Course Code: EST 451
Course Title : Design of Energy Systems
Weekly Class and Application Hours: 3-0
Short Course Description:
The students will be taught the principles of thermal systems modelling, their simulation and optimization of theirdesign. The course intends to use prior knowledge from other courses so that the student can convert their scientific knowledge into practicalengineering applications. The course will include: Introduction to the design of energy systems; Feasible and optimal design; Heat Transfer andFluid mechanics; Component analysis of thermal systems; Modelling of the thermal systems’ components; Computer simulation of thermalsystems; Introduction to economic analysis and cost/ thermal efficiency design as an optimization parameter; Practical applications.
