This course looks in depth at those areas of thermodynamics that describe the conversion of forms of energy such as heat, work, chemical energy and radiant energy.

The focus is on the energetic states of fluids (air, water, water vapor and humid air), the classic cycle processes for energy conversion with phase transition (heat pump, steam power processes, combined cycle), combined heat and power (CHP), but also conversions from and to chemically bound energy (combustion, production and use of hydrogen) and other future-oriented processes such as photocatalysis.

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Written examination or
• oral exam

• Field work / Experimental work

The examiners choose the type of examination from the options provided and inform the students at the beginning of the semester.

- Written examination: see the applicable study regulations
- Oral examination: see the applicable General Part of the Examination Regulations (ATPO)

- Experimental work: approx. 2 - 3 experiments

Mathematics, Chemistry, Thermodynamics

Students at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences who have successfully completed this module are familiar with the thermodynamic laws and calculation methods of the technologies relevant to energy, environmental and process engineering that are used to convert the form of energy.

Students know suitable data sources and calculation methods to calculate the thermodynamic variables for energy conversions. This applies in particular to processes with phase transition and chemical conversion. They can thermodynamically evaluate processes for converting the form of energy and are familiar with typical technical conversions such as power plants or the electrolytic production of hydrogen.

Students can discuss the limits of energy supply.
