Reeds Vol 3

Contents 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. Update drawings and diagnostics of engine faults. Increase thermal efficiency explanation IC engine cycles Expand the detailed explanations of different IC engine cycles. Check test examples Reciprocating air compressors Update drawings and text for international students. Check the test examples. Steam Update the Waste heat recovery system. Update/change the section on ‘Steam Tables’ (This is a significant change and needs careful consideration as published ‘steam tables’ are no longer available and the online versions are not straight forward to follow). Check test examples Entropy Definition of the word ‘abscissae’ and more of an explanation of ‘Entropy’ for the international students Turbines Expand the explanation of the modern use of steam and gas turbines for the production of electrical power in the latest ‘Hybrid’ power systems. Boilers and combustion Expand ‘combustion’ to include the latest ‘Selective Catalytic Reduction’ (SCR) technology for the reduction of harmful emissions in Diesel Exhaust. Refrigeration Increase the detail about the modern refrigerants and change all the worked examples over to include the modern gasses. Worked examples Check all the steps in the calculation to ensure that International Students will be able to follow each one easily
