Engineering Thermodynamics has been the core course of many science and engineering majors at home and abroad, including energy and power, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace, cryogenic refrigeration, food engineering, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering, among which gas power cycle is one of the important contents. However, many Engineering Thermodynamics textbooks at home and abroad focus only on evaluating the thermal efficiency of gas power cycle, while the important concept of specific cycle net work is ignored. Taking an ideal Otto cycle and an ideal Brayton as examples, the optimum compression ratio (or the pressure ratio) and the maximum specific cycle net work are analyzed and determined. The ideal Otto and the ideal Brayton cycles, and also other gas power cycles, are concluded that the operation under the optimum compression/pressure ratio of the engine, instead of under the higher efficiency, is more economic and more reasonable. We concluded that the two very important concepts, i.e., the maximum specific cycle net work and the optimum compression (or pressure) ratio for the gas power cycles, should be emphasized in the Engineering Thermodynamics teaching process and the latter revised or the newly edited textbooks, in order to better guide the engineering applications. In the end, general T-s diagram is proposed for the gas power cycles.

A goal of Introductory Physics for Life Sciences (IPLS) curricula is to prepare students to effectively use physical models and quantitative reasoning in biological and medical settings. To assess whether this goal is being met, we conducted a longit
From 2001 to 2007, COSMOS provided a teaching and outreach venue for the Center for Adaptive Optics Professional Development Program (CfAO PDP). COSMOS is a four-week residential mathematics and science summer program for high-school students organiz
Energy is a complex idea that cuts across scientific disciplines. For life science students, an approach to energy that incorporates chemical bonds and chemical reactions is better equipped to meet the needs of life sciences students than a tradition
In the Fall of 2013, Georgia Tech offered a flipped calculus-based introductory mechanics class as an alternative to the traditional large-enrollment lecture class. This class flipped instruction by introducing new material outside of the classroom t
