Diversity and Multicultural Issues:
Enhancing awareness of diversity and multicultural issues, and integrating
diverse activities in teaching and learning, should improve teaching and
learning environment and outcomes, and thus contribute to the betterment of
quality of life, productivity and standard of living, and ultimately improve
happiness of individuals and harmony of whole society. More info at:

Special Needs/Disabilities: Any
student requiring accommodations or services due to a disability or special need
should contact
CAAR-Center
for Access-Ability Resources (University Health Service - Fourth
Floor). The CAAR can also arrange to provide course materials (including this
syllabus) in alternative formats if necessary.

Course/Catalog Description:
MEE 452: DESIGN OF THERMAL SYSTEMS. Credit 3. Application of principles of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics in the component design of thermal systems. Examples are drawn from power generations, environmental control, and industrial processes. Students work on group projects for integration of these components in the design of thermal systems. PRQ: MEE350 and MEE352.Class schedule:
MWF 3-3:50 pm, in EB 221Textbook: Hodge, B.K. and R.P. Taylor, Analysis and Design of Energy Systems, 3rd Edition, Prentice Hall, 1999.

Grading Policy:
Homework, Special Problems and Computer Assignments 25%; Project(s): 25%
Examinations: Midterm(s) 20%, Final 30%. If any item is not required/graded for the whole class, the other items are prorated proportionally. Final Exam is comprehensive and its passing grade is required to pass the course.Goals:
Students are expected to review and use engineering science knowledge from thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, understand and be comfortable with thermal system component analysis and their synthesis in integral engineering systems and processes. Engineering design requires making decisions, data acquisition, and codes/standards compliance. Emphasis upon thermal/energy systems components such as heat exchangers, piping networks, and pumps; system modeling and introduction to the use of uncertainty in design.Prerequisites:
Fluid Mechanics (MEE 340), Engineering Thermodynamics (MEE 350), and Heat Transfer (MEE 352).Course Outline / Reading Assignments - (Tentative)

Computer Usage:
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. MathCAD application software is used throughout the Textbook and will be our main choice for this course instruction. However, students may use any other application software on their-own to accomplish the objectives of the course or for their project.
