ENGR 4230U – Thermofluids and Energy Systems Design I


This course constitutes the first part of a two term design endeavour which will culminate in ENGR 4231U – Thermofluids and Energy Systems Design II . It covers the science and morphology of design as applied to thermal, fluids and energy processes and systems. Design criteria include energy efficiency, environmental impact, economics etc. Students work in small groups of three or four on thermofluids and energy systems processes or component projects in which they integrate the principles of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer into designs. The project topics are in thermofluids and energy systems area such as heat exchangers, cooling towers, combustion systems, power plant systems, air conditioning systems, heat pumps, pipe networks, design and selection of pumps, blowers, compressors etc. By the end of this course the students will have completed the following parts of their project: customer requirements; background search; design and analysis plan; brainstorming; preliminary project presentation; preliminary design report.
