Next Generation Heat Exchangers and Thermal Management Systems with a Focus on Energy Efficiency 

This course will be offered in two modules. The first module (total of 7 hours instruction) will focus on next generation heat exchangers (HXs) and thermal management systems, with case examples in electronics, energy/energy services, refrigeration/HVAC, and transportation systems. The second Module (total of 4 hours instruction) will focus specifically on thermal management and energy efficiency of electronics with particular emphasis on efficient data center thermal management design infrastructure. The focus of the course will be on energy efficiency and the methods that may be most suitable to meet future needs of diverse applications.
