Introduction
This unit aims to deliver the fundamental concepts involved in the discipline area of Engineering Thermodynamics that entails the
processes in thermal plants and energy conversion related to work and heat interaction. The unit lays the foundation for the
subsequent course units Thermal Engineering Processes 331,Heat Transfer 431 and Advanced Refrigeration System Design.
Unit Learning Outcomes
All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that,
through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would
be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of
learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what
you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully
designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments
you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.
Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through
the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Learning Activities
This unit will have a twohourlecture and a one hour workshopper week, that are conducted personally by the designated lecturers.
The lecture notes are made available through the BlackBoard interface. Students are exposed to application skills through set
problems given out in tutorial sheets and discussed during the onehour tutorial class per week, starting from Week 2. The unit also
comprise one 2-hour laboratory session involving designated lab groups, as published in the BlackBoard interface.
This unit contains very conceptual material, which iscontinuously developed during lectures and demonstrated through tutorials.
Lecture notes alone will not be sufficient to acquire necessary analytical and application skills. Regular attendance at lectures and
tutorialsis of the utmost importancefor successful completion of this unit.
Through lectures, workshopsand tutorials, this unit emphasises fundamental understanding of concepts and application principles,
not formula-basedlearning. As such, what aretraditionally called "Formula Sheets" will not be provided with assessments. Equations
unique to this unit and specifically required for exam problems will be given along with each problem in the exam paper. Such
equations will be clearly identified during lectures. All other elementary expressions will be treated as "common knowledge" which
students are supposed to have acquired through prior learning.
Tutorials for this unit are conducted as Problem Solving Sessions, where the tutor will discuss tutorial sheet problems in detail
demonstrating application principles & solution procedure. These sessions are designed to complement lectures and workshops, and
to consolidate concepts presented. Students are expected to try given problems on their own before coming to these classes.
Students are strongly urged to attend problem solving sessions, which will immensely benefit towards high academic achievement in
this unit. In addition to the standard tutorials, a set of supplementary tutorials will also beprovided as an additional study
aid.Solutions to supplementary solutions will not be provided,although numerical answers are provided in the tutorial sheets.

Assessment
Assessment schedule
Detailed information on assessment tasks
1. The class test will be held during the regular 2 hour lecture timeslot. The exact day and time will be announced via OCC, in
lectures and on blackboard later in semester.
2. See the timetable published in blackboard for confirmation of lab groups and times.
3. Exam date, time and venue will be announced via the centrally scheduled exam timetable
Fair assessment through moderation
Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that
student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the
Assessment Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm
Late assessment policy
This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and
that penalties are consistently applied.
1. All assessments which students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on the Unit Outline.
2. Accepting late submission of assignments or other work will be determined by the unit coordinator or Head of School and will
be specified on the Unit Outline.
3. If late submission of assignments or other work is not accepted, students will receive a penalty of 100% after the due date and
time ie a zero mark for the late assessment.
4. If late submission of assignments or other work is accepted, students will be penalised by ten percent per calendar day for a
late assessment submission (eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the
marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assignment worth 20 will have two marks deducted
per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and marked as 12/20, the student would receive 6/20.
An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked. Work submitted after this time (due date plus
seven days) may result in a Fail - Incomplete (F-IN) grade being awarded for the unit.
Assessment extension
A student wishing to delay the completion or submission of an assessment task after the original published date/time (eg
examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form
(available from the Forms page at http://students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the
responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that
prevented them from completing/submitting the assessment task.
The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment

date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment
task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior
to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners'
meeting.
Additional assessment information
ApplicableLate Assessment Policy and Penalties for Thermodynamics 236
It is to be noted that the conditions given below are the applicableLate Assessment Policy and Penalties for Thermodynamics 236.
