Courses

Liquid-gas interfacial heat and mass transfer

ME-446

This course covers the fundamental analysis of liquid-gas interfacial heat and mass transfer in various contexts including power generation, water purification, and cooling. Students will learn about the multiscale physics involved in evaporation, boiling, and condensation.

Thermodynamics and energetics I

ME-251

The course introduces the basic concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer, and thermodynamic properties of matter and their calculation. The students will master the concepts of heat, mass, and momentum conservation, and apply these concepts to thermodynamic cycles and energy conversion systems.
