ME 3105 - Applied Thermodynamics3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course is a continuation of the thermodynamic sequence, with emphasis on applications of thermodynamic principles to typical engineering systems.New topics include internal combustion engine cycles, thermodynamic property relations, psychrometrics, combustion, with an introduction to renewable energy technologies. Design projects and laboratory experiments are used to illustrate the application of First and Second law analysis and heat transfer. Devices such as engines, refrigeration cycles, cogeneration systems, and solar energy systems will be experimentally studied. (prereq: ME 3102 , ME 318 )
