refer the reader to end-of-chapter problems that give a brief description of
the experiments. These experiments cover thermodynamic properties, ther-
modynamic processes,and thermodynamic laws.The Student Resources
DVD contains complete coverage of the nine experiments. Each experiment
contains a video clip, a complete write-up including historical background,
and actual data (usually in an Excel file). The results are also provided on
the website that accompanies the text, and they are password protected for
instructor use. After viewing the video and reading the write-up, the student
will be ready to reduce the data and obtain results that directly connect with
material presented in the chapters. For all of the experiments the final
results are compared against published information. Most of the experi-
ments give final results that come within 10 percent or closer to these pub-
lished values.Interactive Thermodynamics Tutorial: Also included on the Student
Resources DVD is the Interactive Thermodynamics Tutorial developed by
Ed Anderson of Texas Tech University. The revised tutorial is now tied
directly to the text with an icon to indicate when students should refer to
the tutorial to further explore specific topics such as energy balance and
isentropic processes.Engineering Equation Solver (EES):Developed by Sanford Klein and
William Beckman from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, this software
combines equation-solving capability and engineering property data. EES
can do optimization, parametric analysis, and linear and nonlinear regres-
sion, and provides publication-quality plotting capabilities. Thermodynam-
ics and transport properties for air, water, and many other fluids are built in,
and EES allows the user to enter property data or functional relationships.ONLINE LEARNING CENTER (OLC)
