Power Systems.

Catalog description

This course covers the use of renewable and non-renewable energy sources in power production. Energy conversion processes are analyzed, and performance characteristics of components and systems are modeled using modern computational methods. Engine component matching for design using analysis routines, including centrifugal and axial flow turbines and compressors, inlets, diffusers, nozzles, fans, and propellers. Applications may also include design of nuclear, solar, wind, wave, thermoelectric, and geothermal energy systems. (Elective) Prerequisites: EG3342 and EG3343.
