Required Textbook
Borgnakke, C. and Sonntag, R. (2009). Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, 7th Edition,
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
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 t he 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.

The course website will be hosted through UF e-learning in Sakai. All course materials
such as homework assignments, homework and exam solutions, lecture handouts, and
more can be found here.
Catalog Description
Credits: 3; Prereq: CHM 2045, MAC 2313, and PHY 2048.
Application of the first and second laws of thermodynamics to closed and open systems
and to cyclic heat engines. This includes the development of procedures for calculating
the properties of multi-phase and single-phase pure substances.

Class Policies
1. There will be 11 total homework assignments. The final homework average will be
calculated as the sum of all 11 homework grades divided by 10. This will allow students
leverage to abstain from a weekly assignment if they choose, or provide a grade boost to
those that do not.
2. Homework is due at the beginning of class with no exception. Once I begin lecturing, I
will no longer accept homework submissions.
3. Treat your homework as a professional deliverable to an employer. Homework
assignments are not only exercises through which to learn material, but also opportunities
to demonstrate your ever-increasing mastery of the topic at hand. As such, even if your
answers are wrong, your work should be neat and completed with pride.
4. Each exam will chiefly cover only the most recent material since the previous exam
before it. In other words, each exam will not be comprehensive. That being said, the
discipline of thermodynamics builds upon itself and therefore students will frequently be
relying on early concepts late into the The semester. final exam, however, WILL be
comprehensive.
5. To encourage regular class attendance to the appropriate sections, 5 to 6 unscheduled
quizzes will be given throughout the semester at the instructors discretion. Each section
is treated separately and one may not receive a quiz on the same day or topic as the other.
You must attend the section to which you are enrolled.
6. 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.
7. Honesty Policy All students admitted to the University of Florida have signed a
statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic work
and understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary
action. This statement is a reminder to uphold your obligation as a UF student and to be
honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this course and all others.
8. Accommodation for Students with Disabilities Students requesting classroom
accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Office. That office will
provide the student with documentation that he/she must provide to the course instructor
when requesting accommodation.
9. UF Counseling Services Resources are available on-campus for students having
personal problems or lacking clear career and academic goals. The resources include:
- University Counseling Center, 301 Peabody Hall, 392-1575, Personal and Career
Counseling
- SHCC Mental Health, Student Health Care Center, 392-1171, Personal and Counseling.
- Center for Sexual Assault/Abuse Recovery and Education (CARE), Student Health Care
Center, 392-1161, sexual assault counseling
- Career Resource Center, Reitz Union, 392-1601, career development assistance and
counseling
10. Software Use All faculty, staff and student s 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.
