This course focuses on the inevitable tradeoffs associated with any thermodynamic or heat transfer system, which result in a clear distinction between workable and optimal systems. The point is illustrated by means of a number of concrete problems arising in power and refrigeration systems, electronics cooling, distillations columns, heat exchange, and co-generation systems. Prerequisite(s): An undergraduate heat transfer course.
Course Prerequisite(s)
***Mechanical Engineering students only: Must complete core course first (EN.535.641 Mathematical Methods for Engineers).
