Knowledge
Skills
Competences
on successful completion of the course student is supposed to understand
the closed system and open system/control volume concepts - be able to
describe engineering problems in terms of these concepts; the concepts of an
equation of state and be able to use such an equation to describe pure
substances including understanding and use various property tables; the first
and second laws of thermodynamics and learn how to apply these laws to
both open and closed systems; how materials store energy and the
relationship between the energy storage and phase changes in materials the
concept availability as a combination of the first and second laws of
thermodynamics and will be able to use the availability to evaluate
engineering systems understanding and appreciation for the implications of
the science of thermodynamics on society as a whole (in scientific, historical
and
economic
contexts)
and
recognize
connections
between
thermodynamics and other areas of study.
on successful completion of the course student is supposed to be able to
solve typical problems involving the application of the first and second laws of
thermodynamics to pure substances; analyse and estimate the potential for
thermal-mechanical energy conversion in engineering cycles and devices;
interpret the limitations on thermal-mechanical energy conversion in
engineering cycles and devices; use the First Law of Thermodynamics and
define heat, work, thermal efficiency and the difference between various
forms of energy; estimate the thermodynamic efficiency and power
production of an arbitrary ideal cycle; be able to use entropy calculations as a
tool for evaluating losses and irreversibility in engineering processes.
on successful completion of the course student is supposed to have
proficiency in describing and using the basic principles underlying the study
of thermodynamics, include the ideal gas model, the pure substance model,
and combustion processes; be able to explain at a level understandable to an
Olin freshman the concepts of path dependence/independence and
reversibility/irreversibility of various thermodynamics processes, represent
these in terms of changes of thermodynamic state, and cite examples of how
these would impact the performance of simple energy generation systems
be ready to produce written and oral analyses of thermodynamics problems
that are clear, concise and elegant;
be opened to apply the basic principles and laws of thermodynamics to an
availability analysis of an energy conversion system; developed a more
accurate and rich self-appraisal of themselves as learners.
