Preface

Mechanical engineering is one of the largest engineering disciplines that present
tangible solutions for whole humanity’s prosperity and the quality of life. Rapidly
increasing demands have been increasing its importance more and more. The many
areas within the scope of mechanical engineering include transportation, power
generation, energy conversion, machine design, manufacturing and automation, the
control of system. The purpose of the Mechanical Engineering book is to present to the
engineers in industrial areas and to the academic environments the state-of-to-art
information on the most important topics of modern mechanical engineering.
This Mechanical Engineering book is organized into the following five parts:
I Power Transmission Systems
II Manufacturing Processes and System Analysis
III Thermo-Fluid Systems
IV Simulations and Computer Applications
V New Approaches in Mechanical Engineering Education and Organization
Systems
The first part of this book starts with a collection of articles on the power transmission
systems. This section introduces modeling of transmission parameter, the performance
and simulation, and dynamics analysis of gearboxes. Section two collects articles about
the manufacturing processes and system analysis such as welding, plastic forming,
investigation of mechanical properties, and vibration analysis. The third section
presents the studies related to thermo-fluid science and it includes topics such as fuel
reforming, steam turbines used distributed power production, numerical modeling of
wet steam flow, collapse behavior of cavitation bubble, and visualization of cavitation
flow. The subsequent fourth part provides a platform to share knowledge about the
simulation and computer applications in mechanical engineering. Lastly, section five is
a collection of articles that investigate modern education methods and engineering
projects in mechanical engineering.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of the authors for their
contributions. The successful completion of the book Mechanical Engineering has been

the result of the cooperation of many people. I would like to thank the Publishing
Process Manager Ms. Leda Bace for her support during the publishing process, as well
as Mr. Metin Ertufan for inviting me to be the editor of this book.
