Course Objective 1. To introduce the basic concepts in thermodynamics of heat, work, and energy in conjunction with their analysis. 2. To make student learn topics such as thermodynamic properties of real and ideal substances. 3. To develop an understanding of conservation equations: mass and energy balances. 4.To develop understanding of second law and entropy 5.To introduce topics such as Power cycles Student Learning Outcome (After completion of the course, students will be able to) Apply the basic concepts to solving thermodynamic problems Understand relationship between the properties and behavior of substances within a system Apply first law of thermodynamics to providing solutions to thermodynamic problems Apply second law of thermodynamics to providing solutions to thermodynamic problems Develop problem solving skills in power cycles

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The course meets for lecture two hours and 30 minutes two times a week. Attendance will be taken during each lecture. To maintain highest standard of intellectual integrity, cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, or aiding and abetting dishonesty by another person WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Such transgressions may result in action ranging from no grade in that activity to failure of a course, at the discretion of the professor Rescheduling of test will only be done under special circumstances and by obtaining written approval from the instructor before the scheduled test date. Instructor may deduct 10-25% point for late exam. THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES Academic Policies: Please refer to the Academic Policies of the university (pages 35-44 of UM-Flint 2010-2011 catalog) for other policies.

I have the intention to support the full participation of all students in the learning process of this class. As a result, various learning strategies that embrace integrity of learning will be employed to ensure that no student is excluded in the learning process. Students are also free to offer suggestions about how I can better meet their needs as we make progress in the class. I have also incorporated a variety of evaluation methods in the course process. In spite of these efforts, situations may occur in which the learning style of individual students is not met by the instructional climate. It is my expectation that students who require specific or additional supports in acquiring the course content or demonstrating their achievement of the objectives will inform me of such needs immediately. Assistance is available in the office of Accessibility Services in 264 UCEN, 762-3456. Solution Methods: Solutions to problems solved on assignments, tests and homework must be logical, understood by fellow students and the professor. A standard solution approach will be required for assignment, homework and test problems to support clear and concise communication of information. A solution will include: design conditions (data given), assumptions, formula, sketch and answer. Attendance/ Class Participation(5%) : Class attendance is required and may be periodically recorded. Students cannot reasonably expect to master the course materials without regular attendance and participation in the class. Students are strongly encouraged and required to participate in the lectures through class discussions and questions or comments in class. Homework (20%): Homework will be assigned covering each topic. Homework is the students responsibility. Students are required to complete all homework to ensure the subjects discussed in lecture are understood. Homework assigned on one class is due at the beginning of the next class. Quizzes (15%): Quiz will be given to students on regularly basis from topics covered in class. Quizzes are close book/note and expected to last for approximately 15 minutes. In addition to the quizzes listed in the syllabus, there may be additional unannounced quizzes to evaluate learning of the lecture materials. Tests (30%): Tests will be given to evaluate the students understanding of the course topics. All tests are comprehensive, to include prerequisite and related courses. Final Paper and Presentation (5%): Each student will be required to write a final paper that will cover student learning outcomes listed in the syllabus. Each of the learning outcomes must be related to the appropriate theory, derivations, applications, example and rationale about how the learning outcome has been met along with the level of competency gained by the student on that specific topic. Final Examination (30%): The final exam will be comprehensive, covering all course topics in this syllabus. Students will not be allowed to use the textbook during the exam, however, formula sheet which must be turned in with exam sheet may be allowed. Final grades will be assigned using the proportional system shown below: Homework 20% Quizzes 10% Tests 30% Final Paper 5% Final Exam 30% Attendance 5% GRADING SYSTEM: Grades will be based on the following scale: 97-100 A+ 74-76 C 94-96 A 70-73 C90-93 A67-69 D+ 87-89 B+ 64-66 D 84-86 B 60-63 D80-83 B<60 F 77-79 C+
