coverage of oblique shocks and flow with heat transfer (Rayleigh flow) with

some exciting photographs and extended discussions of shock waves.

UPDATED STEAM AND REFRIGERANT-134A TABLES

The steam and refrigerant-134a tables are updated using the most current

property data from EES. Tables A-4 through A-8 and A-11 through A-13, as

well as their counterparts in English units, have all been revised. All the exam-

ples and homework problems in the text that involve steam or refrigerant-

134a are also revised to reflect the small changes in steam and refrigerant

properties. An added advantage of this update is that students will get the

same result when solving problems whether they use steam or refrigerant

properties from EES or property tables in the appendices.

OVER 300 NEW COMPREHENSIVE PROBLEMS

This edition includes over 300 new comprehensive problems that come

mostly from industrial applications. Problems whose solutions require para-

metric investigations, and thus the use of a computer, are identified by a

computer-EES icon, as before.

CONTENT CHANGES AND REORGANIZATION

The noteworthy changes in various chapters are summarized below for

those who are familiar with the previous edition.

• Chapter 1 is greatly revised, and its title is changed to “Introduction
  and Basic Concepts.” A new section Density and Specific Gravityand
  a new subsection The International Temperature Scale of 1990are
  added. The sections Forms of Energy andEnergy and the Environment
  are moved to new Chapter 2, and the Topic of Special Interest Ther-
  modynamic Aspects of Biological Systems is moved to new Chapter 4.


• The new Chapter 2 “Energy, Energy Transfer, and General Energy
  Analysis” mostly consists of the sections Forms of Energy and Energy
  and the Environment moved from Chapter 1,Energy Transfer by Heat
  and Energy Transfer by Work,and Mechanical Forms of Energyfrom
  Chapter 3,The First Law of Thermodynamicsfrom Chapter 4, and
  Energy Conversion Efficienciesfrom Chapter 5. The Topic of Special
  Interest in this chapter is Mechanisms of Heat Transfermoved from
  Chapter 3.


• Chapter 3 “Properties of Pure Substance” is essentially the previous
  edition Chapter 2, except that the last three sections on specific heats
  are moved to new Chapter 4.


• Chapter 4 “Energy Analysis of Closed Systems” consists of Moving
  Boundary Work from Chapter 3, sections on Specific Heatsfrom
  Chapter 2, and Energy Balance for Closed Systems from Chapter 4.
  Also, the Topic of Special Interest Thermodynamic Aspects of Biolog-
  ical Systems is moved here from Chapter 1.


• Chapter 5 “Mass and Energy Analysis of Control Volumes” consists
  of Mass Balance for Control Volumesand Flow Work and the Energy
  of a Flowing Fluidfrom Chapter 3 and the sections on Energy
  Balance for Steady- and Unsteady-Flow Systems from Chapter 4. The
