Course Content This course aims to make you competent in designing real energy conversion devices by implementing the fundamental knowledge you gathered in Thermodynamics I (ME 237). While dealing with the conventional energy conversion devices, e.g., heat engines, major gas and vapor cycles of work producing heat engines e.g., Otto, Diesel, Stirling, Rankine, etc. are thoroughly covered.
