Combustion
Heat exchangers
Exergy Analysis
Definition and derivation
Applications
System simulationand optimization
Heat exchanger networks
Sequential substitution
Search methods
Geometric and linear programming
Goals
1) Improve understanding of the context in which thermal systems operate in order to improve problem formulation skills.
2) Improve understanding of engineering and operating principles in order to enhance intuition to improve conceptual design skills.
3) Improve understanding of economics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics to improve thermal system modeling skills.
4) Improve ability to simulate and optimize systems to improve optimization skills.
5) Improve ability to communicate technical information.
