Course Rationale:
Mechanical engineers should have a deep understanding of the thermodynamic properties of pure substances, ideal and real gases and the study and application of the
laws of thermodynamics in the analysis of processes and cycles which includes introduction to vapor and gas power cycles for designing equipment and machineries in
power and industrial plantapplications.
Course Description :
Thermodynamics is a science thatdeals with the transformation or conversion ofone form of energy to another. The conversion ofheat into w ork, chemical energyinto
electrical energy. It was derived from a Greek word “ THERME” that means heatand “DYNAMIS” that means strength.Its scope has a wide range of application ofthe
different thermodynamic principles thatis useful to the fast growing global developmentofindustrial technology.It include s the differentconceptfor equipmentdesign with
economical and competitive quality of production and technical innovation.
This course provides a basic grounding in the principles and methods ofClassical Thermodynamics.Itconcentrates on:understanding the thermodynamic laws in relation
to familiar experience;phase change,ideal gas and flow processes;using sources ofdata like thermodynamic tables and charts;application ofthe basic princi ples to the
operation of various engine cycles.
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):

Course requirements
1. Class standing requirements (short quizzes, seatworks,assignments and oral presentations, group participation and evaluation)- Seatworks and short
quizzes are unannounced and are usuallygiven at the start or near the end of the lecture period.Problem setassignments are to be solved through team effort to
maximize peer tutoring and cooperative learning.Outputs are collected at the beginning ofthe next class session;all works turned in after 10 minutes will notbe
accepted.Students will be required to do oral presentation ofassignmentsolutions or any special topics.Individual contribution to group work will be rated by th e
instructor and by co-group members.
2. Long tests - Examinations covering one (or several) chapters discussed during the lecture sessions.This type of assessmentis announced.
3. Midterm examination – a comprehensive examination covering all topics discussed since startofclass.Type of examination is generallycomputational (problem
solving type) but maybe mixed with objective-type questions (multiple choice,T/F, matching type, etc).
4. Final Examination - similar in type as the Midterm Examination and is usuallycovering all topics discussed after midterm.However,the coverage may be
changed to include some earlier topics ifdeemed necessaryby the instructor.
Grading System: Following the standard setby the University, the course requirements are weighted in a grading system as follows:

Class Policies
Attendance: Attendance sheets will be passed around and the studentis responsible to sign to prove his presence for that session.This i s to monitor whether absences
incurred by the studentis still within the allowed number ofabsences for a course stipulated in the StudentHandbook.The only valid excuses for missing exam are illness
requiring medical care or a personal/familyemergencyof a serious nature.For such,valid medical certificate and parent’s/g uardian’s letter will be required and subjected to
verification.
Cooperative Learning: The goal is to have everyone learn more than they would have working alone. Nevertheless,individual work provides the foundation for productive
and synergistic group work.Teams will be formed,with three or four students per team.These will be used in two ways. First, in-class discussion and reporting on
assignments will be bygroup (whenever possible).Second,problem setassignments will be group activities butthe submission ofassignmentoutputs will be done

Program
Outcomes
The graduates of the
program shall
demonstrate the
f ollowing:
a) Ability to apply
individually.Presentation ofoutput will be done on a rotation basis.All students will evaluate themselves and their fellow group members with respectto contributions to
group function at leasttwice during the semester. This evaluation will contribute to the class standing portion ofthe course grade and will be used primarilyin deciding
borderline grades.
Academic honesty policy: It is a part of your education to learn responsibilityand self-discipline,particularlywith regards to academic honesty.The mostimportantissue
of academic honestyis cheating.Cheating is defined to include any attemptto defraud,deceive, or mislead the instructor in arriving at an honestgrade assessment.
Plagiarism is a form of cheating that involves presenting as one's own work the ideas or work of another.
All portions of any test, project, or final exam submitted by you for a grade must be your own work, unless you are instructed to work collaboratively. Specific requirements
will be described for collaborative projects, but all work presented must be the work of members of that group. Research mate rials used must be properly cited. Cheating in
a major course examination by a student will entail a failing mark of F for the given course. Cheating, dishonesty or plagiarism in papers and other works will entail a zero
(0) score for the said requirement. Policies have been established by Xavier University to insure due process in charges of cheating or plagiarism. A copy of these
procedures can be found in the Student Handbook.
House Rules:
1.Dress code is highlyobserved inside the classroom and in the laboratory.
2.Cellular/mobile phones and other radio transmitting devices should be turned-offinside the classroom or laboratoryrooms or else,leave them outside the
lecture/laboratoryroom.Violation thereof is a five(5) points demeriton the succeeding/following examination.
3. Subject textbooks and subjectnotebooks are required inside the lecture room.
4.Every studentis expected to read the topic of the day before the lecture starts.
5.Homeworks shall be submitted before the start of the class to the assigned beadle.
6.Late lecture requirements (ie.assignments,testpapers) are notaccepted by the assigned beadle.
7.A deduction of three(3) points per day is imposed on late laboratoryreports.
8.Subjectrequirements should be submitted with the ME Departmentstandard Cover Page.
9.Long quizzes are announced in advance,shortquizzes are not.
10.No special long examination or shortquizzes shall be given.
11.A studentcaughtin any form of cheating shall be given a grade of Failure,F for the examination taken.
12.Disturbing the examination process to other examinees (such as asking questions or borrowing/lending) examination and drafting instruments is considered a form of
cheating.
