Course description
Thermodyanmics is one of the basic subjects in mechanical engineering. This course provides the fundamental of thermodynamics. The objectives of the course are to understand second law of thermodyanmics, entropy, gas cycle, exergy (effective energy) and maximum work. In this lecture, the goal is not to simply memorize the terms and expressions, but to understand thermodynamic concepts.

This course is an elective subject of the department curriculum.
Expected Learning
You will be able to understand the basic concepts of second laws of thermodynamics, entropy, exergy (effective energy) and maximum work.

Assessment/Grading
Evaluate in the midterm examination (40%) and the final examination (60%). The problem statement of each exam is written in English. Textbooks and notebooks are not allowed for each exam. However, you can bring your own handwritten memos of one A4 sheet (both sides can be written), English-Japanese dictionaries (including electronic dictionaries), and calculators. It also evaluates the contents of your handwritten memos.
Message from instructor(s)
Thermodynamics is necessary for understanding subjects in various fields. Therefore, listen to the lectures with interest in many things.
