The first part of the book has been written according to the syllabus for Heat Engine in civil, electrical and mechanical courses of diploma institutes and several useful chapters relating to general mechanical engineering have been incorporated in the second part with a view to fully include the topics of mechanical engineering as are taught to civil engineering students. Though British system has not been ignored, metric system has been followed in the book wherever necessary. We have deliberately refrained from making a complete change as it would be inconvenient for student to understand such change at this stage. Necessary tables and formulae published by the Indian Standard Institution have been incorporated in the proper place to get the students acquainted with Indian Standards.
