This book covers a variety of topics in mechanics with a special emphasis to fluid mechanics
and energy transfer. Chapters are based on selected contributions presented during the Algerian
Congress of Mechanics (CAM 2017) held on November 26 - 30 2017 in Constantine Algeria. The
book covers theoretical analysis modeling and numerical treatment of performance-related
problems of new refrigeration systems heating and cooling. It reports on experimental research
to solve problems related to the flow of microfluids and relevant applications in the areas of
chemical engineering biochemistry biomedicine and renewable energy. Further topics include
methods for maintenance of mechanical structures strength wear fracture damage and life of
structures and image processing solutions for the design and 3D manufacturing of mechanical
parts. Improvement control and regulation of urban road traffic are also discussed in this
book thus offering a comprehensive practice-oriented reference guide for academics and
professionals.
