undergrad students and those preparing for exam incline towards referring this book and recommend it to fellow students.
This is a book for engineering students who want to be good at the thermal field and for beginners. The author has written and explained each topic well. This a standard book for all mechanical field students. Some even refer it as “bible for mechanical students”.
Higher Engineering Mathematics is a great book as suggested by readers. Offering a variety of MCQs and numerous questions for practice, this book stands out as a preference for those preparing for competitive exams.
It covers all the theory behind Industrial management, Plant Layout, Production Planning and Control, Work and Motion Study, Personnel Management and the financial aspects of industries. The book is indispensable to students taking up the GATE exam as well as regular practitioners.
