The module provides advanced knowledge of the mechanisms of heat transfer, especially for the technically relevant processes involving phase change.
After successful completion of this module, students will be able to
- identify different forms of boiling and condensation and describe their forms of appearance,
- explain the mechanism of bubble formation during boiling or drop formation during condensation,
- apply calculation equations and explain significant influencing parameters in them,
- describe processes involved in the phase change of mixtures.
Content
- Fundamentals of phase transitions
