Thermal Systems Design

Advanced heat transfer, thermodynamic, and fluid flow topics important for the design of thermal systems are presented. Sustainability and creation care topics are covered as they pertain to energy generation and fossil fuel resource depletion. Availability (exergy) analysis and methods for the optimization of system components are discussed. Selection and design of fluid flow and heat transfer equipment used in energy conversion systems are emphasized. Economic evaluation is studied. A co-generation system is studied throughout the semester to emphasize basic principles of analysis and design. A design project focused on sustainable energy generation or energy conservation is required
