This course covers the basic principles of how global energy is currently supplied, by primary source. The aim is to provide an energy literacy that can inform research, technology development, and effective policy in this area. The course content will be roughly divided according to the current global energy mix (i.e., 31% oil, 27% coal, 25% gas, 6.9% hydro, 4.3% nuclear, 2.5% wind, 1.4% solar, and 1.8% geothermal/biomass/biofuels). In each case background reading and critical analyses will be applied to: a) the characteristics of the resource; b) the infrastructure for extraction/development of the resource; c) the usage of the resulting energy; and d) the implications of usage. Assignments and exams will assess both background knowledge and the ability to apply fluid flow, thermodynamic, and heat transfer analyses to energy supply systems.
