MECH 4690 - Thermal System Design

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

A practical course wherein students analyze, design, and create small thermal systems. The course includes an overview of relevant thermodynamics and heat transfer principles. The course additionally covers the analysis and design of heat exchangers and thermal finite element analysis. Concepts are reinforced through mini design projects. ***COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)*** At the successful conclusion of this course students will: 1. Use principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer to design temperature-controlled systems. 2. Design a basic heat exchanger system. 3. Use thermal finite element analysis (FEA) to model and analyze thermal systems. 4. Create a prototype temperature-controlled system. 5. Describe and explain various available options for heating, cooling, and insulating small spaces/objects. Prerequisites: (MECH 2250 AND MECH 3650) (Grade C- or higher) OR Instructor Permission. FA
