Experimental Methods for Engineers

4 KP

2V + 2U

D. J. Norris, F. Coletti, M. Lukatskaya, A. Manera, A. Shapiro, O. Supponen, M. Tibbitt

Kurzbeschreibung

The course presents an overview of measurement tasks in engineering environments. Different concepts for the acquisition and processing of typical measurement quantities are introduced. Following an initial in-class introduction, laboratory exercises from different application areas (especially in thermofluidics, energy, and process engineering) are attended by students in small groups.

Lernziel

Introduction to various aspects of measurement techniques, with particular emphasis on thermo-fluidic, energy, and process-engineering applications.

Understanding of various sensing technologies and analysis procedures.

Exposure to typical experiments, diagnostics hardware, data acquisition, and processing.

Study of applications in the laboratory. Fundamentals of scientific documentation and reporting.

Inhalt

In-class introduction to representative measurement techniques in the research areas of the participating institutes (fluid dynamics, energy technology, and process engineering).

Student participation in ~6 laboratory experiments (study groups of ~3 students, dependent on the number of course participants and available experiments).

Lab reports for all attended experiments have to be submitted by the study groups.

Skript

Presentations, handouts, and instructions are provided for each experiment.

Chemistry

4 KP

2V + 2U

D. J. Norris

Kurzbeschreibung

This is a general chemistry course aimed at first-year bachelor students in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering.

Lernziel

The aims of the course are:
1) To provide a thorough understanding of the basic principles of chemistry and its application,
2) To develop an understanding of the atomic and molecular nature of matter and of the chemical reactions that describe its transformations, and
3) To emphasize areas considered most relevant in an engineering context.

Inhalt

Electronic structure of atoms, chemical bonding, molecular geometry and bonding theories, intermolecular forces, gases, thermodynamics, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, equilibria, liquids and solutions, acids and bases, redox- and electrochemistry.

Skript

The instructor's lecture notes will be available prior to every lecture and can be downloaded from Moodle.

Literatur

The course is based on "Chemistry: The Central Science" by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy, Woodward, and Stoltzfus. Pearson, 15th Edition in SI units (global edition).
