About Book:

      It is indeed a great pleasure and proud privilege for me to present this treatise on ‘Design of Transmission Systems, to the immediate benefit of Mechanical engineering students who are taking Anna University Examinations. This book is written in tune with the latest syllabus of Anna University and I have taken the syllabus as a guide for the organization of this book.

Engineering students require a treatment of Design of Transmission Systems’ embracing principles, practice and problem solving. This text meets all three needs in a way that both students and teachers will find very useful. The exhaustive coverage of the subject is fully supported by self-explanatory diagrams, worked examples, and exercise problems. These help to clarify the text and consolidate learning. The special feature of the text is, all the design procedures are written based on the Design Data Book formulas and tables. Each chapter has been written as a self-contained unit enabling this book to be used as self-study manual.

I take this opportunity to extend my heartiest thanks to all my colleagues, friends, students and well wishers for their suggestions and constant support. I also wish to acknowledge with thanks the efforts of Er. A. Durai and Lakshmi Publications for bringing out this book in a record time. Special thanks to Ms. D. Shobana – Himalaya Graphics, who is responsible for the grand look of this text.
