Class Objective: This course will teach advanced topics of classical thermodynamics with emphasis on basic concepts, laws, and thermodynamic relationships. Selected topics of current interest including areas of irreversible thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and the thermodynamics of solid will be covered. Main Texts: • C. borgnakke and R. E. Sonntag, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, 7th Ed., Wiley, 2008. • E. P. Gyftopoulos and G. P. Beretta, Thermodynamics: Foundations and Applications, Dover, 2005. References: • M. J. Moran and H. N. Shapiro, Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics, 6th Ed., Wiley, 2007. • K. Stowe, An introduction to Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics, 2nd Ed., Cambridge, 2007. • V. P. Carey, Statistical Thermodynamics and Microscale Thermophysics, Cambridge, 1999. Homework and Exams: Around 10 assignments, two exams, and a term project • All tests will be a “take-home” test. • Battery-powered calculators are allowed. • Late homework will incur a penalty of 10% every day it is late. Grading: 30% homework; 20% term project (15% report and 5% presentation); 20 % mid-term exam; 30% final exam Topics to be covered: Introduction and Overview Pure Substance Thermodynamic Relations Energy and First Law Entropy and Second Law Availability Power and Refrigeration Systems Gas Mixtures and Moisture Chemical Reactions and Equilibrium

Term project: All students must get involved in a term project as a team. Two students are required to make a team. Team leaders are the first student of each team. Some examples as a term project topic are: • • • • •
Entropy of radiation Exergy analysis of heat engines Thermal efficiency of fuel cell Study of the Brownian motion using a Monte Carlo method Other topics related with thermodynamics
Each team should turn in a 10-page double-space manuscript summarizing their lecture with at least 10 references. All members will have even credits for the term paper.
Time line for a term project is as follows: 1. Submission of lecture outline: 09/30 (Each lecture outline will be reviewed, followed by group meeting with me) 2. Submission of a progress report (2 page): 11/11 midnight 3. Submission of a term paper: 12/16 midnight 4. Late term papers will incur a penalty of 10% every day it is late.
