Thermodynamics Chapter One

(Norsk)
Right! In the course UNI2002 Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, where I do the thermodynamics lectures, we are well into chapter two. Chapter one is an introductory chapter, introducing concept such as heat, work and system. We have looked at the different properties and units we will be using the most in this course. We have talked about how to determine the state of the working fluid and what is meant by reversibility. Then we looked at the first law of thermodynamics, conservation of energy and the non-flow and steady-flow equations. My lecture notes from chapter one can be found here.

First lecture in Mechanical Design

Yesterday I held my first lecture in Mechanical Design. We talked about designing in general, strength calculations, safety factors and did an example calculation. I also got time to introduce the next chapter we will be working on, which is welded connections. We will continue with those on Friday this week.

The lecture notes can be found here (in Norwegian). And the recommended problems can be found here (in Norwegian).

I have also held a few lectures in Thermodynamics, but I will be "saving up" lecture notes there until I can post complete chapters.

Lecturing at Stord/Haugesund University College

This semester I will be lecturing in the courses Mechanical Design (in Norwegian) and Thermodynamics (in English) and intend to post the material I create for the students here (lecture notes, exercise solutions, etc.) at a leisurely pace during the semester. You will find everything under the Education banner.

I've put in my planned schedule at Stord/Haugesund University College here, so that my students know when/where to find me:
