After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• recognize and abstract of the physical processes essential for thermal engineering processes.
• mathematically describe and solve of thermal engineering processes.
• apply the three methods (simulation, analysis and optimization) presented in the lecture.

Thermal engineering processes are often very extensive so that they can not be described in a mathematical way. The aim of the lecture is that the students are able to solve and to extract various problems of thermotechnical processes and their physical behaviour. Also a part of the lecture is to describe methods to solve mathematical relations.

The aim of the course is to teach methods for abstraction of the physical processes essential for thermal processes into mathematical relationships and their solution. Three essential methods such as simulation (0,1,2,3D and bond graphs), analysis (pinch analysis) and optimization (operation planning) are presented.

The proof of performance of the LVA takes the form of a written examination and an interview.
