Inhaltsangabe

Contents with specific details of the new material Introduction More
emphasis on the international nature of the qualification and the reasons
for studying science within engineering IS units and common terms General
update and include additional ideas especially for the new combined steam
and motor propulsion systems. Review test examples Heat Change and update
the text to explain about the nature of heat to international students.
Thermal expansion Practical examples to help the international students
understand the concepts. Check carefully the worked examples Heat transfer
Update Figure 4.6 for clarity. Check through all example problems and
solutions and update where required Law of perfect gasses Update/expand
wording for better understanding by international students eg Fig 5.1 needs
more clarity. Explain Avodagro's Law better for international students.
Expand out 'Enthalpy' and 'open systems'. Check the 'Test Examples'
Expansion and compression of perfect gasses Explain/expand out and/or
change/update formulae such as those shown on page 86. Check all worked
examples. Check page 91 - reference to state point 1 and 2' IC engines:
elementary principles Expand the 'other engine cycles' such as the Miller
Cycle and the Atkinson Cycle. Update drawings and diagnostics of engine
faults. Increase thermal efficiency explanation IC engine cycles Expand the
detailed explanations of different IC engine cycles. Check test examples
Reciprocating air compressors Update drawings and text for international
students. Check the test examples. Steam Update the Waste heat recovery
system. Update/change the section on 'Steam Tables' (This is a significant
change and needs careful consideration as published 'steam tables' are no
longer available and the online versions are not straight forward to
follow). Check test examples Entropy Definition of the word 'abscissae' and
more of an explanation of 'Entropy' for the international students Turbines
Expand the explanation of the modern use of steam and gas turbines for the
production of electrical power in the latest 'Hybrid' power systems.
Boilers and combustion Expand 'combustion' to include the latest 'Selective
Catalytic Reduction' (SCR) technology for the reduction of harmful
emissions in Diesel Exhaust. Refrigeration Increase the detail about the
modern refrigerants and change all the worked examples over to include the
modern gasses. Worked examples Check all the steps in the calculation to
ensure that International Students will be able to follow each one easily
