Fundamentals of Energy Processes

3 credits

This course will introduce the following eight renewable energy sources: 1. Solar energy; 2. Wind energy; 3. Geothermal energy; 4. Hydroelectric energy; 5. Hydrogen energy; 6. Biomass energy (biofuels); 7. Nuclear energy; and 8. Ocean energy (wave and tidal). This course will describe the underlying principles and current techniques to design these energy generation systems. It will provide fundamental concepts and design knowledge involved in the energy generation, transportation and storage processes. ***Prerequisite: ENGG 140, ENGG 141, ENIN 253, and ENER 203.***
