ThermalEnergy

Learning Outcomes

Students will develop a practical understanding of solar thermal energy applications and heat transfer principles through hands-on experiments, including:

• Solar Thermal Energy Conversion – Study how different collector types absorb and convert sunlight into heat energy.
• Heat Transfer Principles – Explore conduction, convection, and radiation in thermal energy systems.
• CSP Technology – Investigate concentrated solar power (CSP) applications and efficiency.
• Thermoelectric Energy Conversion – Examine Peltier modules and direct heat-to-electricity transformation.
• Thermal Storage & Regulation – Analyze the role of heat exchangers and paraffin-based thermal storage.
• Fluid Dynamics in Thermal Systems – Understand the role of pumps and water circulation in solar thermal applications.
