WHAT

Dear Registered ME2121 Students:

Please note that in this semester's ME2121 exam paper, there will be four questions and you are to answer all four of them. Each question will carry the same marks. Tables of Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of Fluids (5th Edition) by G.F.C. Rogers and Y.R. Mayhew and ASHRAE Psychrometric Chart No. 1 will be provided if required. You might like to get familiar with the format of the tables of Rogers and Mayhew, which are a little different from those of Cengel & Boles, particularly for superheated steam and refrigerant properties.

"The lecture slides merely highlight main concepts, principles and applications discussed in the present module. For more complete learning, please study the appropriate sections in the reference text."

This means that the lecture slides are to be used as a guide to what is covered in the module (and are not meant to be comprehensive) and the text book is to be used to find the relevant topics for more complete study. The sections of the text indicated in the slides and course website are also to be used as a guide e.g. the cascade refrigeration cycle has been discussed in class and is therefore an examinable topic but it is discussed in Section 11.7, C&B, 5th ed (which has not been indicated in the website). The appropriate part of Section 11.7 should be referred to for more complete study. I did not indicate this section as there is a lot more material in this section that I did not cover.

Wishing you the best in your exams,

Dr Christopher Yap
Associate Professor
Department of Mechanical Engineering

WTF!!!


This is a sign...
A sign telling me not to take anymore thermo related modules...

I very much want to tear up all my thermo lecture notes...
