Energy systems are present in the operation of many products andthe manufacturing of products. In order to optimize those systems and processes, it isnecessary to develop an analysis methodology. This course will introduce students to realworld energy systems and develop analytic techniques for evaluating these systems. Goodproblem solving habits will be instilled by stressing a systematic problem solving process.Course Objectives- To use tables for finding thermo-physical properties- To use the 1st law to find heat and work for power producing devices- To use the 2nd law to identify realistic processes- To be able to design insulation systems- To be able to find heat transfer coefficients for laminar and turbulent, forced and naturalconvection flows- To design heat exchangers using the --NTU method- To design fins- To use numeric techniques for solving thermal engineering problemsCourse OutlineI.

I will do everything possible to always be available during theoffice hours stated above. If for some reason I am not able to make my office hours, the classwill be notified at least 1 day in advance (via e-mail). If you would like to meet with meoutside these office hours, please feel free to contact me at any time to schedule anappointment.Gary L.

You will be held responsible for allinformation transmitted via this format. This email distribution list will be used fordistribution of administrative announcements as well as general discussion. If you wish toask a question via e-mail, please send it to myself and the TA’s. We will strip any identifyinginformation from the e-mail message and answer the question, replying to the entire class. Inthis way, the entire class can benefit from your questions. This may serve as a starting pointfor further e-mail discussion if any student has any additional insight or questions on thetopic.Course Website:Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the course website:http://www.me.umn.edu/courses/me3324In addition to course logistic information, updates, and announcements, the course websitealso contains links to related websites. This useful resource will be updated through thesemester, so check back often.Course Textbook:The text for the course will be "Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences" by Y.A. Cengeland R.H. Turner. It provides an introductory overview review of thermodynamics, fluidmechanics, and heat transfer. Even though we will not be explicitly covering fluid mechanicsin this class, the fluids sections should provide a useful review for students. There is anerrata for the book at the website:Errata website: http://www.mhhe.com/engcs/mech/cengel/tfs/Copies of the textbook are available for purchase at Williamson Bookstore for approximately$120 new. Note that new copies of the book come with a CDROM that contains a studentversion of EES and solved sample problems from the book. While it is not a requirement ofthis course to use EES, knowledge and use of some numeric solver will be useful later in thecourse when we are covering numeric methods. Also, homework solutions later in the coursewill be accepted if they are completed using EES.Supplementary Readings:The text list below is not exhaustive or required. It is merely a list of additional resourcesthat may be of use to you now or later.Gary L. Solbrekken, Fall 2002ME3324 Introduction to Thermal Science Course Syllabus, Page 4ThermodynamicsH. C.
