Open-book, 3-hour paper. Part A (Thermodynamics, Q1–Q4) and Part B (Heat Transfer, Q5–Q8); the rubric grades any five (three from one part, two from the other), all of equal value. All eight questions are solved in full. Freon-12 property values are read from the saturated and superheated tables printed in the exam appendix (pages 4–5).
