Class Participation and Preparation Evaluation
Name: _____________Class Period: Nov. 18
1. Class Participation Score: 8/8State whether you attended the
previous class period and actively engaged in the class activities.
Which course outcomes were supported by the class activities?
Assign your score based on the extent to which participating in the
previous class helped you achieve these course outcomes.
I attended the previous class period and was very engaged in the
activities. We had a discussion on gas power cycles. We focused on
power cycles, carnot efficiencies, and the air-standard assumption.
Outcomes 2, 3 and 5 were supported by class.
2. Reading Score: 7/7State whether you read each of assigned
sections prior to class. Which course outcomes were supported by
the assigned reading? Assign your score based whether you completed
the assigned reading and on the extent the reading helped you
achieve course outcomes.
I completed the assigned reading from the textbook for today
that included 9.5-9.7. It focused on power cycle such as Carnot,
Ericcson, and Diesel. It is important to correctly identify
property relationships. Particularly Outcome 5Conservation of Mass
and Energy and Outcome 6 Increasing Entropy were supported by the
reading.
3. Example Problems Score: 5/5State whether you thoroughly
reviewed at least one of the assigned example problems. Which
course outcomes were supported by the example problem(s) that you
reviewed? Assign your score based on the extent to which reviewing
the example problem(s) helped you achieve these course
outcomes.
I looked through three of the example problems and they were
straight forward though new conceptually. This section is much more
complex than previous sections. They were helpful for me to
understand mass flow in an unsteady system and how work relates to
entropy balance.
Outcome 1 Problem solving; Outcome 2 Thermodynamic Systems;
Outcome 5 Conservation of Mass and Energy; Outcome 6 Increasing
Entropy
4. Questions Score: 5/5Ask any unresolved questions resulting
from your reading or from your review of example problems. What are
your questions regarding basic concepts and fundamental laws
described in the assigned reading? What are your questions
regarding modeling and analysis performed in the example problems
you reviewed? If you do not have any questions, pose a question you
believe would be a good question for a class discussion or for an
exam.
Why is a diesel engine considered internally reversible while a
Carnot engine is considered completely reversible?
Total Score:25/25
