| •Course Purpose |
| This subject introduces thermodynamics and its applications in automotive engineering.
The main focus of this course is to understand the basic principles of classical thermodynamics which are the basis for macroscopic understanding of all the physical phenomena. |
| •Prerequisite Subjects |
| Calculus 1, 2; Linear Algebra 1, 2; Fundamentals of Physics 1, 2, 3, 4;
Fundamentals of Chemistry 1, 2 |
| •Course Topics |
| 1. Thermal Equilibrium and Temperature
2. State Equations, Partial Differentials, Units and Dimensions 3. The First Law of Thermodynamics 4. The Second Law of Thermodynamics 5. Entropy 6. Thermodynamic Functions 7. Phase Equilibrium and Chemical Equilibrium 8. Kinetic Theory and Statistical Mechanics Students will solve problems under guidance of a faculty. Remarks: To obtain an excellent grade of this course, you have to prepare yourself properly by allocating enough time (i.e., it is your own duty/responsibility) for the assignment and final examination outside the course hours using the printed handouts of the lecture materials. |
| •Textbook |
| Printed handouts will be provided. |
| •Additional Reading |
| Modern Engineering Thermodynamics; Robert T. Balmer; Academic Press (2010) |
| •Grade Assessment |
| Grades will be based on class participation, assignments and a final examination.
30% for attendance 30% for assignments 40% for final examination |
| •Notes |
| The whole lecture schedules/plans (including the date of the assignment/report, and the date of the final examination and so on) will be announced at the first class of each semester. The contents of the lecture, based on the course topics, will be provided in every lecture. However, the items as stated above are subject to change with prior notice during the semester. |
| •Contacting Faculty |
| Students can ask questions at any time during classes.
Questoins during off-class hours can be asked at the lecturer's room (Engineering Building No.3 North Wing, Room 223 (3125) or via e-mail:akter.hossain@mae.nagoya-u.ac.jp |
