Le cours fournira les principes fondamentaux et les détails technologiques des dispositifs et systèmes de conversion de l'énergie solaire, y compris 1) les combustibles solaires par photoélectrochimie, photocatalyse et thermochimie, 2) l'électricité solaire par PV et CSP, et 3) la chaleure solaire.

Thermodynamics and energetics I

ME-251

Introduction aux principes de la thermodynamique, propriétés thermodynamiques de la matière et à leur calcul. Les étudiants maîtriseront les concepts de conservation (chaleur, masse, quantité de mouvement) et appliqueront ces concepts au cycles thermodynamiques et systèmes de conversion d'énergie.
