David Foster
TR 3:25PM - 4:40PM
|
An introductory engineering course about energy production, conversion, storage and utilization. The first half of the course covers energy and power metrics, material and energy balances and the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. The remainder of the course examines traditional and alternative energy sources, viewed through the lens of sustainable energy production and utilization over the next century. Course activities include homework assignments, exams, and a group design project. Emphasis is on assumption-based problem solving. Restrictions: Not open to engineering juniors and seniors

TR 12:30PM - 1:45PM
|
Junior level core chemical engineering course in classical thermodynamics. The laws of thermodynamics are covered with particular emphasis on application to chemical and engineering processes. Concepts include the conservation of energy in processes, the direction of spontaneous change, the limited efficiency in converting heat into useful power, and the composition of systems in phase and chemical equilibrium. Equations of state are used to model fluids and calculate their thermodynamic properties. Pre-reqs MATH 161-165, CHEM 131-204, and CHE 243.

CHE 244-1
TR 2:00PM - 3:15PM
|
An introduction to heat and mass transfer mechanisms and process rates. The principles of energy and mass conservation serve to formulate equations governing conductive, convective, and radiative heat transfer as well as diffusive and convective mass transfer. Both steady-state and transient problems up to three dimensions are treated in the absence and presence of chemical reactions. The gained fundamental knowledge base is applied to design heat- and mass-transfer operations. Pre-reqs: CHE 243, PHY 121, MATH 165

TR 6:15PM - 7:30PM
|
This course will present principles of electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering, leading into design considerations for the development of battery and fuel cell systems. The course will prepare you to understand the role of energy conversion and storage to address environmental challenges, with specific focus on electric vehicles and load-leveling of the electric grid.
|
CHE 268-3
David Foster
TR 4:50PM - 6:05PM
|
This course will provide an introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with emphasis on both the theory and the practical application to simple and complex problems. The course begins with a study of finite difference and finite volume models of one-dimensional partial differential equations. These equations are central to the understanding of more complex CFD models. The course will use ANSYS Fluent, a commercial CFD code, to solve both simple and complex simulations including both laminar and turbulent flow as well as heat transfer. The course will be a combination of traditional lectures, in-class projects and independent project work.

|
An introduction to polymerization reaction mechanisms. The kinetics of commercially relevant polymerizations are emphasized along with a discussion of important, contemporary polymerization schemes. Approaches to functionalize polymers and surface-initiated polymerizations will also be covered. An overview of polymer characterization techniques, emphasizing compositional analysis, will be presented. The course is intended for graduate students in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, and Biomedical Engineering, but advanced undergraduates are welcome.
