An unfortunate aspect of engineering education in general, and turbomachinery education in specific, has been the difficulty of incorporating the design aspect of instruction with the time-consuming components that make up theoretical instruction. The primary reason for this difficulty is the extremely limited time (typically three months) allocated to teach turbomachinery as a senior-level quarter or semester technical elective. It is desirable to develop an educational design tool that can be simultaneously exercised by a student to perform various design tasks and function as a means of theoretical instruction. Such a tool can permit the students both greater depth and breadth of exposure and may be subsequently used by the students in their future capacity as professional engineers. In this paper, this tool is illustrated by several applications of a commercial “graphical spreadsheet” software package (MathCAD, though others such as Mathmatica and Macsyma are appropriate as well). Some graphical spreadsheet design tools are presented, and these tools are applied to the analysis and design of a radial pump, centrifugal compressor, and radial-inflow turbine.

This paper presents a method that guides designers in obtaining the desired number of earned points in the “Optimize Energy Performance” credit of the “Energy and Atmosphere” category of LEED version 4 (v4) certification at minimum cost. The model creates different scenarios, identifies the LEED points and costs for each scenario. The energy analysis calculations are performed by Sefaira, the quantities of materials are received from Autodesk Revit, and the cost information comes from the RSMeans Database. A macro in Excel automates the process. An office building was used as a case study to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method. The minimum cost necessary to achieve any number of points in the “Optimize Energy Performance” credit were calculated, such as a minimum cost of $842,500 to obtain 16 points, and $476,684 for 5 points. The primary contributions of this research include (1) the development of a tool that allows designers to pick the most economical alternative for the desired points in the “Optimize Energy Performance” credit, and (2) the first time integrated use of an energy simulation software (Sefaira), a cost database (RSMeans), and a BIM software (Autodesk Revit)
