MODELING AND DESIGN OF ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEMS FOR ENERGY STORAGE AND SENSING
Fundamental principles and mathematical models of electrochemical energy conversion, energy storage, manufacturing, and sensing, with an emphasis on understanding how and why ions and electrons move. Topics include equivalent circuits, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, transport phenomena, electrostatics, porous media, and phase transformations. Knowledge of multivariable calculus [such as MATH 234 ] and ordinary differential equations [such as MATH 319 ] is required. Knowledge of thermodynamics [such as M E 561 ], heat transfer [such as M E 564 ], and/or fluid mechanics [such as M E 363 or CBE 320 ] are strongly encouraged.
