ME 4490 - Modeling and Optimization of Energy Systems

Credits: 3
Application of principles of thermodynamics, fluids, and heat and mass transfer in the component and system-level design of energy/thermal systems, including modeling, simulation and optimization techniques. Examples are drawn from building environmental control, energy conversion and thermal industrial processes. Students work on projects for integration of these components in the design of energy/thermal systems. Requires enrollment in associated laboratory session.
