Thermal Systems Engineering
2 credits
Course Purpose
Understanding thermal systems is critical to the design of an internal combustion engine. This course will cover thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer as they apply to the internal combustion engine. Going beyond traditional undergraduate thermal science education, the course will introduce topics covered in the Engine Fluid Dynamics and Engine Performance and Combustion courses and prepare you for further advanced topics critical to engine design.
Course Objective
Understand the fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and combustion processes within the internal combustion engine.
