The main objective is for students to understand the primary uses of thermal energy in industrial processes and their relevance to achieving carbon-neutral emissions. To this end, students will learn to identify various industrial processes and understand how their equipment operates. They will be able to design and select appropriate thermal equipment to enhance process performance and efficiency. A key focus of the course will be understanding how to replace conventional processes with technologies that enable industrial decarbonization. Renewable energy-based systems capable of supporting more efficient, carbon-neutral industrial processes will be explored and applied.
