Advanced Thermodynamics

equivalent to the German lecture “Thermodynamik II”

(2L+1T+1 Laboratory), Summer Semester, 4 ECTS-LP

Die Vorlesung wird zum Sommersemester 2024 angeboten


Hinweis

Diese Vorlesung findet nur in Englisch statt.

This module completes the basic foundation of technical thermodynamics by applying the laws of thermodynamics to a variety of energy conversion processes.

In the lab the students will gain practical experience in running energy conversion devices on a laboratory scale as well as social competence through teamwork.

After successful completion of this module the student will be able to

  • describe different pathways in energy conversion on transferring primary energy into technical useful energy.
  • They learn to design different types of energy conversion devices such as furnaces, fuel cells, gas turbines and Rankine cycles on a quantitative basis.
  • Also describing the environmental impact on behalf of CO2-emissions by burning fossil fuels is part of the learned methods.
  • Furthermore, they will assess different energy conversion capabilities using the exergy concept.

Content

  • Principles of energy conversion

  • Fuel cell technology
  • Steam cycles and power plant processes
  • The Stirling cycle
  • Flow and work processes
  • Exergy und Anergy
  • Heat pumps and refrigeration machines
