19、drain or irrigate land and by ventilatingmines.The ubiquitous refrigerating and air-conditioning plants of the modem age are based ona reversed heat engine,where the supply of power pumps heat from the cold region to thewarmer exterior.Manyoftheproductsofmechanicalengineering,togetherwithtechnologic

20、aldevelopments in other fields,have side effects on the environment and give rise to noise,thepollution of water and air,and the dereliction of land and scenery.The rate of production,bothof goods and power,is rising so rapidly that regeneration by natural forces can no longer keeppace.A rapidly gro

21、wing field for mechanical engineers and others is environmental control,comprising the development of machines and processes that will produce fewer pollutants andof new equipment and techniques that can reduce or remove the pollution already generated.Functions of Mechanical EngineeringFour functio

22、ns of the mechanical engineering,common to all the fields mentioned,arecited.The first is the understanding of and dealing with the bases of mechanical science.These3include dynamics,concerning the relation between forces and motion,such as in vibration;automatic control;thermodynamics,dealing with

23、the relations among the various forms of heat,energy,and power;fluid flow;heat transfer;lubrication;and properties of materials.Second is the sequence of research,design,and development.This function attempts tobring about the changes necessary to meet present and future needs.Such work requires not

24、only a dear understanding of mechanical science and an ability to analyze a complex systeminto its basic factors,but also the originality to synthesize and invent.Third is production of products and power,which embraces planning,operation,andmaintenance.The goal is to produce the maximum value with

25、the minimum investment andcost while maintaining or enhancing longer term viability and reputation of the enterprise or theinstitution.Fourth is the coordinating functioning of the mechanical engineering,includingmanagement,consulting,and,in some cases,marketing.In all of these functions there is a

26、long continuing trend toward the use of scientific insteadof traditional or intuitive methods,an aspect of the ever-growing professionalism of mechanicalengineering.Operations research,value engineering,and PABLA(problem analysis by logicalapproach)are typical titles of such new rationalized approac

27、hes.Creativity,however,cannot berationalized.The ability to take the important and unexpected step that opens up new solutionsremains in mechanical engineering,as elsewhere,largely a personal and spontaneouscharacteristic.The Future of Mechanical EngineeringThe number of mechanical engineers continu

28、es to grow as rapidly as ever,while theduration and quality of their training increases.There is a growing:awareness,however,among engineers and in the community at large that the exponential increase in populationand living standards is raising formidable problems inpollutionof the environment andt

29、he exhaustion of natural resources;this clearly heightens the need for all of the technicalprofessions to consider the long-term social effects of discoveries and developments.-Therewill be an increasing demand for mechanical engineering skills to provide for mans needswhile reducing to a minimum th

30、e consumption of scarce raw materials and maintaining asatisfactory environment.Introduction to DesignThe Meaning of DesignTo design is to formulate a plan for the satisfaction of a human need.The particular needto be satisfied may be quite well defined from the beginning.Here are two examples in wh

31、ichneeds are well defined:1.How can we obtain large quantities of power cleanly,safely,and economical/withoutusing fossil fuels and without damaging the surface of the earth?2.This gear shaft is giving trouble;there have been eight failures in the last six weeks.Dosomething about it.4On the other ha

32、nd,the statement of a particular need to be satisfied may be so nebulousand ill defined that a considerable amount of thought and effort is necessary in(order to stateit dearly as a problem requiring a solution.Here are two examples.-1.Lots of people are killed in airplane accidents.2.In big cities

33、there are too many automobiles on the streets and highways.This second type of design situation is characterized by the fact that neither the need northe problem to be solved has been identified.Note,too,that the situation may contain not oneproblem but many.We can classify design,too.For instance,w

34、e speak of:1.Clothing design7.Bridge design2.Interior design8.Computer-aided design3.Highway design9.Heating system design.4.Landscape design10.Machine design5.Building design11.Engineering design6.Ship design12.Process designIn fact,there are an endless number,since we can classify design according

35、 to theparticular article or product or according to the professional field,In contrast to scientific or mathematical problems,design problems have no uniqueanswers;it is absurd,for example,to request the correct answer to a design problem,becausethere is none.In fact,a good answer today may well tu

36、rn out to be a poor answer tomorrow,if there is a growth of knowledge during the period or if there are other structural or societalchanges.Almost everyone is Involved with design in one way or another,even in dally living,because problems are posed and situations arise which must be solved.A design

37、 problem is nota hypothetical problem at all.Design has an authentic purposethe creation of an end result bytaking definite action,or the creation of something having physical reality.In engineering,theword design conveys different meanings to different persons.Some think of a designer as onewho emp

38、loys the drawing board to draft the details of a gear,clutch,or other machine member.Others think of design as the creation of a complex system,such as a communications network.In some areas of engineering the word design has been replaced by other terms such as systemsengineering or applied decisio

39、n theory.But no matter what words are used to describe thedesign function,in engineering it is still the process in which scientific principles and the toolsof engineeringmathematics,computers,graphics,and Englishare used to produce a planwhich,when carried out,will satisfy a human need.Mechanical E

40、ngineering Design5Mechanical design means die design of things and systems of a mechanical naturemachines,products,structures,devices,and instruments.For the most part,mechanical designutilizes mathematics,the materials sciences,and the engineering-mechanics sciences.Mechanical engineering design in

41、cludes all mechanical design,but it is a broader study,because it includes all the disciplines of mechanical engineering,such as the thermal and fluidssciences,too.Aside from the fundamental sciences that are required,the first studies inmechanical engineering design are in mechanical design.The Pha

42、ses of DesignThe complete process,from start to finish.The process W begins with a recognition of aneed and a decision to do something about it.After much iteration,the process ends with thepresentation of the plans for satisfying the need.Design ConsiderationsSometimes the strength required of an e

43、lement in a system is an important factor in thedetermination of the geometry and the dimensions of the element.In such a situation we saythat strength is an important design consideration.When we use the expression designconsideration,we are referring to some characteristic which influences the des

44、ign of theelement or,perhaps,the entire system.Usually quite a number of such characteristics must beconsidered in a given design situation.Many of the important ones are as follows:1.Strength2.Reliability3.Thermal properties4.Corrosion5.Wear6.Friction7.Processing8.Utility9.Cost10.Safety11.Weight12.

46、oining of the elements of the system.Other considerations affectthe configuration of the total system.To keep the correct perspective,however,it should be observed that in manydesign situations the important design considerations are such that no calculations orexperiments are necessary in order to

47、define an element or system.Students,especially,are often confounded when they run into situations in which it is virtuallyimpossible to make a single calculation and yet an important design decision must bemade.These are not extraordinary occurrences at all;they happen every day.Supposethat it is d

50、inct phases in manufacturing.These phasesare as follows:input,processing,and output.The first phase includes all of the elements necessary to create a marketableproduct.First,there must be a demand or need for the product.The necessarymaterials must be(available.Also needed are such resources as ene
