Course description and aims
In this course, you will learn about waste/biomass-to-energy technology. At first, you will learn thermal efficiency based on basic thermodynamics. You will also learn basic technologies of exhaust gas and wastewater treatments. After that, you will practice simulations of urban metabolisms including water supply, wastewater treatment, and waste management. It will be helpful for you to understand the advantages and disadvantages of waste/biomass-to-energy technology.
Student learning outcomes
[ Target] Students will understand the advantages and disadvantages of waste/biomass-to-energy technology.
[ Theme ]In this course, you will learn thermal efficiency based on basic thermodynamics, the basic technologies of exhaust gas and wastewater treatments. By simulations of urban metabolisms including water supply, wastewater treatment, and waste management, you will understand the advantages and disadvantages of waste/biomass-to-energy technology.
Keywords
