Automobile Mechanics 8th Edition  (English, Paperback, Giri N. K.)

Automobile Mechanics is a book by N. K. Giri that simplifies and analyses the mechanics that are a part of an automobile providing an easy understanding of the system to the readers.

Summary Of The Book

Automobile Mechanics, as the name of the book suggests, deals with all the mechanics in an automobile and its subsystems and systems in an extremely easy manner.

The principles of operation of the various components of the automobile and their descriptions are presented in the book in a simple and brief manner while treating all of the matter in a mathematical way. The reader finds it easy to understand because the working of the components has been described as a part of the total vehicle system.

Another feature of Automobile Mechanics is the fact that the book has been designed and written keeping pace with the increasing development in the field of automobile technology. This also makes the book a useful reference to cover the study requirements for an entire course for undergraduate engineering students who are pursuing a diploma or a degree in Automobile Engineering.

The book is spread over 21 chapters and begins with the very basic one – that of Introduction to Automobile. The next chapters cover an array of aspects related to an automobile ranging from the power unit to fuel and combustion to the SI engine fuel system, lubricating system, system of cooling, the body and chassis of the automobile, the wheels and tyres, clutches, transmission, steering and braking system, air conditioning system, vehicle vibration and human comfort, performance of the vehicle and so on.

What also makes Automobile Mechanics more useful is the fact that a sufficient amount of review questions along with exercises as well as solved examples have been added at regular intervals and appropriate places in the book. Also helpful is the fact that these examples have been primarily taken from several examination papers.

But those referring to the book only have to remember that since the book predominantly targets students, most of its data and matter are based on the assumption that the readers have the knowledge of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and elementary applied mechanics.
