Advanced Energy Conversion Systems Design

This is an interdisciplinary course that will be team-taught by experts in this topic, including: Mr Kirk Sorensen (NASA Marshall), Dr Thomas Blue (Ohio State University), Dr Albert Juhasz (NASA Glenn), Dr Joseph Bonometti (NASA Marshall /Navy Post Graduate School), Mr Dhanireddy Reddy (NASA Glenn), Dr Charles Alexander (CSU), Dr Mounir Ibrahim (CSU), and Dr Eugenio Villaseca (CSU)

The course content will center on a complete energy conversion system for the

21st Century, including thorium-base molten-salt nuclear reactors, Brayton cycle gas turbines, synchronous AC generators, rectifiers and inverters, DC transmission

Students will design subsystem components using the systems approach to

engineering, to be presented in the course

Prerequisite for the course is graduate standing

Times: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:00 – 2:50 PM, Room: TBD
