A.1: Introduction to EES
This extended section of the book can be found on the website www.cambridge.org/nellisandklein. EES (pronounced ease ) is an acronym for Engineering Equation Solver. The basic function provided by EES is the numerical solution of non-linear algebraic and differential equations. EES is an equation-solver, rather than a programming language, since it does not require the user to enter instructions for iteratively solving non-linear equations. EES provides capability for unit checking of equations, parametric studies, optimization, uncertainty analyses, and high-quality plots. It provides array variables that can be used in finite-difference calculations. In addition, EES provides high-accuracy thermodynamic and transport property functions for many fluids and solid materials that can be integrated with the equations. The combination of these capabilities together with an extensive library of heat transfer functions, discussed throughout this text, makes EES a very powerful tool for solving heat transfer problems. This appendix provides a tutorial that will allow you to become familiar with EES.
A.2: Introduction to Maple
This extended section of the book can be found on the website www.cambridge.org/nellisandklein. Maple is an application that can be used to solve algebraic and differential equations. Maple has the ability to do mathematics in symbolic form and therefore it can determine the analytical solution to algebraic and differential equations. Maple provides a very convenient mathematical reference; if, for example, you ve forgotten that the derivative of sine is cosine, it is easy to use Maple to quickly provide this information. Maple can replace numerous...
