ENME423 (PermReq)Building Cooling Heating and Power Systems;(3
credits) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD. Prerequisite: ENME 232 and ENME 332.
Introduction to the
evaluation of cooling, heating and power requirements of
buildings. Description, design and evaluation of
state-of-the-art and emerging integrated cooling, heating and
power systems (engines, micro-turbines, absorption and desiccant
systems) as they are applied to buildings. The course uses the
Chesapeake building facility and the campus cogeneration
facility as real-life demonstration examples. Delivered via ITV.
ENME635 Energy
Systems Analysis;(3 credits) Grade Method: REG/AUD.
Prerequisites: ENME 633 or equivalent or permission of
instructor. Rankine cycles with nonzeotropic working fluid
mixtures, two-multi-, and variable stage absorption cycles and
vapor compression cycles with solution circuits. Power
generation cycles with working fluid mixtures. Development of
rules for finding all possible cycles suiting a given
application or the selection of the best alternative.

Grad Meth: Reg, Aud
Credit only granted for: ENPM651 or ENPM808P. Formerly: ENPM808P.
The applications selected will vary widely: from cooling of electronics to prevention of fog and stalagmite formation in ice rinks. Multi-mode (i.e. simultaneous conduction, convection, radiation, mass transfer) problems will be emphasized. Lectures on basic principles, followed by assignments in which students formulate solutions and explain results.
