ME-251: Thermodynamics and energetics IThe course introduces the basic concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer, and thermodynamic properties of matter and their calculation. The students will master the concepts of heat, mass, and mom
HUM-226: Wellbeing and Planetary BoundariesL'objectif de ce cours est de donner une compréhension globale des enjeux de la durabilité et de ses implications. Que signifie "durabilité" ? Comment est-elle mesurée ? Comment l'atteindre ?
PHYS-424: Plasma IIThis course completes the knowledge in plasma physics that students have acquired in the previous two courses, with a discussion of different applications, in the fields of magnetic confinement and co
ENV-421: Sustainability, climate and energyThe course provides students with a comprehensive scientific understanding of the links between climate and energy systems in the context of sustainability. It will cover topics related to natural and
ME-469: Nano-scale heat transferIn this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their
ENV-525: Physics and hydrology of snowThis course covers principles of snow physics, snow hydrology, snow-atmosphere interaction, and snow modeling. It transmits detailed understanding of physical processes within the snow and at its inte
PHYS-100: Advanced physics I (mechanics)La Physique Générale I (avancée) couvre la mécanique du point et du solide indéformable. Apprendre la mécanique, c'est apprendre à mettre sous forme mathématique un phénomène physique, en modélisant l
ME-459: Heat pump systemsThis course aims to study heat pumping cycles and technologies, and equipment, such as compressors (positive displacement and dynamic), heat exchangers, and expansion valves.
