About the course
Energy in Sweden. Different sources of energy: Spontaneous and controllable, exhaustible and renewable. Availability of energy sources, their global energy and exploitation limits. Physical and technical principles as well as environmental aspects of energy conversion facilities such as wind power plants, hydropower plants, solar power plants, nuclear power plants and facilities and engines powered by fossil fuels.
Fluid dynamics: Bernoulli's equation, Betz's law. Solid state physics: electronic structure of solids, basic semiconductor technology. Nuclear physics: different nuclear models, radioactive decay, fission, cross sections. Engineering thermodynamics: power cycles, Carnot cycle, steam cycles, gas cycles.
