Description: Building a sustainable modern society requires the development of energy systems that efficiently utilize our natural resources. This course will teach students to apply the core fundamentals of chemical engineering (thermodynamics, reaction chemistry and kinetics, and transport phenomena) in the analysis of both conventional and renewable energy systems. The course will focus on the following topics: (1) the thermodynamic efficiency limits of energy systems, (2) sources of energy in our surroundings (conventional and renewable fuels, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, etc.), (3) energy storage (batteries, capacitors, thermophysical, mechanical, etc.) and (4) energy utilization (engines, power cycles, fuel cells, etc.). Cross-list: CHBE 521. Recommended Prerequisite(s): CHBE 411
