CHEG 653 Sustainable Energy Conversion Processes
The objective of this course is to understand Fischer-Tropsch chemistry and reaction engineering, as well as gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology and its applications in the area of energy systems engineering. Fuel cell technology and systems will be examined critically and analytically. Utilization and chemical engineering aspects of energy production from nonconventional hydrocarbons energy sources, such as coal, oil shale, oil sands, and synthetic gas and liquid fuel will be discussed. The course will also cover topics including chemistry and engineering aspects of improved/enhanced oil recovery, and applications of chemical engineering fundamentals in solar energy resources and technology.
