Order ofthe material was determined by the object of analysis, not the tools used in the analysis. Materialis presented in a sequence that supports introduction of concepts from complex thermal-fluidsystem case studies such as a helicopter, the West Point power plant, a total air conditioningsystem, an automobile, and high performance aircraft.Study of most thermal-fluid mechanical systems requires knowledge from both traditionaldisciplines. Integration of topics reinforces the fundamental principles that span both disciplinesand gains efficiency since presenting fundamental properties and conservation principles occursonly

. Using virtual laboratories, a rapid understanding of factors influencing cycle efficiencycould be grasped by students even before they undertake fundamental thermodynamics study.Calculating Equilibrium CombustionThe process for calculating equilibrium distribution and adiabatic flame temperature can quicklybecome difficult if done by hand using Kp tables, especially as more species are added to themix. Chemical reactions involve energy, either through absorption or expulsion, usually in theform of heat. If all the reaction heat is used to raise the temperature of the products, the resultingtemperature is called the adiabatic flame temperature. If a flow reaction proceeds with negligiblechanges in kinetic and potential energy and no external

The approach is very helpful as it requires the students to solvevarious laboratory assignments as well as the working on the project. Individual professionalportfolios and roles were assigned to the students within each team such as design andmanufacturing engineer, etc. to motivate the students to show practical implications and real-lifeexperience. Investigation of the student performance characteristics of hybrid class for theengineering course of Statics was performed by Myose et al.

The stress variation with time at any point in the shaft can be considerednegligible; the safety factor can be determined with an appropriate static failure theory. The shaftis to be designed to support the loading shown in Figure 1. It is supported on self-aligningbearings (no bending resistance) at each end, and the left end bearing supports thrust (axial)loads.The shaft is to be made of mild steel, and the yield strength, Sy, is known with a high degree ofreliability from material testing laboratory tests.

The professor,who was experienced teaching the course, had become concerned about the level of learning andperceived lack of engagement on the part of the students. The flipped class method seemed to bea possible solution, since it had given indications of better understanding of course material.5Because this was a senior level class, the professor recognized that when the students graduatedin a few months, they would need to be able to take initiative and have knowledge to apply totheir heat
