This self-study course is designed to be taken at your
convenience, and on your own schedule. You have
90
days to finish the course once you begin.
Nanocoatings and additives can enhance the thermal performance
of engineering devices for heating, cooling and thermal storage
applications. Such enhancements arise from the better
thermo-physical properties of the coatings materials as well as the
modification of the surface properties. The applications of these
materials and techniques range from HVAC (heating, ventilation and
air conditioning) to chemical process industries as well as
renewable energy technologies (such as solar thermal energy and
concentrated solar power). This course will give you insight into
exactly how these nanocoatings enhance engineering
applications.
You will learn:
- Fundamentals of nanotechnologies
- Applications of nanocoatings for thermal engineering
- The role of computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer
- Molecular modeling and dynamics
Who should attend:
Engineers and managers who wish to learn more about
nanotechnology and nanocoatings.
Course Developer:
Debjyoti Banerjee received his Ph.D. in 1999 from the University
of California, Los Angeles. He received three patents (with an
additional four patents pending) from his work at Applied
Biosystems, NanoInk, Ciphergen Biosystems, Coventor and Tata
(India). He joined the Mechanical Engineering Department at Texas
AM University in 2005. His sponsored research projects (with
academic and industrial collaborators) has exceed $17 million. Dr.
Banerjee's research interests are in thermal-fluids sciences with
emphasis on multiphase flows, MEMS, micro/nanofluidics,
bio-nanotechnology and renewable energy, especially solar thermal
energy storage.
