MEEN 4313 Thermal System Design, Fall 2016
 
Analysis, modeling and design of thermal systems involving applications of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and engineering economics.


Course Objectives:
  • To provide mechanical engineering seniors an introduction to engineering design and design processes of thermal and energy systems utilizing fundamental knowledge of thermal and fluid sciences
  • To develop design skills in students by completing a design project in thermal and/or energy system as a group, preparing a technical report and making a presentation in class on the design project
After the course, the students will be able to (Course Outcomes) :
  • Apply design processes and procedures to the design of thermal systems
  • Utilize engineering specification to choose and size various components for the design of thermal systems
  • Compute cost of individual components as well as life cycle cost of a thermal system
  • Develop flowsheeting of the thermal systems for design purposes
  • Apply mathematical modeling and simulation techniques in the design of thermal systems
