These Michael R. Lindeburg, PE classics have undergone an intensive transformation to ensure focused study for success on the 2020 NCEES computer-based tests (CBT): HVAC and Refrigeration, Machine Design and Materials, and Thermal and Fluid Systems.

Starting in April 2020, exams will be offered year-round at approved Pearson Vue testing centers. The only resource examinees can use during the test will be the NCEES PE Mechanical Reference Handbook. To succeed on exam day, you need to know how to solve problems using that resource. MERM14 and MEPP14 make that connection for you by using only NCEES equations in the review and for problem solving.

How to Use the Set:

Brush up on key exam topics, learn what equations to use, and review detailed step-by-step solutions in the Reference Manual. Then go to the Mechanical Engineering Practice Problems to solve related question until you are confident with the topic. Corresponding chapters makes it easy to use both books at the same time. Buy both and save.

New Features Include:

• Improved design to focus study on most important 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 specific exam to streamline review process

The conversions you need for exam day success

Covering more than 4,500 entries on traditional English, conventional metric, and SI units found in the civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering fields. This book will come in handy during your open-book exam as well as throughout your engineering career. If you have ever struggled with converting grams to slugs, centistokes to square feet per second, or pounds per million gallons (lbm/MG) to milligrams per liter (mg/L), you will appreciate the time-saving value of this book.

Topics include:

• Conversion Factors
• Temperature Conversions
• The Elements
• Fundamental and Derived Constants
• Astronomical Data
• Greek Alphabet
• Prefixes (SI and Binary)
• Decimal Equivalents
