Is mechanical same as mechanical related?

0 Dear Sir, 02br
02br
00The 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". 02br
02br
00related: adj similar or related in quality or character 02br
00 eg: " the amateur is closely realted to the collector" 02br
02br
00synonyms: akin, kindered 02br
02br
00and the definition for similar is 02br
02br
00Similar:Related in appearance or nature; alike though not identical 02br
02br
02br
02br
02br
00sentance number one: > 02br
00> 02br
00> 02br
00>"mechanical aspects of design" and not "mecahnical related aspect of design" 02br
00>as in sentance number two below" 02br
00> 02br
00> 02br
00> 02br
00>sentance number two: > 02br
00>"They are the designers and builders of the mechanical, thermal and 02br
00>fluid-flow related aspects of all such systems, including computer and 02br
00>feedback control of complex systems." 02br
00> 02br
00>ARE the two documents the same , the related in sentance number two means 02br
00>that in the second sentance they are similar but not the same. but they 02br
00>meant to be the same? 02br
00>so is it the writers error? 02br
00> 02br
00> 02br
00> 02br
00> 02br
00> 02br
00> 02br
00>looking forward to your reply, thanking you 02br
00> 02br
00>yours sincerely, 02br

0 Hello 02br 02br 00I'm an English learner but I was trained as a plant building engineer. So please let me try to answer. " 02br 02br 00I 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, 02br
00thank 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. 02br
00Looking forward to your reply. 02br
