PREREQUISITESSTUDENT GROUPSHOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTSWORKSHPSQUIZZESGRADESGRADING SCALEbelow 60 FSTUDENT RESPONSIBILITIESHere are some of the things you must do to succeed in this course and learn effectivelyAttend lectures and workshops (on time!). The lectures, workshops, textbook and the course web age are meant to complement each other where, for example, concepts learned from the textbook are reinforced in the lecture. Lectures and workshops allow me to present the material from a different perspective, clarify concepts and most importantly, they allow you to ask questions. I hope that you will actively participate in class; please don’t hesitate to ask questions.Keep up with the reading and homework assignments. Make sure you know how to solve different types of problems; get as much practice as you can by solving additional problems.Get help early and don’t fall behind. Keep up with the class, you cannot learn by last minute cramming! Utilize my office hours fully, especially if you are having difficulties with the course material.HONOR CODECourse Outline and Syllabus - Fall 2002EML 3015C - Thermal Fluids I INTRODUCTIONThis is the first of a two-part series of courses (Thermal Fluids I & II) designed to provide abackground on the fundamental principles and engineering applications of thermodynamics, heattransfer and fluid mechanics. These three areas collectively make up the field of thermalsciences but are traditionally taught as separate courses. However, in this course sequence, thethree areas are presented in a more integrated manner, emphasizing the connectivity betweenthese areas through the use of ‘real-world’ examples of thermal systems. Topics covered include,but are not limited to: fundamentals of thermodynamics, including the First and Second Laws;application of the laws of thermodynamics to various systems; analysis of various Power andRefrigeration Cycles; modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation; analysis ofsteady state and transient heat transfer; fluids statics; laws of conservation of mass & momentum(Newton’s second law) and their application to various systems; Bernoulli’s equation; losses inpipes and other internal and external flows. The two thermal-fluids courses, EML 3015C and EML 3016C (taught in Spring), together withEML 4304L, Experiments in Thermal Fluid Sciences, form the core curriculum in thermalsciences. Collectively, they should provide you with a sound fundamental as well as a practicalknowledge of this area of engineering. OBJECTIVES The goal is to:- Provide an understanding of the principles of thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluidmechanics.- Illustrate the practical engineering applications of these areas and reinforce theirconnectivity through analysis of thermal systems. - Enable you to analyze real thermal systems through the knowledge gained in thesecourses. This includes: making appropriate simplifying assumptions and applying therelevant governing principles/equations.- Expose you to a group-learning environment by requiring you to work and solveproblems in groups, much like the real world.PREREQUISITES You should have passed the following courses (and their prerequisites) with a C or better: MAC2313 (Calculus III); EML 3013C (Dynamic Systems I). Exemptions to the prerequisites shouldbe requested during the first week of classes. If you have not fulfilled these prerequisites, you arenot prepared for this class and may be dropped from the course.Lecture Times: MWF 9:40 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Room B135Lab/Workshop: W 2 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Room B114Note: Attendance in Lectures and Labs is mandatory.iCourse Dr. F. S. Alvi Instructor CEB A240 Phone: 410-6336 (CEB); 644-0053 (FMRL)Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Monday, Wednesday (tentative) : 11:30 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. Teaching Mr. V.

Office Hours: TBAWEB RESOURCESCourse Page: http://www.eng.fsu.edu/~alvi/EML3015The Course Web Page is one of the most important resources in this course and will beextensively used, please become familiar with it. You should check the web page at least four times/week for updates. Information availablethrough the Web page includes:- Reading Assignments: Reading assignments from the textbook will be posted; students areexpected to have read the appropriate sections before lecture.- Lecture Notes: Lecture notes will be posted, usually on a weekly basis. You are expected tohave reviewed the notes before lectures.- Homework Assignments: Homework assignments, as well as selected solutions, will beposted on the web.- Announcements: Important announcements and updates, e.g. deadlines, tests, etc. will alsobe posted.- Examples and Useful Links: Hyperlinks to sites and materials which further illustrate andreinforce the concepts learned in this course will be provided.Note: This integrated curriculum in thermal sciences (EML 3015C and EML 3016C) was primarily developed by Dr. C. Shih over a period of three years. As an integral part of this course,an extensive set of web-based resources have also been developed to aid in the learning of thermalsciences. These resources will be extensively utilized in this course and you are encouraged to become familiar with them.REQUIRED TEXT Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer by Y. A. Cengel, McGraw-HillIntroduction to Fluid Mechanics, by R. W. Fox & A. T. McDonald, Wiley, fifth edition. (The second textbook is required for EML 3016 but you may find it useful for EML 3015 C also.)A copy of the Fluid Mechanics textbook will be placed in the Engineering Library.iiSTUDENT GROUPSBy the end of the first week, each student will by assigned to a group of 3-4 students. For theremainder of this course, as well as the next (EML 3016C), you will work with this group onhomework assignments, group projects and workshop/lab assignments. Groups will be assignedby the instructor, details of which will be discussed during the first week of classes. You areresponsible for resolving any conflicts that may arise within a group. Since a significant portion ofyour grade is dependant on group assignments, it is important that you work well together. HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTSIn general, weekly homework assignments will be given.
