ENGM 470 - Energy Systems Engineering

Institution:

George Fox University

Subject:

Description:

Fundamental principles of energy engineering with applications to both fossil fuel combustion and alternative energy systems. The first half of the course is dedicated to a quantitative understanding of fossil fuel combustion and its applications. Stoichiometry, flame temperature, chemical kinetics and applications of both premixed and diffusion flames, as well as sources of emissions and emission control strategies are presented. The second half of the course is focused on alternative and renewable energy systems, from a technical, economic, and environmental perspective. Students will study the basic theory of fuel cells, wind turbines, photovoltaic devices, biomass and nuclear energy generation and determine component and system efficiencies. Additionally, students will become familiar with the relationship between ethical issues and the quality of our environment, and the complex interplay between engineering systems and society. This course builds on previous studies in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Additional course fee is required. Prerequisites: ENGM 312 Applications of Engineering Thermodynamics and ENGM 380 Heat Transfer.
