Objectives

The fundamentals of thermodynamics, including applications of the first and second laws, enthalpy, entropy, and reversible and irreversible processes. The objectives of the course are to present a comprehensive treatment of classical thermodynamics within the framework of an engineering technology curriculum. The course prepares the student to use thermodynamics in applications typically found in professional practice.

Textbook

-“Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach” by Cengel and Boles, 7th edition (SI), McGraw Hill. Or any other edition.

Course Notes:

You will find a course pack for ENGR 251 at the Bookstore. For each course pack purchased you professor will donate $1 to the Red Cross and the Red Crescent to support the campaign against malaria. Otherwise, you can also download and print the course notes from the course website.

Graduate Attributes:

This course covers the following graduate attributes,

1. A knowledge base for engineering

Demonstrated competence in university level mathematics, natural sciences, engineering fundamentals, and specialized engineering knowledge appropriate to the program.

2. Problem analysis

An ability to use appropriate knowledge and skills to identify, formulate, analyze, and solve complex engineering problems in order to reach substantiated conclusions.

Practice Evaluation:

Two Quizzes (40% based on assigned problems) 15% (Tentatively Sep 28th and Nov 23rd)
Midterm exam 30% (Tentatively Oct. 19th)
Final exam (closed book and notes) 55%

However you must pass the final examination with a 50% grade to pass the course.

ALL exams are mandatory and ALL exams will be counted.

Any missing Quizz might be replaced by an oral theoretical examination (not necessarily covering the same topics as the quiz.)

Main Topics

Some basic classroom rules:

1-Please do not start an email with “Hi”, “Yo”. Start it with a formal salutation.

2-Never complain that work in another, far more important class is stopping you from doing your job in this course.

3-Make sure that your grandparents stop dying, all at once and during exams. Take CPR if necessary.
