Is mechanical same as mechanical related?
0 Dear Sir, 02 br
02 br
00 The following problem eludes me. Could you please help me out. I think sentance number one is similar but not the same as sentance number two due to the additional word "related" am i right in thinking so . THe thing is the fisrt sentance here which says "mecahnical aspects" is different from the second where it is written "mechanical related aspects"i found form the web a definition of related which says related means similar and similar means alike but not identical so the mecahnical "realted "aspects are similar but not identical to "mecahnical aspects". 02 br
02 br
00 related: adj similar or related in quality or character 02 br
00 eg: " the amateur is closely realted to the collector" 02 br
02 br
00 synonyms: akin, kindered 02 br
02 br
00 and the definition for similar is 02 br
02 br
00 Similar:Related in appearance or nature; alike though not identical 02 br
02 br
02 br
02 br
02 br
00 sentance number one: > 02 br
00 > 02 br
00 > 02 br
00 >"mechanical aspects of design" and not "mecahnical related aspect of design" 02 br
00 >as in sentance number two below" 02 br

00 >fluid-flow related aspects of all such systems, including computer and 02 br

0 Hello 02 br 02 br 00 I'm an English learner but I was trained as a plant building engineer. So please let me try to answer. " 02 br 02 br 00 I take "the mechanical, thermal and fluid-flow related aspects" as "the mechanical aspect (like engines, conveyors), the thermal aspect (like furnace, boilers), and the fluid-flow related aspect (plumbing, pumps)".

0 Dear Sir, 02 br
00 thank you for your informative reply however I dont think "related" stands only for fluid flow, i think it stands for mechanical and thermal and fluid flow. 02 br
00 Looking forward to your reply. 02 br
