ME 419L Thermal-Fluid Systems Design Lab

Credits: (0-1) 1

Investigation and design of thermal and fluid systems and components, emphasizing the major thermal/fluid design issues that arise in internal combustion engine power conversion, steam generation and use, heating and ventilation of buildings, internal conduit flow; analysis and synthesis involving modeling and optimization of thermo-fluid systems, components, and processes. Review of the basics of the design process and physical processes important to thermal-fluid problems (basic thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics), the fundamentals of building and solving mathematical models, and design issues and concepts will be discussed. The laboratory will include experiments to complement the lecture material and provide a means for hands on validations of concepts.
