We've added a collection of thermal engineering applications to the Application Center. You could think of it as an e-book.

This collection has a few features that I think are pretty neat

• The applications are collected together in a Workbook; a single file gives you access to 30 applications
• You can navigate the contents using the Navigator or a hyperlinked table of contents
• You can change working fluids and operating conditions, while still using accurate thermophysical data

If you don't have Maple 2016, you can view and navigate the applications (and interactive with a few) using the free Player.

The collection includes these applications.

• Psychrometric Modeling
  • Swamp Cooler
  • Adiabatic Mixing of Air
  • Human Comfort Zone
  • Dew Point and Wet Bulb Temperature
  • Interactive Psychrometric Chart
• Thermodynamic Cycles
  • Ideal Brayton Cycle
  • Optimize a Rankine Cycle
  • Efficiency of a Rankine Cycle
  • Turbine Analysis
  • Organic Rankine Cycle
  • Isothermal Compression of Methane
  • Adiabatic Compression of Methane
• Refrigeration
  • COP of a Refrigeration Cycle
  • Flow Through an Expansion Valve
  • Food Refrigeration
  • Rate of Refrigerant Boiling
  • Refrigeration Cycle Analysis 1
  • Refrigeration Cycle Analysis 2
• Miscellaneous
  • Measurement Error in a Manometer
  • Particle Falling Through Air
  • Saturation Temperature of Fluids
  • Water Fountain
  • Water in Piston
• Heat Transfer
  • Dittus-Boelter Correlation
  • Double Pipe Heat Exchanger
  • Energy Needed to Vaporize Ethanol
  • Heat Transfer Coefficient Across a Flat Plate
• Vapor-Liquid Equilibria
  • Water-Ethanol

I have a few ideas for more themed Maple application collections. Data analysis, anyone?
