ENGS ENGS 174 Energy Conversion
This course will address the science and technology of converting key primary energy sources—fossil fuels, biomass, solar radiation, wind, and nuclear fission and fusion—into fuels, electricity, and usable heat. Each of these topics will be analyzed in a common framework including underlying fundamentals, constraints on cost and performance, opportunities and obstacles for improvement, and potential scale.
