Modeling and optimization of thermal systems with a focus on heat-pumping equipment, such as vapor compression, absorption, and some advanced heat-pumping cycles. Students combine the use of thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and numerical methods to develop and apply mathematical models for the analysis and optimization of specific equipment. Offered in alternate years.
Learning Outcomes1Develop a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of thermal systems' modeling and analysis.
2Develop a detailed understanding of vapor compression systems, absorption systems, and other advanced heat pumping equipment.
