This course can fulfill a technical elective requirement in either theAerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering curriculum. The primary course goal is toprovide students with a hardware-oriented, open-ended, hands-on research projectexperience. Each fall

Knowledge Base Related to Design Project.The student groups are given broad discretion in the design of their recuperator. Based on theassignment specification sheet shown in Figure 1, they have the discretion to choose the besttubing combination from those available. It is not intuitively obvious which combination willyield the best results. The student teams therefore have to formulate a theoretical model that willpredict recuperator performance in terms of the three possible tube combinations.

Many studentsused the experiments in explaining how a mass-transfer operation worked. A small group ofstudents may take some of the units to a local elementary school to demonstrate separationmethods.
