Class attendance is optional. Those who have no scheduling conflicts with the recording
of live lectures are encouraged to attend, but doing so is not mandatory. All homework
will be submitted electronically and all quizzes will be administered through Canvas.
Required Textbook
Cengel, Y., Cimbala, J., and Turner, R. (2013). Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid
Sciences, 4th Edition, McGraw-Hill.
Course Objectives
This course provides an undergraduate coverage of basic thermodynamic processes. The
course emphasizes the fundamental principles of control volume analysis to both open
and closed systems, the application of conservation of energy and conservation of mass,
the concept of entropy and thermodynamic losses, and the general calculation of various
state properties. Students will learn to apply these concepts through exposure to
numerous practical engineering problems. Upon completion of the course, students are
expected to have developed a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of
thermodynamics and problem solving techniques applicable to heat and fluid transfer
systems.

materials such as homework assignments, homework and exam solutions, lecture
handouts, and more can be found here.

All exams, except the final, will be administered live on the evening of the dates above.
The exact location and time of each exam is as yet undetermined except for the final
which will be given during the regular final exam schedule.
Class Policies
1. There will be 12 total homework assignments. The final homework average will be
calculated as the sum of all 12 homework grades divided by 11. This will allow students
leverage to abstain from a single weekly assignment if they choose, or provide a grade
boost to those that do not.
2. Homework assignments will be submitted online through Canvas. Homework that is to
be submitted online is due by the posted due date and time (usually midnight on the date
due) with no exceptions.
6. To encourage everyone to stay current with class topics 6 to 8 unscheduled quizzes will
be given throughout the semester at the instructors discretion. Therefore, you can expect
to see at least two quizzes given in between each exam. Quizzes are administered online
through Canvas. The lowest quiz grade is dropped from final grade calculations.
7. Collaboration on homework is a vital part of the college learning experience, but each
student is responsible for submitting original work by their own efforts. The copying of
assignments from peers or solutions manuals is cheating and will be subject to university
sanctions.
8. Honesty Policy All students admitted to the University of Florida have signed a
11. Software Use All faculty, staff and students of the University are required and
expected to obey the laws and legal agreements governing software use. Failure to do so
can lead to monetary damages and/or criminal penalties for the individual violator.
Because such violations are also against University policies and rules, disciplinary action
will be taken as appropriate. We, the members of the University of Florida community,
pledge to uphold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honesty and
integrity.
