**E134: Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics – Fall 2023** |[home](index.md.html)|[problem sets](ps.md.html)|[notes and code](notecode.md.html)| !!! Warning The E134 website has been updated for Fall 2023. Let me know if you find any errors or broken links on the website and I will fix them. !!! Note Apparently, a number of students have felt intimidated to see the entire semester laid out on the first day of class. My intent is **not** to intimidate you. It is to permit you to plan out your semester and account for Clinic, research, athletic trips, or illness without having to resort to asking for extensions or stressing about when you turn things in. Gradescope will also release all of the problem sets and computer assignment on the first day of class, so that you may submit them at any time before the due date. !!! Warning **Masking Policy** – I will personally be masking for the first two weeks of class. You may choose to mask or not as you see fit. After the first two weeks, I will evaluate how the general health of the college is going, and either choose to continue masking or not. # Instructor and Text __Professor:__ Erik Spjut

ISBN: 9781260721478 # Student Learning Objectives Students will: * Demonstrate facility with the 1st and 2nd laws. * Apply the ideal gas law to solve power-cycle problems. * Apply real gas equations to both PVT problems and phase equilibria. * Use property tables to calculate power and refrigeration cycles. * Use the combined 1st and 2nd laws to calculate the thermodynamic efficiency of real processes. * Calculate phase equilibria for ideal and real solutions. * Calculate chemical equilibria for reacting systems. # Course components: Component | Information ---------------------|------------ Lectures/Recitations | Most Thursdays and Tuesdays Video Lectures | Supplements to lectures and text. Problem Sets | Due most Thursdays. No late homework accepted. Exams | Three mid-term exams, designed to be completed in 75 minutes, must be completed within 24 hours during the assigned week Computer Assignments | Four [PRO/II](https://www.aveva.com/en/products/pro-ii-simulation/) assignments. You will need to plan your time to fit them in around your problem sets. # Grading: Homework problems will be graded with the following rubric: Points | Evaluation ------:|----------- 5 | Wow 4 | Good 3 | Fair 2 | Poor 1 | Ouch 0 | DND The exams and computer projects will be graded with a traditional 100 point total scale. I don't accept late assignments, but we can usually work something out for illness or excused absences. Contact me if you're facing issues regarding getting assignments in on time. ## Grade Weighting: Component | % of Total ---------------------|----------- Problem Sets | 13% Computer Assignments | 12% Exam 1 | 25% Exam 2 | 25% Exam 3 | 25% # Calendar Tuesday, 29 August 2023: Lec 1 - [Lecture 1](lec/E134_F2023_Lecture_1.pdf) – SVN Cpt 1, Cpt 2 Thursday, 31 August 2023: Lec 2 - [Lecture 2](lec/E134_F2023_Lecture_2.pdf) – SVN Cpt 2, Sec 3.3 Thursday, 31 August 2023: PS 1 - [Problem Set 1](ps.md.html#problemset1%E2%80%93due31aug2023): SVN 1.2, 1.14, 1.18, 2.28, 2.31, 2.34 Tuesday, 05 September 2023: Lec 3 - [Lecture 3](lec/E134_F2023_Lecture_3.pdf) – SVN Cpt 4 Thursday, 07 September 2023: Lec 4 - [Lecture 4](lec/E134_F2023_Lecture_4.pdf) – SVN Cpt 5 Thursday, 07 September 2023: PS 2 - [Problem Set 2](ps.md.html#problemset2%E2%80%93due7sep2023): SVN 3.18, 3.25, 3.27, 3.31, also SVN 4.32 or 4.434 Tuesday, 12 September 2023: Lec 5 - [Lecture 5](lec/E134_F2023_Lecture_5.pdf) – SVN Cpt 3 except Sec 3.3 Thursday, 14 September 2023: Lec 6 - [Lecture 6](lec/E134_F2023_Lecture_6.pdf) – SVN Cpt 6 Thursday, 14 September 2023: PS 3 - [Problem Set 3](ps.md.html#problemset3%E2%80%93due14sep2023): SVN 5.8, 5.16, 5.25, 5.44, 5.46 Tuesday, 19 September 2023: Rankine Cyc. - [The Rankine Cycle](lec/E134_F2023_TheRankineCycle.pdf) – SVN Cpt 7, Sec 8.1 - [Optional Video on Rankine Cycle](https://youtu.be/Ht2wgH_EWQU) - [Optional Video on Steam Turbines](https://youtu.be/SPg7hOxFItI) Thursday, 21 September 2023: Air Cyc. - [Air Standard Cycle](lec/E134_F2023_AirStandardCycles.pdf) – SVN Cpt 7, Sec 8.1 - [Optional Carnot Cycle Animation](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZRUlYHHBYXOhNODSsL_kGqlUWrv-xqD_/view?usp=sharing) - [Optional Otto Cycle Animation](https://youtu.be/q71qDSETaGg) - [Optional Diesel Cycle Animation](https://youtu.be/CNdIJVnobqA) - [Optional Brayton Cycle Animation](https://youtu.be/GF-70yncAVY) - [Optional Turbojet Cycle Animation](https://youtu.be/KjiUUJdPGX0) - [Optional Stirling Cycle Animation](https://drive.google.com/file/d/14-v9RPCiYnYTZbFfkehpneMOsknTm6OW/view?usp=sharing) Thursday, 21 September 2023: PS 4 - [Problem Set 4](ps.md.html#problemset4%E2%80%93due21sep2023): SVN 3.42, 3.53 d, h, l do as is and with BWR equation, 3.59, 6.54, 6.58 Tuesday, 26 September 2023: Refrig.

What now? College students in general and Mudd students in particular often experience issues that may interfere with academic success such as academic stress, sleep problems, juggling responsibilities, life events, relationship concerns, or feelings of anxiety, hopelessness, or depression. If you or a friend is struggling, we strongly encourage you to seek support. Helpful, effective resources are available on campus, at no charge. - If you are struggling with E134, please text, email, or visit me. - Check-in with an academic dean if you are struggling in courses or unsure what academic resources are available at HMC by emailing academicdeans@g.hmc.edu. - Reach out to The Office of Health and Wellness to discuss options available to by emailing wellness@hmc.edu - **MCAPS provides crisis support services 24/7/365. Students can call us at 909-621-8202 and press “1” at the prompt to speak with a crisis counselor.** Other prompt options are available for those not in crisis.
