教授热系统设计需要一种综合方法，将热力学、流体力学和热传递等学科视为一个相互关联的领域的一部分，只有同时考虑所有这些方面，才能获得实际设计和分析问题的适当解决方案。这种方法必须通过开放式作业问题和设计项目导向教学来实施。必须解决的与暖通空调和其他热力系统相关的主题包括流体流动网络、热交换器设计、泵、风扇和压缩机的设计和选择、热回收系统、湿度计、空调系统、电子冷却系统、燃料和燃烧、太阳能热力系统和发电厂设计。本文介绍了一门教授此类系统设计和广泛热科学应用的课程。 本课程旨在通过教授建模和将物理情况转化为相关方程式的技能（而不是简单地解决问题中陈述良好的部分），减轻对定义不清的问题的恐惧。方程求解软件的使用减少了求解方程的工作量，并提供了更多关于热力系统建模方法的讨论机会，从而有助于实现这一重点。本课程使用的特定软件，内置了各种流体的热力学和热物理性质，并显著简化了迭代计算，也有助于教授系统中组件之间的相互作用，而无需繁琐的迭代和寻找流体性质。这使学生能够集中精力解释结果和趋势，而不是简单地报告数值结果。 该软件不是一个“哑巴解算器”或填鸭式的便利，因为学生必须根据他们对物理问题的理解输入描述控制过程的每个方程。因此，它为理解热现象提供了便利，但不提供拐杖或替代品，而且它可以作为一个通用平台在课程范围内实施，用于教授大多数热科学课程。学生还通过参数优化研究和经济分析，学习单个组件设计对整个系统的影响。论文中描述的项目直接有助于工业产品开发，同时为学生提供实际热设计的经验。本软件辅助课程为暖通空调行业提供了一个良好的平台- 为热过程的持续研究和创新技术的进步准备了必要的工程师团队。单元:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第105卷，第。1.

Teaching the design of thermal systems requires an integrated approach that treats subjects such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer as parts of one interconnected area, in which appropriate solutions to real-life design and analysis problems can be obtained only when all these aspects are considered simultaneously. This approach must be implemented through open-ended homework problems and design project-oriented teaching. Topics related to HVAC and other thermal systems that must be addressed include fluid flow networks, heat exchanger design, design and selection of pumps, fans and compressors, heat recovery systems, psychrometrics, air-conditioning systems, electronic cooling systems, fuels and combustion, solar thermal systems, and power plant design. A course that teaches the design of such systems and the wide array of thermal science applications is described in this paper. The course is specifically designed to allay the fear of ill-defined problems by teaching the skills to model and translate a physical situation into the relevant equations (rather than simply solving well-stated parts of a problem). The use of equation-solving software facilitates the implementation of this focus by reducing the effort involved in solving equations and affording the opportunity for more discourse on the approach toward modeling of thermal systems. The specific software used for this course, which has thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of a wide variety of fluids built in and simplifies iterative calculations significantly, also facilitates the teaching of interactions between components in systems without the tedium involved in iterations and finding fluid properties. This allows the student to concentrate on the interpretation of results and trends, rather than simply reporting the numerical results. The software is not a "dumb-solver" or a spoon-feeding convenience because the students have to input every equation describing the governing processes based on their understanding of the physical problem. Thus, it offers convenience but does not provide a crutch or a substitute for the understanding of thermal phenomena, and it can be implemented as a common platform on a curriculum-wide basis for teaching most thermal sciences courses. The student also learns the effect of individual component design on overall systems through parametric optimization studies and economic analyses. The projects described in the paper are contributing directly to product development in industry, while providing the students experience in practical thermal design. This software-assisted course is providing to the HVAC industry a well-prepared body of engineers essential for the contin-ued investigation of thermal processes and the advancement of innovative technology.Units: Dual
