Table of ContentsContents with specific details of the new material Introduction More emphasis on the international nature of the qualification and the reasons for studying science within engineering IS units and common terms General update and include additional ideas especially for the new combined steam and motor propulsion systems. Review test examples Heat Change and update the text to explain about the nature of heat to international students. Thermal expansion Practical examples to help the international students understand the concepts. Check carefully the worked examples Heat transfer Update Figure 4.6 for clarity. Check through all example problems and solutions and update where required Law of perfect gasses Update/expand wording for better understanding by international students eg Fig 5.1 needs more clarity. Explain Avodagro's Law better for international students. Expand out 'Enthalpy' and 'open systems'. Check the 'Test Examples' Expansion and compression of perfect gasses Explain/expand out and/or change/update formulae such as those shown on page 86. Check all worked examples. Check page 91 - reference to state point 1 and 2' IC engines: elementary principles Expand the 'other engine cycles' such as the Miller Cycle and the Atkinson Cycle.
