Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The primary aim of this book is to provide the necessary scientific principles for NVQ students specialising in motor vehicle engineering at levels 2 and 3. Unlike many other engineering science texts, it emphasises the topics most useful to vehicle engineers, and includes numerous real-life examples, with questions directly related to cars, motor cycles and commercial vehicles.
Includes index.
Introduction -- Forces -- Distortion of materials -- Motion -- Work, energy and power -- Thermodynamics -- Control and instrumentation -- Basic electricity -- Metals -- Problem answers.
CIT Module AUTO 6006 - Supplementary reading.
CIT Module AUTO 6018 - Core reading.
