Abstract
This paper describes the final design project for the senior level Fluid and Thermal System Design course, which is a precursor to the Capstone Design Project at Oakland University. The Fluid and Thermal System Design course is geared to taking students through the entire taxonomy of the design process; from knowledge, comprehension and application, to analysis, synthesis and finally evaluation. The recuperator design is the final design project of the course, and involves all of the aforementioned steps of the design process. The project is carried out during the last five weeks of the semester, working in teams made up of three to four students, with one being the team leader. Results of the students’ design experiences will be presented in this paper.
I. Introduction
It has become increasingly obvious in recent years that graduating seniors from accredited institutions have been lacking in exposure to the totality of the design process. Although some aspects of the design process have been intensively covered piecewise in senior-level courses, there was a need to integrate all of the design steps together into a cohesive learning experience. This has prompted ABET to require institutions to offer, and for students to take, a capstone design course, which would expose students to the totality of the design process without the addition of new material in a lecture-style setting.
In the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at Oakland University, students are required to take a capstone design course in their senior year. In addition, however, the curriculum has required for many years that all mechanical engineering students take two senior level precursor design oriented courses, one associated with solid mechanics, the other with the fluid and thermal sciences. The mechanics parallel of the Fluid and Thermal System Design course is the Mechanical System Design course. Neither course introduces any new fundamental principles but are instead geared to the design process. Lectures are given, but mainly as a review, or, the application of fundamental principles such as the formulation of theoretical models for the purpose of obtaining design insight. The focus of both courses is design. The present paper details the final design project in the Group B required course entitled Fluid and Thermal System Design.

会议1566换热器的优化设计Gilbert L. Wedekind，克里斯托弗·J·科布斯（Christopher J. Kobus）奥克兰大学机械工程系，罗切斯特，密歇根州48309摘要本文介绍了高级流体与热力系统设计课程的最终设计项目，该课程是奥克兰大学Capstone设计项目的前身。流体和热力系统设计课程旨在指导学生完成设计过程的整个分类。从知识，理解和应用到分析，综合和最终评估。换热器设计是该课程的最终设计项目，涉及设计过程的所有上述步骤。该项目在学期的最后五个星期内进行，由三至四名学生组成的小组工作，其中一名是小组负责人。学生的设计经验结果将在本文中介绍。一，导言近年来，越来越多的认可机构的应届毕业生缺乏对整个设计过程的了解。尽管在高级课程中已经对设计过程的某些方面进行了详细的分部介绍，但仍需要将所有设计步骤集成到一个有凝聚力的学习经验中。这促使ABET要求机构提供并让学生参加一个顶峰设计课程，该课程将使学生了解整个设计过程，而无需在演讲风格设置中添加新材料。在奥克兰大学的机械工程课程中，要求学生在高三期间参加一次顶峰设计课程。但是，此外，该课程多年来一直要求所有机械工程专业的学生都参加两门面向高级前驱设计的课程，一门与固体力学相关，另一门与流体科学和热科学相关。流体和热系统设计课程的机械学并行是机械系统设计课程。这两门课程都没有介绍任何新的基本原理，而是针对设计过程。给出了演讲，但是主要是作为回顾，或者是为了获得设计见解而应用基本原理（例如，理论模型的制定）。这两门课程的重点都是设计。本文详细介绍了B组必修课程“流体和热系统设计”中的最终设计项目。 2001年美国工程教育学会年会暨博览会论文集©2001年美国工程教育学会版权所有
