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
