This course introduces the fundamentals of sustainable heating and cooling technologies regarding thermodynamics, technology, and regulations. In addition to teaching fundamental knowledge, this course focuses on process design. In case study sessions, students solve problems related to the process design of heating and cooling technologies.
Lernziel
At the end of this course, students will be able to: - select and use appropriate fluid property models, - choose a proper heating and cooling technology depending on the application, - develop mathematical models for the simulation of heat pump and cooling processes, - design and optimize heat pump and cooling processes, - design and select components and refrigerants, - apply the acquired numerical methods to the process design in other fields.
Lecture slides and supplementary documentation will be available online. Reference to appropriate book chapters and scientific papers will be provided.
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes
