Course Objectives: | Recognize the terminology of the discipline -understand how the terminology of the discipline -understand how different processes in a biofuel-based energy system collaborate and affect each other -recognize subjects on basic energy science, biofuel production and its limitations, upgrading processes and combustion technology -Achieve a fundamental understanding of the following foundation subjects related to bioconversion: biology, chemistry, thermodynamics, plant science, crop production and environmental science as well as economics. --Grasp the key technologies required for bioconversion from biomass to bioenergy and related products. -Recognize the challenges of bioconversion for cost effective biofuel and be able to present strategies and solutions. -Understand the comprehensive system of bioconversion by evaluating the environmental and economical impacts of this energy shystem. -Develop the students’ ability to design applications in biorenewable recourses conversion field. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Use a systems approach to design renewable bioenergy systems. 2. Know the energy conversion processes for biomass systems 3. Evaulate the advantages and limitations of renewable bioenergy systems 4. recognize several types of renewable energy, global energy resources and technologies for sustainable energy production. 5. calculate effective efficiencies for different types of system solutions. 6. Assess a system by using nontechnical factors (environmental impacts, economics and sustainable development) 7. Identify which information is missing during design phase 8. Excel in a team-oriented design experience, focused on the application of renewable bioenergy technologies 9. Design a “real life” renewable bioenergy system. |
