Science before the Medieval Period

Rao, J. S.

Pages: 5 –7

[Greeks took the elementary mathematics of the Egyptians and developed it into tools to serve the physicist and the engineer of the day. About 600 BC geometry from Egypt was imported and Greeks began to develop it and arithmetic into separate branches of mathematical science. In the next several...

Water Wheels

Rao, J. S.

Pages: 9 –12

[In all likelihood, the earliest tools employed by humankind for crushing or grinding seeds, nuts, and other food-stuffs consisted of little more than a flat rock, upon which the material was crushed by pounding with a stone or tree branch. The archaeological records show that as early as 30,000...

Wind Mills

Rao, J. S.

Pages: 13 –14

[Over 5,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians used wind to sail ships on the Nile River. While the proliferation of water mills was in full swing, windmills appeared to harness more inanimate energy by employing wind sails. The wind wheel of Heron of Alexandria marks one of the first known...

Renaissance and Scientific Revolution

Rao, J. S.

Pages: 15 –21

[Technology has been traditionally the realm of craftsmen working by rough rules of trial and error. The existing knowledge base was a mass of confusion in the absence of a unified understanding of the behavioral motion of solids and fluids [7, 31, 35]. The man of knowledge was a natural...

Rao, J. S.

Pages: 23 –30

[Medieval and Renaissance Europe possessed only one effective heat engine, the combustion engine in the form of the cannon (Figure 6.1) [1].]

Turbomachines

Rao, J. S.

Pages: 35 –43

[During the 2nd century BC, Hero demonstrated the principle of a reaction turbine, but could not realize any useful work. Despite the scientific revolution followed by the industrial revolution, James Watt, while attempting to build a steam turbine, came to the conclusion that it could not be...

Fundamentals of Elasticity

Rao, J. S.

Pages: 45 –47

[Fundamentals of Theory of Elasticity or physics of deformable bodies were established during the scientific revolution. Engineers would call these deformable bodies as structures. Hooke’s law was discovered in 1660. Robert Hooke (1635–1703) was an English physicist. His important law of...

Energy Methods

Rao, J. S.

Pages: 49 –98

[The fundamental principle in Physics is that the energy in the Universe is conserved; it can change in form but cannot be created or destroyed. Energy can be in various forms, important of these forms for vibration and rotor dynamics study is kinetic energy and potential energy (strain energy)....
