After completing this paper, the students will be able to:
- Understand and apply the basic aspects of equipment design, heat transfer and thermodynamics to evaluate the cost and performance of heaters, boilers, compressors, expanders and power generation systems
- Understand and apply basic aspects of capital and operatingcost analysis, utilisation, efficiency, usability and risk to evaluate optimal energy-management solutions for various industry scenarios
- Understand the properties of water in various applications, such as cooling towers, process condensate, hot water and steam systems to evaluate and improve the performance and operation of the corresponding industrial systems
- Understand and apply heat-integration optimisation methods to improve complex industrial operations, such as thermally based power generation, steam methane reforming and separation systems
- Be able to identify a wide range of industrial energymanagement opportunities separate from the traditional academic context and develop workable improvement options to reduce overall costs or improve overall benefits mindful of both project and operations risks
