Moran`s Principles of Engineering Thermodynamics SI (Paperback)

In this edition, Several enhancements to improve student learning have been introduced or upgraded:
• The p-h diagrams for two refrigerants: C02 (R-744) and R-410A are included as Figs. A-10 and A-11, respectively, in the appendix. The ability to locate states on property diagrams is an important skill that is used selectively in end-of-chapter problems.
• Animations are offered at key subject matter locations to improve student learning. When viewing the animations, students will develop deeper understanding by visualizing key processes and phenomena.
• Special text elements feature important illustrations of engineering thermodynamics applied to our environment, society, and world:
––Energy & Environment presentations explore topics related to energy resource use and environmental issues in engineering.
––BioConnections discussions tie textbook topics to contemporary applications in biomedicine and bioengineering.
––Horizons features have been included that link subject matter to thought-provoking 21st-century issues and emerging technologies.
Suggestions for additional reading and sources for topical content presented in these elements provided on request.
• End-of-chapter problems in each of the four modes: conceptual, checking understanding, skill building, and design have been extensively revised.
• New and revised class-tested material contributes to student learning and instructor effectiveness:
––Significant content explores how thermodynamics contributes to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
––Key aspects of fundamentals and applications within the text have been enhanced.
• In response to instructor and student needs, class-tested changes that contribute to a more just-in-time presentation have been introduced:
––TAKE NOTE... entries in the margins are expanded throughout the textbook to improve student learning. For example, see Section 1.2.3.
––Boxed materlai allows students and instructors to explore topics in greater depth. For example, see Section 3.5.2.
––Margin terms throughout aid in navigating subject matter.
