Thermodynamics II.

Oklahoma State University MAE 3223.001 (CID 14303) Spring 2006

Course Objectives:

• To understand the fundamental physics of thermal systems;
• To develop skills required for engineers working on devices involving energy; and
• To prepare for follow-on courses in Gas Power Systems, Vapor Power Systems, Design of Indoor Environmental Systems, and Advanced Thermodynamics.

Expected Outcomes: Students will receive problem-solving practice encompassing:

1. Applying mathematical and physical reasoning to problems involving heat and power;
2. Devising experiments;
3. Designing thermal systems;
4. Cooperation with others (on design problems);
5. Formulating engineering problems;
6. Working to professional standards; and
7. Reporting results and conclusions appropriately.

8. Understanding the broader context and impact of engineering solutions;
9. Using the tools of continuing learning;
10. Relating engineering to contemporary issues;and
11. Using the tools of engineering practice.

Textbook: Michael J. Moran & H.N. Shapiro, Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics, 5th edition, Wiley, N.Y. 2004, ISBN 0-471-27471-2

Prerequisites: ENSC 2213 Thermodynamics.

Course Content: A continuation of ENSC 2213. Irreversibility and availability, power cycles, refrigeration cycles, mixtures and solutions, chemical reactions, phase and chemical equilibrium, and introduction to compressible flow.

Course Conduct: The course will be conducted in a traditional lecture format. Questions and class discussion relating to lectures, reading, and homework are encouraged. Civility, courtesy, and promptness are required (set your watch with time.gov).

Examinations: There will be three "one-hour" tests and one "two-hour" final. No make-up tests will be given except in extreme circumstances, and then only upon arrangement prior to the scheduled exam.

• All examinations will be closed-book and closed-notes, unless otherwise announced.
• Academic Dishonesty: Looking at others' papers, exchanging information, or using forbidden resources during a test is considered cheating and will result in a grade reduction in the course - to "F" for a serious infraction.

Absences: This Syllabus is tentative. Each student is responsible for obtaining changes and additional information announced in class: homework assignments, test dates, schedule changes, modifications of the Syllabus, lecture notes, etc., and for being present at all examinations.

Homework: Assignments will be due before the beginning of class on the due date. No late homework can be accepted.

• For Textbook Problems:
1. the approach, equation, or method of solution must be stated at the beginning;
2. a sketch must be drawn, identifying system boundaries and numbered stations;
3. the algebraic solution should precede the insertion of numerical values;
4. numerical values must be accompanied by units;
5. the final answer must be identified by a box or underline; and
6. the final answer must be rounded off to the appropriate number of significant figures (usually 3).
• For design projects, the material must be presented in a professional manner.
• Academic Dishonesty: Handing in homework copied from others work, from files, or from stolen solutions manuals as one's own work is plagiarism, and will lead to a reduction in grade. Please note that learning through oral discussion is encouraged, but having others do your work for you is counterproductive. If you start solving a problem yourself, and then discuss it orally with others, you are learning. If you look at a file solution before you start solving the problem, you are approaching the unethical. Paraphrasing without giving a reference is still plagiarism.

Grading: There will be weekly assignments, three one-hour Tests and a Final Exam. They will count toward the grade as follows:

for a possible 700 points. Letter grades will be based on the distribution of scores.

Drop & Add Policy: Substantive lectures begin on the very first day of class (Monday 1/9/2006); students adding the course late must make up the missed material through independent study. Until Tuesday, 1/17/2006, a student may drop the course with no record on his transcript. Other critical dates are listed on page 4 of the Class Schedule.
Rules for grade assignment are given on pages 17 to 18 of the University Catalog. The grade of "I" will not be given to students preparing to repeat the course. A student may not drop a course in which a formal charge of academic dishonesty is pending.
