ME 30: Engineering Thermodynamics

The basic principles of thermodynamics are introduced in this course. Concepts of energy and entropy from elementary considerations of the microscopic nature of matter are discussed. The principles are applied in thermodynamic analyses directed towards understanding the performances of engineering systems. Methods and problems cover socially responsible economic generation and utilization of energy in central power generation plants, solar systems, refrigeration devices, and automobile, jet and gas-turbine engines.

ME 131: Heat Transfer

The principles of heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation with examples from the engineering of practical devices and systems. Topics include transient and steady conduction, conduction by extended surfaces, boundary layer theory for forced and natural convection, boiling, heat exchangers, and graybody radiative exchange. Prerequisites: ME70, ME30 (formerly listed at ENGR30). Recommended: intermediate calculus, ordinary differential equations.This course was formerly ME131A. Students who have already taken ME131A should not enroll in this course.

ME 132: Intermediate Thermodynamics

A second course in engineering thermodynamics. Review of first and second laws, and the state principle. Extension of property treatment to mixtures. Chemical thermodynamics including chemical equilibrium, combustion, and understanding of chemical potential as a driving force. Elementary electrochemical thermodynamics. Coursework includes both theoretical and applied aspects. Applications include modeling and experiments of propulsion systems (turbojet) and electricity generation (PEM fuel cell). Matlab is used for quantitative modeling of complex energy systems with real properties and performance metrics. Prerequisites: ME30 required, ME70 suggested, ME131 desirable.
