先進エネルギー工学

The climate change, especially global warming due to CO2 emission from the combustion of fossil fuels, has been a major concern in the last few decades. In order to mitigate the global warming, the reduction of energy consumption is essential in terms of energy saving and efficient utilization. In this lecture, the fundamental principle for energy production and utilization in energy science and engineering will be studied to understand the current energy technology. The advanced energy production and utilization technology to reduce energy consumption will be discussed based on the energy recycle and the exergy loss minimization.
