Thermodynamics 2

Catalog description

This course focuses on the application and practice of thermodynamics as it relates to real-world heat and power systems. Heat and power systems serving as the focus of the class investigations are: • Internal-Combustion Reciprocating Engines • Vapor-Compression Refrigeration Systems • Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning Systems (HVAC) • Steam-Power Generation Systems • Gas Turbines • Combined Cycles • Cogeneration • Combustion Psychrometrics and combustion are significant topics investigated during this course. The systems noted as well as the additional topics covered in this class serve as primary arenas engineers focus attention on in real-world thermal-fluid systems analysis. Prerequisite: MENG 371. Offered spring term each year. Three semester hours.
