MECHANICAL SCIENCE
ABSTRACT
The Mechanical Science Handbook was developed to assist nuclear facility operating
contractors in providing operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff with the necessary
fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of ponents and mechanical
science. The handbook includes information on diesel engines, heat exchangers, pumps, valves, and
miscellaneous ponents. This information will provide personnel with a foundation
for understanding the construction and operation of ponents that are associated with
various DOE nuclear facility operations and maintenance.

MECHANICAL SCIENCE
OVERVIEW
The Department of Energy Fundamentals Handbook entitled Mechanical Science was
prepared as an information resource for personnel who are responsible for the operation of the
Department's nuclear facilities. Almost all processes that take place in the nuclear facilities involve
the use of mechanical equipment ponents. A basic understanding of mechanical science is
necessary for DOE nuclear facility operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff to
safely operate and maintain the facility and facility support systems. The information in the
handbook is presented to provide a foundation for applying engineering concepts to the job. This
knowledge will help personnel more fully understand the impact that their actions may have on the
safe and reliable operation of ponents and systems.
The Mechanical Science handbook consists of five modules that are contained in two
volumes. The following is a brief description of the information presented in each module of the
handbook.
Volume 1 of 2
Module 1 - Diesel Engine Fundamentals
Provides information covering the basic operating principles of 2-cycle and 4-cycle
diesel engines. Includes operation of engine governors, fuel ej
