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
