CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
32254	Online Lecture	GR4	ARRANGED	n.a.	n.a.	Nawaz, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/26/24-12/11/24 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Heat Pumps Section Info: Heat pumps have been considered promising technology to achieve the national electrification and decarbonization goals. Principles and applications of heat pumps in various energy conversion systems. The first part of the course is focused on a general description of the thermodynamic principles of heat pumps, emphasizing the effects of the internal and external irreversibilities on the heat pumps’ performances. Various types of heat pumps (air-source, water source and geothermal) and main components will be analyzed, also concerning their reciprocal interactions and those with the thermal environment they are in contact with. Implications of various working fluids used in both vapor compression as well the absorption heat pumps will be explored. The second part of the course dealt with various type of applications where heat pumps can be deployed. A comprehensive life cycle climate performance (LCCP) will be explored to establish the feasibility of the technology. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

PREREQUISITE: A course in undergraduate thermodynamics is the formal pre-requisite for the class. Although we will briefly review selective topics for fluid mechanism and heat transfer, it is my assumption that you have seen them before, and I will be simply refreshing your memory. You should have some familiarity with the basic calculus and differential equations. This course is pre-approved by the MechSE UPO to count as a MechSE Elective course for ME students. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
