This book&;s time-tested organization and clear explanations start with the basics to help you quickly get up to speed on common mechanical engineering concepts. Together, the 75 chapters provide an in-depth review of the PE Mechanical exam topics and the NCEES Handbook. Michael R. Lindeburg&;s Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual has undergone an intensive transformation in this 14th edition to ensure focused study for success on the 2020 NCEES computer-based tests (CBT). As of April 2020, exams are offered year-round at approved Pearson Vue testing centers. The only resource examinees can use during the test is the NCEES PE Mechanical Reference Handbook . To succeed on exam day, you need to know how to solve problems using that resource. The Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual, 14th Edition makes that connection for you by using only NCEES equations in the review and problem solving. Topics Covered Fluids Thermodynamics Power Cycles Heat Transfer HVAC Statics Materials Machine Design Dynamics and Vibrations Control Systems Plant Engineering Economics Law and Ethics Key Features Improved design to focus study on most important PE exam material Explanations and demonstration of how to use NCEES handbook equations NCEES handbook equations are highlighted in blue for quick access In chapter callouts map to the specific PE exam to streamline review process Extensive index contains thousands of entries, with multiple entries included for each topic Binding: Hardcover Publisher: PPI, A Kaplan Company Review: Not worth it - It is not a great book as it has all 3 mechanical majors so it's hard to focus on the relevant topics. Bought it and returned it back. Thanks for desertcart's excellent customer service though. Review: Here, this one, get this one. No seriously, stop shopping around and just get this one. - I took the April 2017 Mechanical Engineering Thermal and Fluid Systems exam...and passed! This is THE book to get if you are planning on taking the PE exam. After reading several reviews, I decided that the price was worth it, so I bought the reference manual itself, along with the accompanying question and answer soft cover book. I spent about seven months reading through the entirety of the book and performing about 95% of the study problems. I stayed away from most of the questions that said that they would take at least an hour to solve since I thought they would be outside the realm of what I would have to do on the exam. Granted, they are good if you have the time. All-in-all I used about 400 pages of engineering paper working problems out. I only solved the problems in English units, primarily because I felt more comfortable with SI, so I figured it wouldn't be that big of a stretch to solve an SI based problem. I also did not work out the problems from the Plant Operations and Management section, but I did read through those chapters. They did expose me to many aspects of Mechanical Engineering that I had little to no experience with, so it was definitely worth it from a learning perspective. Some reviewers have said to skip over the first 13 chapters since they are just background skills, but I did go through them and learned a thing or two along the way. I did end up taking a few extra books with me to the exam, although it was wholly unnecessary. I also printed out a few engineering codes that I was able to find online, but again I didn't need any of those. I would have been fine bringing only this book and a calculator. I thought that the morning session was actually pretty straight forward. The afternoon session was a bit more challenging, but I finished both sections with 45 minutes to an hour left on the clock. The extensive study beforehand really paid off. While the book does a great job of giving you usable equations, I would not recommend relying on just finding a "plug and chug" solution to every problem. If you understand how systems actually work, you can solve every problem relatively quickly. If you find yourself using an erf function, you're probably overthinking the solution. Bottom line, if you want to pass the exam with style, get this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 2,463,681 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3,708 in Mechanical & Materials Engineering 5,978 in Engineering & Technology References 202,455 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 245 Reviews | ## Images ![PE Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714OzSpas9S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not worth it *by K***R on 24 February 2022* It is not a great book as it has all 3 mechanical majors so it's hard to focus on the relevant topics.
