| 151-0254-00L | Environmental Aspects of Future Mobility | 4 KP | 2V + 1U | Y. Wright, P. Dimopoulos Eggenschwiler | ||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course describes and assesses the environmental performance of current and future mobility/transportation and transformation pathways towards sustainability. It focuses in particular on the future role of renewable synthetic chemical energy carriers from a technology point of view. | |||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The students understand the systemic nature of current and future mobili-ty/transportation systems and are able to elaborate solutions for the defossiliza-tion of the sector. At the end of the course they should be capable to assess alter-native technologies for the different subsectors for transport of people and freight including the “upstream” energy supply processes for different energy carriers. | |||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Mobility system structure, future demand trends for the various sectors (people, freight, off-road, marine, aviation) and appropriate energy carriers per application. Basic characteristics of the currently most promising energy carrier concepts: Li-Ion Batteries, Hydrogen and synthetic fuels. Methods for producing renewable en-ergy carriers (electrolysis, methanation/synthesis of higher hydrocarbons etc.) and related infrastructure requirements. For internal combustion engines (ICE), which will continue to be used in sectors difficult to electrify (marine, off-road, heavy-duty long-haul freight transport), dif-ferent combustion modes and their respective pollutant emission formation mechanisms are presented and in-cylinder emission minimization methods for conventional and renewable fuels are discussed. Exhaust gas aftertreatment for combustion engines and atmospheric immissions are finally presented in view of near-zero emission powertrain concepts. Basic environmental assessment of the introduced concepts. | |||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Due to the wide range of material covered, this course requires basics of thermo-dynamics/cycles, turbulent flows as well as combustion concepts (laminar and tur-bulent premixed and non-premixed flames). Ideally a combination of 151-0293-00L "Combustion and Reactive Processes in Energy and Materials Technology", where background on reactive processes is provided, and, 151-0251-00L "Princi-ples, efficiency optimization and future applications of IC engines", where thermo-dynamic cycles and combustion modes in internal combustion engines are dis-cussed. | |||||||||||||||||
