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.
- Theory and questions all set in an automotive context
- Theory followed by worked examples and graded questions to aid learning
- Up-to-date with current technology
Students taking NVQ level 3 in motor vehicle engineering. Also those taking a GNVQ advanced course in engineering.
Part 1: Introduction - SI systems * Exam questions * Part 2: Mechanics - Mass, density and volume * Force * Friction * Moments * Stress and Strain * Frameworks * Bending * Torsion * Motion * Centripetal and centrifugal action * Simple harmonic motion * Energy * Part 3: Thermofluids - Introduction * Pressure * Heat * Gas laws * S F E E * Fluids * Part 4: Systems - System modelling * Instrumentation * Tools and equipment * Part 5: Chemistry - Electrochemistry * Materials * Part 6: Basic Electricity * Index.
