A Handbook Of MATLAB® Programming For Mechanical Engineers

A Handbook of MATLAB® Programming for Mechanical Engineers Following are the salient features of this text: Introduction to programming tools to solve engineering problems. Explanation of 2-D and 3-D plotting tool Programming to do differentiation and integration of transcendental equations. Programming to solve non-linear equations. Programming to do curve-fitting for experimental data. Programming to solve ordinary differential equations. Programming to solve partial differential equations. Introduction of 'pdetool' GUI to solve elliptic partial differential equations. Typical problems from turbomachinery, fluid mechanics and heat transfer subjects are solved using the MATLAB programming tools. This text can be used as a supplementary material for the courses Numerical Methods for Engineers, Advanced Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer, Finite Element Methods, Modelling and Simulation of Thermal Systems and MATLAB programming Lab.MD Irfan Ali is a Lecturer in Thermal and Aerospace Engineering Program at Adama Science and Technology University, Ethiopia.
