to define this important property. It isnormally designated as S with units of energy per absolute temperature, e.g., BTU/˚R or cal/K. Furthermore, entropycalculations can provide quantitative information on the “quality” of energy and energy degradation (2, 3). There are a number of other phenomena which cannot be explained by the law of conservation of energy. Itis the second law of thermodynamics that provides an understanding and analysis of these diverse effects. However,among these considerations, it is the second law that can produce the means of measuring the aforementioned“quality” of energy, including its effect on the design and performance of heat exchangers. Exergy is another term that is closely related to both

During my lessonplanning prior to class, I strategically outline in my mind which problems I will personallyreview in class on the board and which problem(s) I will have the students attempt on their ownduring the lesson period in class. Typically, I do not allocate more than 15 minutes of class timeto student reflection on a particular because I need the remaining lesson time review the problemand introduce the other problems on the

, but not on GPA, because there are more grades that exceed100% that provide no benefit to a GPA increase. Spring 2010 currently has a 94.2% average,while Spring 2009 had an 87.1% average, Spring 2007 had an 86.5% average and Spring 2008had an 88.9% average. Partly contributory to Spring 2010’s higher grade is the incoming GPAof the students. Furthermore, the first midterm exam was completed with an 84.8% averagewhich significantly reduced their course average at this point. The reduction of requiredassignments has hindered the student’s ability to complete an exam satisfactorily within a timelimit due to lack of practice.

they apply to college students today. These theories are Classical Conditioning,Operant Conditioning and Social Learning. We will all recognize the learning patterns of ourstudents in all three theories. Classical Conditioning Classical Conditioning grew out of experiments to teach dogs to salivate in response to the ringing of a bell, conducted in the early 1900’s by Russian Psychologist Ivan Pavlov.4 This study connects an unconditioned stimulus to a conditioned stimulus and eventually to an unconditioned response. But students seldom learn as a response to a stimulus so this theory doesn’t really apply to college learning. Operant Conditioning Operant Conditioning is much more applicable to

integration about 1906.During the 1700’s, developments in mathematical theory were dominated by Leonhard Euler.Euler had more mathematical insight, made more mathematical discoveries and had moremathematical fun than anyone else either before or since except maybe Erdos. However, theviews of Euler on the nature of mathematics differed sharply from the views of the nineteenthcentury mathematicians. In fact, he understood a function to be in the constellation of ideasregarding equations in two variables, curves and tables. To quote David M. Bressoud4: … to the mathematicians before 1807, functions were polynomials, roots, powers, and logarithms; trigonometric functions and their inverses; and whatever could be built up by addition
