MEM 410 Thermodynamic Analysis II Winter 2014 Description: This course covers thermodynamic analysis of ideal and real

mixtures, real gases, reacting gases, and those requiring analysis of equilibrium. Course Objectives: 1. Determine and express composition and properties of gas mixtures. Apply equations of state to gas mixture analysis. 2. Apply Maxwell relations to thermodynamic issues including the Clapeyron equation, changes in thermodynamic properties and the Joule-Thompson coefficient. 3. Show how chemical and phase equilibrium explains combustion processes and can be applied to other chemical reactions. 4. Review first law analysis of combustion processes including adiabatic flame temperature determination. Introduce second law analysis of combustion.

Homework and Exam Regulations: Homework assignments are due every Tuesday before class starts. Copying or allowing to copy homework is not allowed. Exams will be open book only; notes and other supplemental materials will not be permitted. No make-up exams will be given without advance arrangements. Contribution to Professional Component: Contributes toward the 1! year of engineering topics appropriate to developing the ability to work in the thermal systems area. Prepares students for classes in thermal system design. Relationship to Program Outcomes:
Outcome a-k a. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering b. An ability to design and conduct experiments as well as to analyzed and interpret data c. An ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs d. An ability to function on multidisciplinary teams Content 2 Explanation This course requires the students to develop an understanding of thermodynamics and combustion. The student needs to apply mathematics, science and engineering knowledge to solve an array of problems that relate to gas mixtures, equations of state, the Maxwell formulations of thermodynamics and the chemistry of combustion. The combustion project, an in depth analysis project, introduces students to the analysis of data required to understand combustion as a function of pressure and equivalence ratio. Students explore combustion completeness and adiabatic flame temperature over arrange of pressures and equivalence ratios. The assigned design problems are always required to meet societal or industrial needs. Not Applicable 0

e. An ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems f. An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility g. An ability to communicate effectively h. The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global/societal context i. A recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in lifelong learning j. A knowledge of contemporary issues

The problems and project assigned require students to identify, formulate and solve relevant engineering problems. This is emphasized as part of the engineer's overall responsibility.. The combustion project report is evaluated for clarity in writing, quality in presentation, and ability to present relevant conclusions and ideas for future work. The impact of engineering design on the environment (pollution, greenhouse effect, etc.) and society are covered..

Many of the topics of the course engage students and are intended to make them explore this subject in greater depth. The technical aspects of the material for this course are changing and will require students to engage in lifelong learning Not Applicable

k. An ability to use the Students use EXCEL and QBasic: they present adiabatic flame techniques, skills and temperature and combustion completeness in pressure/equivalence 2 modern engineering ratio space, they develop functional relations between pressure, tools necessary for temperature and enthalpy and use these relationships to generate engineering practice useful thermodynamic quantities 0 = No content; 1 = Some content; 2 = Significant content
