Study of fluid flow, thermodynamics, combustion, heat transfer and friction phenomena, and fuel properties, relevant to engine power, efficiency, and emissions. Examination of design features and operating characteristics of different types of internal combustion engines: spark-ignition, diesel, stratified-charge, and mixed-cycle engines. Engine Laboratory project. For graduate and senior undergraduate students.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mechanical-Engineering/2-61Spring-2008/CourseHome/index.htmCheng, Wai2009-08-17T04:53:24-04:002.61en-USMechanical EngineeringSmall Engine Mechanics and Repair Technology/Technicianfull lecture notesmixed-cycle enginestratified-chargedieselspark-ignitionemissionsefficiencypowerfuel propertiesfluid flow,thermodynamics,combustion,heat transfer and friction phenomenaenvironmental impactengine fuel requirementsengine operationinternal combustion enginesMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmIn this course students will learn how solar cells convert light into electricity, how solar cells are manufactured, how solar cells are evaluated, what technologies are currently on the market, and how to evaluate the risk and potential of existing and emerging solar cell technologies. We examine the potential & drawbacks of currently manufactured technologies (single- and multi-crystalline silicon, micromorph tandem cells, CdTe, CIGS, CPV, PVT), as well as pre-commercial technologies (organics, biomimetic, organic/inorganic hybrid, and nanostructure-based solar cells). Hands-on laboratory sessions explore how a solar cell works in practice. We scrutinize what limits solar cell performance and cost, and the major hurdles — technological, economic, and political — towards widespread substitution of fossil fuels. Students will apply this knowledge towards developing and critiquing a solar energy technology prospectus. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mechanical-Engineering/2-626Fall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmBuonassisi, Anthony2009-07-16T05:07:32-04:002.626en-USMechanical EngineeringPhysics, Generalglobal energy supplyquantum dotsmanufacturingalternative energyself-organized systemsnanostructuresdoped polymersemiconductor engineeringcommercializationstudent workthin filmsMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course teaches the design of contemporary information systems for biological and medical data. Examples are chosen from biology and medicine to illustrate complete life cycle information systems, beginning with data acquisition, following to data storage and finally to retrieval and analysis. Design of appropriate databases, client-server strategies, data interchange protocols, and computational modeling architectures. Students are expected to have some familiarity with scientific application software and a basic understanding of at least one contemporary programming language (e.g. C, C++, Java, Lisp, Perl, Python). A major term project is required of all students. This subject is open to motivated seniors having a strong interest in biomedical engineering and information system design with the ability to carry out a significant independent project.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Biological-Engineering/20-453JFall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmDewey, CYu, HanryBhowmick, Sourav2009-06-24T10:38:44-04:0020.453JHST.958J2.771Jen-USBiological EngineeringBiochemistry/Biophysics and Molecular Biologygene sequencingpharmaceuticaldrug targetdrug discoverydrug developmentontologiesbiological datarelational databaseSQLXMLpathway modelingdiagnosisgel electrophoresismicroarrayclinical trialclinical decision supportcomputational biologybioinformaticsproteomicsgenomicsExperiBaseschemadatabaseBioHaystacksemantic webCellMLSBMLSPARQLOWLRDFDICOMmedical recordsmolecular biologymetadatamedical imagingimagingMechanical EngineeringHealth Sciences and TechnologyMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
