Synopsis
: This laboratory course contains 10 experiments that are covered basic concept
in Thermodynamics and Strength of Material. Laboratory experiments are
designed for hand-on experience to understand the engineering principles taught
in lectures. The topics covered are: Marcet Boiler, Stirling Cycle Hot Air Engine,
Pressure and Differential Pressure Measurement, Mixing of water at Different
Temperature, First and Second Law of Thermodynamics, Torsion of bars,
Compression Test, Bending Moment, Three Point Bending, and Tensile Test.
This course also emphasized the technical writing aspect where all students’
observation and arguments of each experiment must be reported in proper
format.
Learning Outcomes
: By the end of the course, students should be able to:
i)
Apply First and Second Law of Thermodynamics
ii)
Explain on how heat is converted to work.
iii)
Measure pressure and differential pressure
iv)
Determine the modulus of elasticity and Modulus of rigidity.
v)
Compare the tensile properties between materials.
