This unit is introduced in an integrative framework of energy, with a particular focus on renewable and clean energy. It provides a thorough treatment of the thermodynamic properties of pure substances, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, as well as power plants and chillers. It also thoroughly handles the fundamentals of electric circuits and the corresponding techniques of analysis, capacitors and inductors, sinusoidal steady state analysis, AC power, magnetism, principles of electromechanic energy conversion, wind power systems, photovoltaic cells and photovoltaic systems.<br/><br/>Students also work in small groups on an integrated project involving thermal and electrical... -- Course Website
