End Pages, Charts, and Tables

• If you have an e-book or a library copy that has been re-covered, you don't have the end pages. For a printable copy, click here.
• If you just need the steam tables and don't want to carry the entire book to class, click here.
• If you just need the refrigerant charts and tables and don't want to carry the entire book to class, click here. Includes saturated property tables for methane and propane and a T-S diagram for H2O.FYI: Foxit Reader is free and allows you to draw lines on the charts to help read them easier.
