NEW TO THIS EDITION

• Learning Objectives Each chapter now begins with an overview of the material to be covered and chapter-specific learning objectives to introduce the material and to set goals.
• An early introduction to the First Law of Thermodynamics (Chapter 2) establishes a general understanding of energy, mechanisms of energy transfer, and the concept of energy balance, thermo-economics, and conversion efficiency.
• Separate Coverage Of Closed System And Control Volume Energy Analyses The energy analysis of closed systems is now presented in a separate chapter (Chapter 5), and the conservation of mass is covered together with conservation of energy in another chapter (Chapter 6).
• A New Chapter On Fluid Kinematics The all new Chapter 11 covers topics related to fluid kinematics, such as the Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions of fluid flows, flow patterns, and flow visualization.
• Updated Steam and Refrigerant-134a Tables The steam and refrigerant-134a tables are updated using the most current property data from EES. Students will now get the same result when solving problems whether they use properties from EES or property tables in the Appendices.
