Thermodynamics

xxiv | Prefacerefer the reader to end-of-chapter problems that give a brief description ofthe experiments. These experiments cover thermodynamic properties, thermodynamicprocesses, and thermodynamic laws. The Student ResourcesDVD contains complete coverage of the nine experiments. Each experimentcontains a video clip, a complete write-up including historical background,and actual data (usually in an Excel file). The results are also provided onthe website that accompanies the text, and they are password protected forinstructor use. After viewing the video and reading the write-up, the studentwill be ready to reduce the data and obtain results that directly connect withmaterial presented in the chapters. For all of the experiments the finalresults are compared against published information. Most of the experimentsgive final results that come within 10 percent or closer to these publishedvalues.Interactive Thermodynamics Tutorial: Also included on the StudentResources DVD is the Interactive Thermodynamics Tutorial developed byEd Anderson of Texas Tech University. The revised tutorial is now tieddirectly to the text with an icon to indicate when students should refer tothe tutorial to further explore specific topics such as energy balance andisentropic processes.Engineering Equation Solver (EES): Developed by Sanford Klein andWilliam Beckman from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, this softwarecombines equation-solving capability and engineering property data. EEScan do optimization, parametric analysis, and linear and nonlinear regression,and provides publication-quality plotting capabilities. Thermodynamicsand 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)Web support is provided for the book on our Online Learning Center atwww.mhhe.com/cengel.
