SEMINAR ABSTRACT
The Solar industry faces many technological challenges. In the center stage of making Solar Energy achieve its promise is the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Flow Dynamics (CFD) Simulations. Come and see the applications of FEA and CFD to the Solar Industry that involve thermal, structural, thermal-stress, solder joint reliability, electrical, and fluid structure interactions. This is an applications oriented class.
Dr. Metin Ozen is a leader in use of Finite Element Analysis for the engineering simulation for the Solar Industry. Dr. Ozen will provide interesting and cutting edge examples of FEA and CFD analysis and its application to Solar Simulation. Rich with software demonstrations, Dr. Ozen will show how mechanical engineering is becoming an indispensible tool to support the Solar Industry.
