ME 00 Thermodynamics Fall 07 Exam Circle your structor s last name Division : Naik Division : Wassgren Division 6: Braun Division : Sojka Division 4: Goldenste Division 7: Buckius Division 8: Meyer INSTRUCTIONS This is a closed book and closed notes exam. Equation sheets and all needed tables are provided. Significant credit for each problem is given if you identify your system and its boundary, draw the relevant energy flows on a diagram i.e. Energy Flow Diagram (EFD), start your analysis with the basic equations, list all relevant assumptions, and have appropriate units and use three significant figures. There is no need to re-write the given and fd. Do not hesitate to ask if you do not comprehend a problem statement. For your own benefit, please write clearly and legibly. You must show your work to receive credit for your answers. Do not write on the back of any page because it will not be scanned so will not be graded. If you need extra paper raise your hand and a proctor will supply it. IMPORTANT NOTE The use of PDAs, Blackberry-type devices, cell phones, laptop computers, smart watches or any other sources of communication (wireless or otherwise) is strictly prohibited durg examations. Dog so is cheatg. If you brg a smart watch, cell phone, or other communication device to the examation, it must be turned off prior to the start of the exam, placed your backpack, and the backpack must be stored below your seat. It shall be reactivated only after you leave the examation room for the fal time. Otherwise it is a form of cheatg and will be treated as such. SECOND IMPORTANT NOTE The only calculators allowed for use on this exam are those of the TI-0X series. No others.
