Basic Thermodynamics

YOSHIHARA Shouichirou
Course description
In manufacturing, we have to take responsibility for our production. Therefore, in order to achieve unbreakable and "safe and secure" manufacturing, it is necessary to quantitatively grasp and understand the forces and moments acting on objects. The purpose of this course is to focus on statics. Specifically, students calculate the forces acting on each part of an object from the balance of forces and moments based on Newton's laws, determine the centre of gravity of an object, and calculate the motion of a faltering point (falling motion or parabolic motion) using differentiation and integration.
Purpose of class
The objectives of this course are as follows.
1. To master the basics of thermodynamics, which is the fundamental theory of "design engineering".
2. to acquire the ability to apply this theory.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand and be able to calculate various quantities of thermodynamics.
  2. To explain specific heat, the first law of thermodynamics and the second law of thermodynamics.
  3. To calculate and explain the efficiency of a cycle.

Evaluation method and criteria
There will be a report (20 points), a mid-term examination (40 points) and a final examination (40 points), for a total of 100 points. The report will be divided into two parts.
Of the 100 points, 60 points will be considered a passing grade. The standard of passing level is to be able to calculate thermodynamic quantities and understand their meaning, to understand the meaning of the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and to calculate the efficiency of a cycle.
