AET 240 - Biofuels

Min Credits: 4

In this course the student will learn different sources of biomass and the relative energy potential of these fuel sources. The student will learn the processes that are required to convert biomass to fuels such as biodiesel, ethanol, and others. The course also will look at energy potential from directly burning biomass as an energy source such as wood and grains. The determination of energy per mass will be covered to use for comparison of different materials. This material will be covered through both lecture and lab segments.
