Global energy flows, sources and uses of energy are studied. Biological energy and ecosystems are introduced from the viewpoint of the engineering technologist. Energy-related environment problems including air and thermal pollution plus radioactivity are treated.

MET 4480-3 Air Conditioning/Refrigeration (3 + 0) Prerequisite: MET 3120
Refrigeration cycles are studied. Operation and rating of system components are evaluated with heat flow in condensers, evaporators and cooling towers treated. The control of temperature and humidity, along with air-handling equipment and ducting, are studied.
