Description:
This edition, include some examples and problems that are posed in English
units, but a large portion of the quantitative work presented is now in SI units. This is
consistent with most of the current generation of engineering textbooks. There are still some
subdisciplines in the thermal/fluid sciences that use English units conventionally, so it
remains necessary for students to have some familiarity with pounds, mass, slugs, feet, psi,
and so forth. Perhaps a fifth edition, if it materializes, will finally be entirely SI.
