MNE 421 - Thermal Systems Design

4 credits S
Prerequisites: MNE 252, 332, 411
Mechanical Engineering applications of Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, and Heat Transfer. The design and operation of thermal engineering systems and components, including heat exchangers, thermal engines and refrigeration systems are considered from the combined mechanics of materials, heat transfer, fluid dynamic and thermodynamic point of view. Design optimization of components to minimize energy destruction/entropy generation are studied along with economic considerations. The course includes a thermal design project.
