Instructor(s)/Supervisor(s)/Coordinator(s): Chi Wai HUIFor most energy intensive industries, such as process industry, the effectiveness of using energy plays a key role in improving their competitiveness and at the same time reducing environmental impacts. By knowing how energy equipment is designed and can be integrated, engineers could maximize the efficiency of a production system and sometimes simultaneously reduce capital investment and environmental burdens. Students will conduct several design projects in which they will apply computer software, such as Excel, Aspen+, GAMS and SPRINT, to design, integrate and optimize energy systems such as heat exchanger network, power plant, fuel conversion plant, etc.
