Cooperation network course
Network: FITech Energy studies for Master’s students
Available for: Doctoral studies, Master's students and Bachelor's and Master's students
This course is offered through the Network for Fitech Energy 2. These studies are available for master's and doctoral degree students studying in the Faculty of Mathematics and Science and the Faculty of Information Technology.
Description
Topics: 1) Exergy analysis; 2) Heat radiation 3) Solar energy (PV, thermal) 4) Separation process thermodynamics, 5) Irreversible thermodynamics 6) Energy Storage 7) Exercises.
Learning outcomes
The student will obtain knowledge and skills with more modern concepts of advanced thermodynamics, from a viewpoint of more sustainable energy technology and more energy efficient (chemical) process engineering, with minimal (or no) CO2 emissions.
The student shall obtain or further develop skills on several important modern concepts of energy technology and energy efficiency in (chemical) process engineering,
for example exergy analys, energy use of separation processes,energy storage, thermal radiation and solar energy.
