Thermodynamics

Part A of the ME 2222 Thermodynamics examination focuses on the foundational laws of thermodynamics and their direct engineering applications. Students will demonstrate their understanding of energy conservation, steady-flow systems, and the Second Law concept of entropy. The three questions progressively build from conceptual definitions through mathematical derivations to quantitative problem solving, reflecting the analytical depth expected at this level of mechanical engineering study. Part A carries a total of 40 marks and students are expected to complete it within approximately 80 minutes, leaving clear, well-structured workings for each calculation.
