Having successfully completed the course, the student will have demonstrated the ability to:

• Develop mathematical models for exergy analyses to predict the energetic, exergetic, and exergoeconomic performance of an energy conversion system
• Program these mathematical models into a computer
• Use the programmed models to run parametric, what-if, and simulations studies for design purposes
• Post-process the results from these studies and present in professional tables and figures
• Interpret the significance of these results, particularly in terms of the underlying theory leading to these results and what they mean in terms of design, operation, and control
• Add-value to ones work by exploring a problem beyond the minimum requirements based on curiosity and engineering judgment
• Communicate the results both through formal written reports and oral presentations
