Steam property tables for engineering students - Steam Tables



Check it on Amazon to look inside
The present steam tables are in S.I. units. These steam tables are based on IAPWS-IF97 formulations for the properties of steam. Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of compressed liquid, saturated, superheated and supercritical steam are included. These tables are meant for engineers and students of engineering courses - thermodynamics and other courses requiring the properties of steam and water.

These tables are a fresh edition of steam tables published earlier by the author so as to be available at most leading online retailers. They are an ideal accessory for engineering students undergoing a course in classical thermodynamics. Check out the follwing Amazon link for more details and to have a look inside.

As a student of engineering thermodynamics in case you are looking for suggestions of text book and supporting material, check out the following list,

It is also a great idea to join the Amazon Student service to save money in case you look for textbooks on Amazon. Check the following link and if you can afford it order the entire list ( a must if you are a teacher or prof of the subject)  in one go in order to own the most complete library on thermodynamics,

Um. Am 68 yr old Australian. The language "English" is not always as it seems.

I guess it was about the erroneous look inside image. That has been changed now.

Hello, I am conducting research into utilizing waste heat from a wood stove to produce steam to operate a very small in-home generator to assist PV or small hydroelectric alternative power generators. I understand steam is very dangerous but with proper sensors, valves and a computer controller, isn't is possible to safely produce steam to run a small generator?

James just producing steam is not enough, it has to be of sufficiently high temperature to give reasonable efficiencies. One needs a prim mover too and there is another article in this blog describing a small gas turbine system utilized waste heat, but it is visualized at community level not home level. I am afraid at home level it would just not be economical enough. However if you were using the heat for home hot water needs, that would be excellent because then neither the efficiency nor scale factor would come in and no prime mover would be required.

On Revival of Soma plant of Rig Veda

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Path_between_sugar_canes_%285216462193%29.jpg Similar Document also available for view or download at: https://www.scribd.com/doc/290825034/On-Revival-of-Soma-plant-of-Rig-Veda Abstract An ancient plant was described as a god amongst plants in the Rig Veda, an ancient sacred text of Indo-Aryans. The proper identification of this plant has been lost to mankind since ancient times. Scholars have made several diverse attempts to identify what this plant might be but none of the proposals come near the original Soma plant. In the present note a possible identification of this plant is made with a likely extinct variety of a sugar cane plant. It is suggested how an existing varieties may be genetically modified to yield a variety close to original Soma 1. Introduction There was a plant of earth that grew around the Himalayas known as Soma. It was regarded by ancient Indo-Aryans as godly plant. Ancient Indo-Aryans...

An Exhaustive Review of WriterBay.Com - My Experience

R ecently, through a Google search, I discovered WriterBay.Com. It is an online website that provides help to anyone who might wish a written report on just about any topic, for a fee. It also provides freelance online work to anyone who may wish to undertake such work. I applied to this website and have been with them for about a week at the time of writing this review. This review is based on my experience with them in this period. Before writing this post, I grappled with the question if I should write a review at all because it has criticism. However, I decided in favor writing it so that it would help huge number of persons who scout for freelance online work as well as numerous students that approach this website for help. My criticism is a constructive one with suggestions for improvements. If Writer Bay took it in this light, this report shall help them to reinvent themselves into a productive outfit that helps the world rather than the other way around and the...

How to build a toilet for less than a few thousand rupees or twenty dollars – and stop open defecation

The Septic Drain T hose who live in developed countries may be surprised to learn that a large part of the human population lives without a toilet. Put crudely they simply piss and shit out in the open. In India it is estimated that half the population does that. This is all the more tragic in a country that invented toilets, bathrooms and covered drains five thousand years ago in the Indus Valley civilization ( http://alienaccount.blogspot.in/2013/09/indus-valley-and-atlantis.html ). Since then though, a lot of piss and water has passed under the bridge with a slide into poverty and decay. Aside from the inconvenience of having to run out into the fields every now and then, the phenomenon of open defecation poses some serious issues that have only increased with an increase of population density on the planet. First are health issues. When it rains the waste is washed into drains, rivulets, rivers, ponds and lakes. Water sources are then charged with disease causing bac...
