Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Lectures 10 and 11 are both lectures that were shortened to give students the ability to do homework in class. This may not be true for your section. I have decided that since they are so short and contain so little lecture material I will group them. Lecture 10 covers why we study open systems with a walk-through of a turbine. Lecture 11 covers more steady-state flow systems.

Lecture 10 consisted of going over open systems and how our equations will change to fit those situations. The majority of the lecture was conceptually understanding open systems in thermodynamics by explaining how/why we use turbines. Followed by an example and the ICA. For my class, Lecture 11 was cut very short so we could use the rest as "Office Hours." This may not be true for your classes. There was a small 10-minute lecture at the beginning of class which I have in my notes.

Lecture 12 consisted of a short explanation of what Entropy is in relation to the example used in Lecture 11. Following the short lecture, Prof. Olson allowed us to work through an activity he provided. Not any new material but gives a small explanation as to what we have been doing the last few lectures

Notes incorporating what was said during the lecture as well as what I though was important from going over it after class. Has examples that the professor walked through with little notes from me when I left was needed.

Topics covered in the first lecture on Thermodynamics. A collaboration between what was taught in class and what I learned after going through it myself. These were more introductory classes so there isn't much arithmetic besides some basic formulas given to us.
