EGET 1401 - ENERGY SYSTEMS EFFICIENCY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course focuses the energy efficiency of the most energy intensive systems in society. The efficiency of energy systems in the following areas will be selected and analyzed: energy conversions systems in: industry, commercial and residential buildings, transportation, and power production. Components of industrial processes, such boilers, heat exchangers, electro-chemical reactors, pumps, mixers, vacuums, and material conveyance systems, will be described energy efficiency within the context of conservation laws. Commercial and residential building's efficiency will be described in reference to insulation, HVAC systems, refrigeration, consumer electronics, and lighting technologies. The efficiency of automobiles, trains, and airplanes will be analyzed with emphasis on aerodynamic, heat loss, and controls. The economics energy efficiency and notions of return on investment will be used to assess emerging technologies' potential for adoption.
