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

• thermodynamics of the engine process
• physical and chemical basics of combustion and pollutant formation
• electrochemical processes of a fuel cell

You will have an overview of the available simulation methods.

A fundamental overview of process Analysis is provided. The Content of the lecture is the following:

1. Introduction
2. Thermodynamic basics
3. Fluid properties, fuels
4. Species conversion (combustion, catalysis)
5. Pollutant formation
6. Species transport, gas exchange
7. Charging
8. Examples

• Lecture
• Demonstration of examples
• Group work

Due to the pandemic, the format for holding the lecture may vary.

Please note that the content of the lecture has been expanded to include fuel cells.

Written test with questions addressing the students' understanding and analytical examples

Script (in German!) for registered students on TISS available.
