Course description
1. While confirming the basis of thermodynamics, take up the energy use of sunlight and biomass as its application. We will discuss technical issues concerning natural energy utilization and issues for system construction. 2. Express the process related to biomass production and preparation as a mathematical model and understand its analysis and system control.
This subject is offered as a specialized subject in the Department of Agriculture, and is a required compulsory subject for completing the Food and Agriculture Information Engineering Program.
Expected Learning
1-1. Being able to understand the nature and characteristics of solar heat
1-2. Ability to understand biomass energy conversion technology and utilization system
2. Being able to mathematically describe the processes involved in production and environmental control

Prerequisites
In this course, 90 hours of study is a standard course for 2 credits. Assuming that one piece (90 minutes) is learning for 2 hours, 15 lessons are converted as learning for 30 hours. 60 hours of preparation and review are required to meet the standard learning time.
Required Text(s) and Materials
Slides and handouts will be prepared.

Assessment/Grading
Efforts in class (Participation in the discussion, Addressing short report, etc.) 50%, Report and exam 50%
Evaluation is carried out from the following two viewpoints. 1. Understanding the technical and system-building issues related to the use of renewable energy. 2. Understanding the representation and control of the process of biomass production and preparation in mathematical models.
