Thermodynamics 1

KOGAWA Takuma
Course description
Based on the content of Thermodynamics 1, we will give lectures on effective energy use and exergy, general relational expressions of thermodynamics, gas cycles, steam cycles, etc. All students will be asked to prepare for the course by viewing the lecture materials and lecture videos that will be distributed in advance. During lecture hours, we will conduct exercises to check your understanding of the content and deepen your understanding (flipped class format). In addition, three exercises (assignments to be submitted) will be held: exercises for the first half and second half, and a comprehensive exercise.
Purpose of class
In this lecture, we will understand the concepts of energy that can be used effectively (exergy) and energy that cannot be used when converting thermal energy into work, and learn about general relational expressions and calculation methods for actual heat engines.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand the laws of thermodynamics and exergy, and be able to solve various problems related to heat.
  2. Understand how to determine thermodynamic state quantities that are difficult to measure, and be able to calculate them using calculations that include interpolation methods.
  3. Understand the cycles of each heat engine and be able to explain the differences and characteristics of each cycle using P-V and T-S diagrams.
  4. Understand and be able to explain the difference between extracting heat energy through combustion and converting it into work, and extracting electricity directly through a chemical reaction.

Textbooks and reference materials
This lecture is based on the JSME text series "Thermodynamics" (from Chapter 5), Jikkyo Publishing "Thermodynamics: How to think and use with examples" (from Chapter 4), and Morikita Publishing "Industrial Thermodynamics with Examples". It is based on each book. Many texts related to thermodynamics have been published. Please read through and carefully to deepen your understanding of the lesson content. For example, a good English text is "Thermal Physics" by D.V. Schroeder (Addison Welsey Longman).
