Thermofluiddynamics

The lecture Thermofluiddynamics teaches basic mechanisms of heat transfer and fluid mechanics in the context of technical applications. The most important conservation laws from the field of fluid mechanics and heat transfer are taught in this basic course. The students are given various calculation methods to solve simple technical problems in these two subject areas. Whether heat pumps, fuel cells, wind power plants or gas turbines - the design of modern energy conversion systems as they will be needed in the future is based on a coupled consideration of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The lecture is also intended as a basis for in-depth study in different specialist areas of energy conversion.
