I am glad to present the book entitled “Basic Mechanical Engineering” for Ist Year (Second Semester) Diploma in Electrical Engineering as per the “I” Scheme code syllabus prescribed by MSBTE.

I have observed the students facing extreme difficulties in understanding the basic principles and fundamental concepts without adequate solved problems along with the text. To meet this basic requirement of students, sincere efforts have been made to present the subject matter with frequent use of figures and lots of numerical examples.

1. Steam Boilers and Steam Turbines

2. I.C. Engines and Gas Turbines

3. Fluid Machinery

4. Air Compressors

5. Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
