For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This course will explore how Americans have confronted energy challenges since the end of World War II. Beginning in the 1970s, Americans worried about the supply of energy. As American production of oil declined, would the US be able to secure enough fuel to sustain their high consumption lifestyles? At the same time, Americans also began to fear the environmental side affects of energy use. Even if the US had enough fossil fuel, would its consumption be detrimental to health and safety? This class examines how Americans thought about these questions in the last half-century. We will consider the political, diplomatic, economic, cultural, and technological aspects of the energy crisis. Topics include nuclear power, suburbanization and the new car culture, the environmental movement and the challenges of clean energy, the Middle East and supply of oil, the energy crisis of the 1970s, and global warming. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/history/21h-207-the-energy-crisis-past-and-present-fall-2010 Fall 2010 Jacobs, Meg 2011-06-03T17:10:32+05:00 21H.207 en-US energy USA oil embargo Gulf War Richard Nixon Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter George Bush nuclear power wind power fossil fuel automobiles suburbia Iran Hostage Crisis climate change global warming oil drilling Kyoto Protocol solar power OPEC EPA Earth Day environmentalism atomic bomb Gerald Ford Levittown Manhattan Project MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Traditionally, progress in electronics has been driven by miniaturization. But as electronic devices approach the molecular scale, classical models for device behavior must be abandoned. To prepare for the next generation of electronic devices, this class teaches the theory of current, voltage and resistance from atoms up. To describe electrons at the nanoscale, we will begin with an introduction to the principles of quantum mechanics, including quantization, the wave-particle duality, wavefunctions and Schrödinger's equation. Then we will consider the electronic properties of molecules, carbon nanotubes and crystals, including energy band formation and the origin of metals, insulators and semiconductors. Electron conduction will be taught beginning with ballistic transport and concluding with a derivation of Ohm's law. We will then compare ballistic to bulk MOSFETs. The class will conclude with a discussion of possible fundamental limits to computation. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-701-introduction-to-nanoelectronics-spring-2010 Spring 2010 Baldo, Marc 2010-10-28T13:54:35+05:00 6.701 6.719 en-US nanoelectronics quantum mechanics wave-particle duality Schrodinger's equation electronic properties of molecules energy band formation electron conduction ballistic transport Ohm's law fundamental limits to computation MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Problems in nuclear engineering often involve applying knowledge from many disciplines simultaneously in achieving satisfactory solutions. The course will focus on understanding the complete nuclear reactor system including the balance of plant, support systems and resulting interdependencies affecting the overall safety of the plant and regulatory oversight. Both the Seabrook and Pilgrim nuclear plant simulators will be used as part of the educational experience to provide as realistic as possible understanding of nuclear power systems short of being at the reactor. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/nuclear-engineering/22-091-nuclear-reactor-safety-spring-2008 Spring 2008 Kadak, Andrew 2010-07-12T19:38:11+05:00 22.091 22.903 en-US nuclear reactor safety dryout heat flux preexisting hydrogen blowdown gases downward propagation limit debris dispersal direct containment heating gas blowthrough seal table room subcompartment structures compartmentalized geometries overlying liquid layer preexisting atmosphere blowdown time melt generator detonation adiabatic thermohydraulic codes hydrodynamic fragmentation vent clearing combustion completeness containment pressurization melt retention containment loads melt ejection containment geometry hole ablation Sandia National Laboratories Heat Transfer Conf Nuclear Regulatory Commission Report Heat Mass Transfer The Combustion Institute Combustion Symposium International New York Santa Barbara Argonne National Laboratory Fluid Mech Zion Probabilistic Safety Study Los Angeles Impact of Hydrogen Topical Meeting Water Reactor Safety Water Trans Academic Press All American Society of Mechanical Engineers Specialists Meeting University of California Brookhaven National Laboratory Calvert Cliffs Fourth Int International Conference New Trends.

For further information see https://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Water supply is a problem of worldwide concern: more than 1 billion people do not have reliable access to clean drinking water. Water is a particular problem for the developing world, but scarcity also impacts industrial societies. Water purification and desalination technology can be used to convert brackish ground water or seawater into drinking water. The challenge is to do so sustainably, with minimum cost and energy consumption, and with appropriately accessible technologies. This subject will survey the state-of-the-art in water purification by desalination and filtration. Fundamental thermodynamic and transport processes which govern the creation of fresh water from seawater and brackish ground water will be developed. The technologies of existing desalination systems will be discussed, and factors which limit the performance or the affordability of these systems will be highlighted. Energy efficiency will be a focus. Nanofiltration and emerging technologies for desalination will be considered. A student project in desalination will involve designing a well-water purification system for a village in Haiti. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-500-desalination-and-water-purification-spring-2009 Spring 2009 Lienhard, John Balaban, Miriam 2009-12-29T20:50:35+05:00 2.500 en-US reverse osmosis seawater electrodialysis student work distillation flash evaporation power generation wastewater treatment particulate removal system engineering cogeneration solar still chlorination Haiti MIT OpenCourseWare https://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
