Course Objectives Students are expected to review and use basic knowledge from thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, understand and be comfortable with thermal system component analysis and their synthesis in integral enginnering systems and processes. Any design course invites extensive use of engineering application software in order to minimize tedious manual work and maximize efficiency of interpolation, iteration, what-if analysis, graphing etc.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students are expected to be comfortable with thermal system component analysis and their synthesis.
  • Design of complete thermal systems is stressed.
  • Students are also expected to do thermoeconomic optimization, thermoeconomic analysis and evaluation.
Course Content Sistem tasarım kavramları, matematiksel modelleme, optimizasyon metotları, büyük sistemlerin kararlı hal simülasyonu, fan, pompa, ısı değiştirgeçleri, lüleler ve difüzörler, kanallardaki akış, ısıl sistemlerin dinamik davranışı.
