All the popular features of the previous editions are retained while new ones are added. With the exception of major revisions of Chapters 6 and 7 and the addition of some new sections in other chapters, the main body of the text remains largely unchanged. The most significant changes in this edition are highlighted below. Professors Çengel and Boles received the ASEE Meriam/Wiley Distinguished Author Award in 1992 in recognition of their excellence in the authorship of the first edition of this text. Michael A. Boles is Professor Emeritus of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University, where he earned his PhD in mechanical engineering and is an Alumni Distinguished Professor. Dr Boles has received numerous awards and citations for excellence as an engineering educator. He is a past recipient of the SAE Ralph R. Teetor Education Award and has been twice elected to the NCSU Academy of Outstanding Teachers. The NCSU ASME student section has consistently recognized him as the outstanding teacher of the year and the faculty member having the most impact on mechanical engineering students. In the new Chapter 9 on exergy, we eliminated the use of the symbols Φ and ψ for the specific exergies of stationary masses and flowing fluids, and replaced them with xnonflow and xflow, respectively. This change ensures consistent use of the symbols x, X, and X for the specific, total, and time rate of exergy, in parallel to their counterparts e, E, and Ė for energy and s, S, and S for entropy. Also, we have enhanced the chapter with cryogenic applications to attract attention to the tremendous work potential of substances at low temperatures, such as LNG at about −160ºC. Further, we did away with the occasional use of the traditional sign convention by replacing the expression Q – W for the net energy transfer by the heat and work in the energy balance relations by Qnet, in + Wnet, in, with the remark that a negative quantity for the net heat or work term represents output instead of input.

Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach 10e

The traditional classical, or macroscopic, approach is used throughout the text, with microscopic arguments serving in a supporting role where appropriate. This approach is more in line with the students’ intuition and makes learning the subject matter much easier. In Chap. 1, the discussions of internal energy are revised and expanded and more discussions are added on pressure measurement devices. Also, former Sec. 3-10, "Thermodynamic Aspects of Biological Systems," is moved to this chapter to expose students to this exciting topic early in the course. More discussions on physical fitness are added, including a sensible diet proposed by the authors. Boost study time. Smartbook is an adaptive, interactive eBook that boosts learning by helping students study more efficiently, highlighting where in the chapter to focus. In addition, quiz questions throughout the chapters test students’ understanding, orienting them to topics they need to review and pointing them toward additional resources until they master the content.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Hydrogen Production by a Thermochemical Cycle Based on Magnesium-Chlorine EES is particularly useful in thermodynamics problems since most property data needed for solving problems in these areas are provided by the program. For example, the steam tables are implemented such that any thermodynamic property can be obtained from a built-in function call in terms of any other properties. Similar capability is provided for all substances. EES also allows the user to enter property data or functional relationships with lookup tables, with internal functions written with EES, or with externally compiled functions written in Pascal, C, C++, or Fortran. Interesting practical problems that may have implicit solutions are often not assigned because of the mathematical complexity involved. EES allows the user to concentrate on concepts by freeing him or her from mundane chores. In the new Chapter 7, the coverage of Relative Pressure Pr and Relative Specific Volume vr used for isentropic processes of ideal gases, as well as their corresponding columns in the air tables in the Appendices (Tables A-17 and A-17E), are removed. Instead, a more versatile new entropy function s+ is defined for the first time and its values are listed in the air tables. The s+ function makes it possible to calculate the entropy change of ideal gases with variable specific heats when specific volume information is given instead of the pressure information. The existing so function together with the new s+ function allows us to do everything we could do with the functions Pr and vr, plus more.
