Teaching Method
Outline:
In this lecture, students will first learn about steam-based thermal cycles, or the Rankine cycle. Then, they will learn about compound cycles with combination of the Brayton cycle, and frozen cycles. In the second half of the semester, they will learn about the basics of heat transfer, and learn about the basics and applications of magnetic heat convection.
Style:
Classes will be held in a lecture style. There will be assignments in every lesson to deepen understanding. (Liaison Seiichi Tanaka)
Notice:
Rather than memorizing knowledge, interpret basic thinking in your own mind. Ask questions actively if you don't understand.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
