ME 4170 - Design of Thermal Systems


Design of systems in which thermodynamics, transport behavior, and optimization techniques are major considerations. Emphasis on total design approach including factors such as cost and reliability. Typical systems include power, propulsion, environmental, and cryogenic. Design project and report required.
