MET 32300 - Applied Thermodynamics And Heat Transfer

Prerequisite(s): PHYS 22000 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- AND MA 16021 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D-

Credit Hours: 3.00. This course focuses on studying thermodynamic concepts including open and closed systems, thermo-physical properties of fluids and gasses, laws of thermodynamics and industrial applications in designing power and refrigeration cycles, as well as covering fundamental topics such as efficiency, exergy, and heat transfer mechanisms (Conduction, convection, and radiation). Investigation of performances of internal combustion engines and heat exchanges will also be explored. Laboratory sessions will cover practical applications of thermodynamics and heat transfer, focusing on solving current industrial problems associated with waste heat recover, solar photovoltaic energy generation, thermal energy storage, thermoelectric generators. Lab work will include computer simulations (using software packages such as Matlab, Energy 2D, and Energy 3D) and practical laboratory sessions in studying fluid and gas flows, and heat transfer in systems and aggregates.
