Description
Gas-Liquid Mixtures (Gas-Flüssigkeitsgemische) are of paramount importance for energy and process-technology, consider e.g. fuel sprays in Diesel engines or gas turbines, boiling of water in the steam generator of a power plant, or the distribution of air bubbles in aerated stirred reactors or bubble columns.
A selection of physically interesting as well as technically relevant phenomena are discussed in this course. While technical applications are introduced frequently in an exemplary manner, the underlying physical laws, i.e. the conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy, form the main subject. It will be demonstrated that diverse phenomena can be explained and described quantitatively in this unified framework, which represents the core of Thermo-Fluiddynamics. Special emphasis is placed on instabilities and heat addition in two-phase flows.
Example problems will be solved and discussed in the tutorials (Übungen) in order to deepen the understanding of the phenomena presented in the lecture and to hone problem-solving skills.
Students who want to earn 5 ECTS (Vertiefungsfach) must prepare and present a short talk (15 min). The individual topics will be defined after consultation with the lecturer, and must o course have a relation to multi-phase flows. Speakers will get support on how to prepare and present a talk, including a general introduction to presentation methods and style by the Center of Key Competencies (ZSK), as well as the opportunity to rehearse their presentation at the ZSK and receive feedback.
