Objectives:
This course applies the fundamental principles of thermodynamics presented in ENGR 251 to areas
of particular interest to mechanical engineers. Topics covered are advanced cycles, real gases,
non-reacting gaseous mixtures, and related theory. Prerequisites of this course are COMP 212 &
ENGR 251.
Textbook:
“Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach” by Cengel and Boles, Any edition with SI units, McGraw
Hill.

Lecture notes, Assignments, Labs and General notes: Lecture notes will be available on the
course website. Problem solving is an essential part of this course; you are encouraged to discuss
the general principles involved in the homework sets with one another.
The laboratories will start on Monday, January 12th. The lab manual describing all experiments
and providing instructions concerning each experiment should be purchased from the bookstore. To
take full benefit from the Lab., the students are urged to study carefully each experiment before
performing it in the lab. The students have to get the lab. instructor's signature on their data sheet.
