Applications in bioengineering, biomedical systems, and nanotechnology also continue to emerge. This book provides the tools needed by specialists working in all such fields. For non-specialists, this book provides back￾ground for making decisions about technology related to thermodynamics—on the job and as informed citizens. Engineers in the twenty-first century need a solid set of analytical and problem-solving skills as the founda￾tion for tackling important societal issues relating to engineering thermodynamics. The seventh edition develops these skills and significantly expands our cov￾erage of their applications to provide • current context for the study of thermodynamic principles. • relevant background to make the subject meaningful for meeting the challenges of the decades ahead. • significant material related to existing technologies in light of new challenges. In the seventh edition, we build on the core features that have made the text the global leader in engineer￾ing thermodynamics education. (The present discussion of core features centers on new aspects; see the Preface to the sixth edition for more.) We are known for our clear and concise explanations grounded in the funda￾mentals, pioneering pedagogy for effective learning, and relevant, up-to-date applications. Through the cre￾ativity and experience of our newly expanded author team, and based on excellent feedback from instructors and students, we continue to enhance what has become the leading text in the field. New in the Seventh Edition In a major departure from previous editions of this book and all other texts intended for the same student population, we have introduced animations that strengthen students’ understanding of basic phenom￾ena and applications. The seventh edition also fea￾tures a crisp new interior design aimed at helping students • better understand and apply the subject matter, and • fully appreciate the relevance of the topics to engi￾neering practice and to society. This edition also provides, inside the front cover under the heading How to Use This Book Effectively, an updated roadmap to core features of this text that make it so effective for student learning. To fully understand all of the many features we have built into the book, be sure to see this important element. In this edition, several enhancements to improve stu￾dent learning have been introduced or upgraded: • New animations are offered at key subject matter locations to improve student learning. When view￾ing the animations, students will develop deeper understanding by visualizing key processes and phenomena. • Special text elements feature important illustra￾tions of engineering thermodynamics applied to our environment, society, and world: • New ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT presenta￾tions explore topics related to energy resource use and environmental issues in engineering. • Updated BIOCONNECTIONS discussions tie textbook topics to contemporary applications in biomedicine and bioengineering. • Additional Horizons features have been included that link subject matter to thought￾provoking 21st century issues and emerging technologies. Suggestions for additional reading and sources for topical content presented in these elements provided on request. • End-of-Chapter problems in each of the three modes: conceptual, skill building, and design have been extensively revised and hundreds of new problems added. Preface Professors Moran and Shapiro are delighted to wel￾come two new co-authors for the seventh edition of Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics. Dr. Daisie D. Boettner, PE, professor of mechanical engineering at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and Dr. Margaret B. Bailey, PE, professor of mechanical engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology, bring outstanding experience in engi￾neering education, research, and service to the team. Their perspectives enrich the presentation and build upon our existing strengths in exciting new ways.
