B. CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
ME 322. Thermodynamics three credits, the fundamental concepts and laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic
properties of perfect and real gases, vapors, solids and liquids. Applications of thermodynamics to power cycles, and
flow processes. Development of thermodynamic relationships and equations of state. Review of the first and second
laws. Availability and irreversibility lecture-discussion, three hours a week. Prerequisite: MTH 112
C. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Thermodynamics is a foundation course in the ME/EEGR curriculum and is required of all ME/EEGR students. It
prepares the student to solve simple to complex problems in thermodynamics. The course presents many ideas and
principles that are completely new to the student. The student will gain the ability to solve problems in a clear, and
systematic way. See complete list of learning objectives. Thus the objectives of the course are to:
a1. Sketch T– v, p– v, and T-s diagrams, and locate states on these diagrams. Interpolate property data from Tables.
a2. Learn concepts of closed/open system, extensive and intensive properties, state, process and cycle, and apply the
knowledge
a3. Learn and apply ideal and non-ideal (compressible) gas laws
a4. Learn conservation of mass, first and second laws of thermodynamics (energy & entropy equations).
a5. Identify the differences between reversibility or irreversibility of a process and how it relates to entropy
production and isentropic efficiencies
c1. Apply necessary thermodynamic tools and skills such as continuity equation, energy, and entropy equations to
solve real-world thermodynamic problems in engineering practice or to meet desired needs. Determine the
performance of Power, Refrigeration, and Heat Pump cycles using efficiency and COP of these cycles.
c2. Determine operating conditions for thermodynamic cycles in order to optimize power or efficiency
c3. Design thermodynamics systems using concepts of entropy, Carnot, Rankine, and other cycles
c4. Analyze valve, pump, compressor, turbine and heat exchanger boiler, condenser, nozzles, and water heaters etc.
d1. Work as a team on semester long design project (Stirling engine design), make sure each student in the group
participates as project grades are dependent on students’ active participation.
e1. Compute changes in thermodynamic properties due to: mixing, compression, expansion, and heat exchange
e2. Identify and formulate thermodynamic problems using continuity equation, first and second law of
thermodynamics
e3. Solve engineering problems using both ideal and non-ideal (considering compressibility) gas laws
f1. Take ethical & professional responsibility during exam and design project work. Copying work of others is
unethical. Grades for plagiarism, copying, or cheating will be zero irrespective of previous performance.
i1. Occasionally discuss the engineering licensure (FE) issues. The students also take sample FE exam available on my
website and take a quiz.
k1. Use thermodynamics tools to analyze Power Cycles for improved efficiency
k2. Apply both ideal and non-ideal gas laws as engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
k3. Apply principles of Carnot, Rankine, and other cycles in solving engineering problems
k4. Employ efficiency and coefficient of performance tools to assess performance of Power, Refrigeration, and Heat
Pump cycles
k5. Employ principles of thermodynamics as tools to analyze thermodynamic components such as valves, pumps,
compressors, turbines and heat exchangers boiler, condenser, valves, nozzles, and water heaters etc.

D. MAPPING OF THE COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES TO ABET (Criterion 3) OUTCOMES:
The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Criteria 2000 define a number of program outcomes
that all graduates of ABET accredited programs must have. The course relations to these outcomes are listed below:
Outcomes a, c, and e are central to the course. Knowledge of thermodynamics principles and application of mass,
energy, and entropy balance, plays a very crucial role in the design of thermodynamic components and various
power cycles.
Outcomes d and k are addressed in the design-project component of the course. The outcome d is partially
addressed by virtue that project teams are construed of students who belong to different majors. When students
work on design of a thermodynamic system, processes, and power cycle, the knowledge of modern engineering
tools and techniques are necessary.
Outcomes f and i: They are occasionally considered in the class discussions.

PREREQUISITES BY TOPIC:
Knowledge of differential and integral calculus, and ability to use Word, PowerPoint & Excel is necessary.
G. HOMEWORK & EXAM:
Homework and pop quizzes: Class attendance is critically important as no make up quiz will be given. More than 3
unexcused absences will force the final grade to be lowered down by 0.5 grade from the maximum achievable.
Unethical behavior like cheating in exam or homework, plagiarism will cost a grade of "zero" irrespective of the
last performance. Each student must bring the book in the class. Bring your calculator in exams and in class. See
HW schedule on website. The homework assignments will be collected only when they are announced. They may
or may not be graded. If they are graded only a few problems may be selected for grading. It is student’s
responsibility to do the homework after the relevant material has been discussed in class. The solutions of all
assigned homework will be available on the course website. Design project: Groups must be made before
February 1st. All groups will work on the Stirling Engine Project (project details may be found on internet or my
website). Groups Final project reports are not required, but interim reports are required anytime by February 28th.
The interim reports will not be graded. Each group work will present their work on April 23rd in the class. Three
Exams will be held on February 12th, March 19th and April 23rd. Arrange your schedule now to make sure you are
available on these dates as early or make-up test will not be given, unless a valid reason is presented to the
instructor. All tests will be closed book unless otherwise mentioned. The grade for a missed test will be zero (0).
Final Exam schedule will be announced by the Registrar.
H. GRADING: Points distribution:
Three Hour Exams@ 15 Pts. each = 45 Pts. Final Exam =25 Pts., Quizzes & HW =15 Pts., Project =15 Pts.
Grading Scheme:4.0 (90 and ), 3.5 (85 and ), 3.0 (80 and ), 2.5 (75 and ), 2.0 (70 and ), 1.5 (65 and ), 1.0
(60 and ) and 0.0 (59 and ). The grade scale is based on the aggregate score calculated using the above
distribution. Individual exams or project’s grade is not the representative of the final grade.
