MEEN 5312 OPTIMIZATION OF THERMAL SYSTEMS SPRING 2013 COURSE OVERVIEW Course Description: ME 5313 Optimization of Thermal Systems.

. 3 Credit-Hour. The course deals with the design and optimization of thermal systems. The course covers selection of typical components of thermal systems such as heat exchangers, pumps, and fans, economic analysis of thermal systems, system simulations, and different methods of optimization, and their applications in the optimization of thermal systems culminated in a group optimization project. A formal oral presentation of a written technical report is required. Prerequisites: MEEN 3310, 3340, 3380 This course is designed to provide an introduction to design and design optimization utilizing the thermal systems background of the students. Design projects are assigned so that students have the opportunity to carry out a project that bridges the gap between their education and pending engineering practice. Each group of students is required to verbally submit an optimization design project using the class as design consultants, verbally present the final optimized design to the class, and submit a formal design report.

Course Objectives:

Course Outcomes:

After the course, the students will be able to do the followings: Apply design processes and procedures to the design of thermal systems. Develop flowsheeting of the thermal systems for design purposes. Utilize engineering specification to choose and size various components for the design of thermal systems. Compute cost of individual components as well as life cycle cost of a thermal system. Apply mathematical modeling and simulation techniques in the design of thermal systems. Apply optimization techniques to design of thermal systems.

Students with Disabilities: In coordination with the Director of SFSWD, every effort will be made for this course to become a meaningful component of a students individualized education plan. Plagiarism and Cheating: Students are specifically warned against all forms of cheating and plagiarism. The Lamar University Student Handbook states: Any student found guilty of dishonesty in any phase of academic work will be subject to disciplinary action. Punishable offences include, but are not limited to, cheating on an examination or academic work which is to be submitted, plagiarism, collusion, and the abuse of resource materials. (81) One aspect of the handbooks definition of cheating is, purchasing, or otherwise acquiring and submitting as ones own work any research paper or other writing assignment prepared by an individual or firm (82). Plagiarism is defined as, the appropriation and the unacknowledged incorporation of anothers work or ideas into ones own offered for credit (82). Students seeking to avoid plagiarism should consult with the course instructor, recent handbooks like The Little, Brown Handbook and the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, consultants in the Writing Center, or websites such as http://www.utexas.edu/depts /doc/sjs/academicintegrity2.html. The Texas State University System has established the following Disciplinary Procedures for Academic Dishonesty: (1) Academic Process. All academic dishonesty cases may be first considered and reviewed by the faculty member. If the faculty member believes that an academic penalty is necessary, he/she may assign a penalty but must notify the student of his/her right to appeal to the department chair, the dean, and eventually, to the vice president for academic affairs (whose decision shall be final) before imposition of the penalty. At each step in the process, the student shall be entitled to written notice of the offense and/or of the administrative decision, and opportunity to respond, and an impartial disposition as to the merits of his/her case. After completion of the academic process, the academic officer making final disposition of the case shall refer the matter to the chief student affairs officer for any additional discipline that may be appropriate. Disciplinary Process. In the case of flagrant or repeated violations, the chief student affairs officer may take such additional disciplinary action as he/she deems appropriate. No disciplinary action shall become effective against the student until the student has received procedural due process under Subsection 5.6 and following exception as provided under Subsection 5.15 of the Texas State University System Board of Regents Handbook
