Course Description
The objective of this course is, starting from the requirements for vehicle propulsion, to present the different options in terms of vehicle energy converters, that have the potential for near-zero pollutant emissions and defossilization. The course deals with powertrains for vehicles. The expectations are that in a sustainable society, transportation powertrains will be a mix between battery electric, fuel cell, combustion engines, and hybrids. The combustion engines would then be powered by renewable fuels produced using sustainable sources. The main features of the different energy converters are given, with their pros and cons, followed by a detailed discussion for each option. Challenges to the combustion engine fueled by fossil fuels are discussed. The different configurations for hybrid powertrains and criteria for choosing the optimum configurations are presented. Plug-in hybrids and range-extended hybrids are discussed. The main features for hydrogen fuel cells and battery electric drive are stated, including advantages and challenges, as well as expected future trends for the different transportation modes.

Course Description
The course provides students with understanding and knowledge of the mechanisms of heat transfer and the methods, analytical and empirical, being used to analyze and predict heat transfer and temperature distributions. Students are also trained to apply the theory on engineering problems. The course covers heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, condensation, evaporation/boiling, and heat exchangers. The heat conduction part includes general theory, fins as well as transient heating and cooling processes. Convective heat transfer presents the governing equations, similarity laws, forced and free (natural) convection. Laminar as well as turbulent cases are considered for ducts and immersed bodies. The chapter on thermal radiation includes general theory of radiation, black and non-black bodies, grey bodies, view factors, radiative heat exchange between non-black surfaces and gas radiation (participating media). Basic theory of film condensation is presented and influence of various parameters on the condensation process is described. A brief description of dropwise condensation is included. Evaporation and boiling cover pool boiling, forced convective boiling, two-phase flow and heat transfer in ducts and tubes. Empirical correlations are presented. Various types of heat exchangers in engineering applications and their classifications are presented. Theory and methods for design (sizing) and performance evaluation as well as analysis of heat transfer equipment are provided.

This course focuses on design techniques for controllers and compensators. Continuous compensators are studied in detail and used as a basis for the design of discrete equivalents using the method of emulation. The course also introduces direct design techniques for the design of digital compensators and stability analysis for both continuous and discrete systems. Topics include real time computer implementation of discrete controllers, PID controllers, and associated tuning techniques. Design assignments are completed and simulated using Matlab and Simulink.
