Thermal System Design

Catalog description

This course combines thermofluid concepts to analyze and design valves, nozzles, diffusors, pumps, fans, piping system, heat exchangers, and heating and cooling systems. An introduction is also made to the power and energy management systems. Following theoretical analysis; emphasis is placed on computer simulation and computer aided design using appropriate software. This course also introduces optimization techniques and how they are incorporated into the thermal design process.
