DESCRIPTION OF ENGINEERING 72 - THERMODYNAMICS Spring 2001 Prof. Joseph Calo and Prof. Janet Rankin Engineering 72 is a first course in thermodynamics that is offered as part of the core engineering curriculum at Brown University. It is usually taken by engineering students in the second semester of their sophomore year and has as prerequisites an introductory course in Chemistry and Calculus through partial differentiation and differential equations. Basic computing skills taught in previous engineering courses at Brown are also required.
The course seeks to give students an introduction to both basic, formal thermodynamics and to the ways in which thermodynamics can be used to solve engineering problems. In the former area, the first and second laws are dealt with extensively from both a control mass and control volume formalism. The thermodynamic properties of materials are also examined, as are their interrelationships as expressed by Maxwell's relations. Different methods of obtaining and analyzing these properties (steam tables, equations of state, approximate methods) are examined, and a formal introduction is given to the topics of exergy and the thermodynamics of both non-reacting and chemically reacting mixtures. The engineering problems include detailed first and second law analyses of such devices as turbines, compressors, nozzles, diffusers, combustors, and valves. These are first examined as individual components, and then systems that include multiple components, such as the jet engine, are analyzed. Engine cycles are also covered in detail. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu [Start Page] [Course Information] [Course Philosophy][Lecture Schedule] [Homework] [Handouts][Lab#1 Schedule] [Lab#2 Schedule] [Quizzes and Exams] [Design Project] [Engineering Links] [Comments and Suggestions] This
