CHEE 210 Thermodynamic properties of fluids

1. Winter 2014 Instructor: Dr. Brian Amsden Biosciences Complex, Room 1422amsden@queensu.ca CHEE 210Thermodynamic properties of fluids http://www.chemeng.queensu.ca/courses/CHEE210/ http://www.chemeng.queensu.ca/courses/CHEE210/

2. Thermodynamic Properties of Fluids • The field of thermodynamics was created out of the need to define how much heat energy could be transformed into useful work using a fluid (e.g. steam).

3. So? • Thermodynamics is concerned with the development of mathematical relationships between thermodynamic properties such as pressure, volume and temperature that define a system at equilibrium. These relationships are of critical importance in all aspects of engineeringand are used in the design and specification of mechanical systems (e.g. engines, pumps, air conditioners, turbines, compressors) used for purposes ranging from automobiles to biomedical devices.

4. Information and Logistics • Class Times • Tuesday 1:30 PM MacDonald Rm 1 • Wednesday 4:30 PM MacDonald Rm 1 • Friday 2:30 PM MacDonald Rm 1 • Tutorials • Friday 3:30 MacDonald Rm1 • Teaching Assistants: • Jessica Cui • ParisaKarimi • David Liao (Note that email addresses for TAs are on the course website)

5. Course Information and Logistics • Midterms (2) 50%, Final Exam 50% • Midterms will take place during the combined class/tutorial times (Fridays 2:30-4:00). • Midterm 1: February 7, 2014 • Midterm 2: March 14, 2014 • Reminder of departmental policy regarding passing of independent work. • “Students must pass the individual examination component (comprised of quizzes, midterms and the final exam) of a course to receive a passing grade. If a student does not pass the designated laboratory/project/assignment component, he/she will fail the entire course and be allocated a mark of FR (40‐49%). With this mark, the student may be eligible to write the supplemental exam in September.” • http://chemeng.queensu.ca/PDF/DepartmentalpoliciesRevJanuary2012.pdf

6. Course Information and Logistics • Reminder of departmental policy regarding missing a midterm: • “For students who miss a midterm test or quiz for legitimate reasons and provide the required supporting documentation (see Appendix A at link below), the weight of the midterm/quiz will be reassigned to the final exam. Otherwise, a missed midterm test or quiz will be given a grade of zero. No make‐up midterm tests or quizzes will be provided.” • http://chemeng.queensu.ca/PDF/DepartmentalpoliciesRevJanuary2012.pdf

7. Global Course Objectives • Build on concepts presented in APSC 131, 132 • Extend many of the concepts presented in CHEE 221 to other properties beyond mass and energy (Mining Engineers should review mass and energy balances from your process course). • Develop a deeper understanding of how the thermodynamic properties of fluids relate to processes such as: • the production of useful work as in turbine generators and power cycles • operation of pumps and compressors - refrigeration and the production of liquified gases.

9. One Way to Look at the Course • The first half of Smith, Van Ness and Abbott (SVA). • CHEE 210 covers most of the material in the first half of the text. The one criterion is that we avoid the chemical aspects of fluid thermodynamics. No reaction and no heats of mixing. • CHEE 311 covers most of the material in the second half of the text and covers heats of reaction etc.
