Explores the two main approaches to fusion energy, covering conditions for energy generation, compression techniques, physics of Inertial Confinement Fusion, progress in research, and engineering constraints.
Explores the limitations of classical transport models in tokamak plasmas, the impact of turbulence on plasma confinement, and the empirical transport scaling for ITER design.
Explores the triumph of determinism in modern mechanics and the methodology of scientific development, with practical exercises on estimating surgical mask usage and analyzing atomic bomb energy.
Explores non-conventional manufacturing processes like grinding, electro-discharge machining, and waterjet cutting, including modelling and related processes.
