Course Description	Energy becomes a more and more important issue nowadays as the greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere reaches a warning level and the climate change becomes a real threat in our life. Thermodynamics plays an important role when energy issues are analyzed and some abatement measures are evaluated. This class aims on discussions on the basic laws of thermodynamics and elaborates the possible applications in engineering. Exergy analysis will be thoroughly explored and some cycles will be fully analyzed to grasp the main ideas in thermodynamics.

Assessment Methods

1. To review and reinforce the basic concepts and problem solving skills of engineering thermodynamics. We are engineers. We solve problems.
2. To study the mathematical foundations of classical thermodynamics.
You would find that thermodynamics is quite easy. There is no partial differential equation. All you need to do is to find the properties in tables.
You will find that it is not so easy to understand the mathematics in thermodynamics.
That would be a great challenge for you.
3. To explore some of the advanced topics in engineering thermodynamics those are important in the future carrier of graduate students.
Especially at the present day when the sustainable energy and zero emission of greenhouse gas become a great issue for our future development.

1.The ability to apply the knowledge of math, science, and mechanical engineering.

2.The ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze the data obtained.

3.The ability to work with others as a team to design and manufacture products of mechanical engineering systems.

4.The ability humanities awareness and a knowledge of contemporary issues, and to understand the impact of science and engineering technologies, environmental, societal, and global context.

5.The ability of continuing study and self-learning.

6.The knowledge of professional ethics and social responsibilities of a mechanical engineer.
