(CU-SBY)

Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: differential equations, inorganic chemistry, environmental fluid dynamics at the undergraduate level.

G. Gadikota.

This course will discuss the scientific basis for advancing sustainable energy systems including clean fossil and renewable energy resources. Specifically, the course will draw on the fundamentals of thermodynamics, chemical kinetics and transport behavior of fluids at solid interfaces. Students will evaluate the impacts of existing and emerging energy technologies on the environment. In a given week, we will discuss the energy resource of interest and the underlying scientific principles.
