Thermodynamics 101
COURSE INTRODUCTION
Department: Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Course: Thermodynamics – I (ME 131)
Credit Hours: 3-0
Course Description:
Thermodynamics-I is one of the engineering foundation courses. This course deals with work / energy and their interaction. It is designed to attain knowledge about laws of thermodynamics and their application in thermal engineering. This course provides a foundation for subsequent major engineering courses like Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics II, Heat and Mass Transfer and many more. The knowledge gained during the course is applied to heat / refrigeration cycles and thermodynamic work and energy balance for open and closed systems.
Pre-Requisites: Nil
Text Book: “Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach”, 6th edition by Yunus. A. Cengel and Michael. A. Boles, McGraw Hill.
References: • “Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics”, 5th edition by Michael. J. and Howard N. Shapiro, John Wiley & Sons. • “Fundamentals of Thermodynamics”, 6th edition by Sonntang, Borgnakke, Van Wylen, John Wiley & Sons.
Instructor: Omer Khan MS (Fluid Dynamics) Room # 105
Course Duration:
This course will span over 16 weeks with 3-0 hours per week.
Assessment / Evaluation:
The course will include multiple unannounced quizzes, one mid semester exam and 5-6 Assignments. A comprehensive final examination will be set at the end of the course. Evaluation will carried out based on flowing criteria: Assignments 05 - 15% Quizzes 15 - 20% Mid Semester Exam 30 – 40 % End Semester Exam 40 – 50 %
