Thermodynamics is an important basic science for many areas of mechanical engineering. It describes the transport and conversion of different forms of energy and the associated material properties.

In terms of teaching , we convey these basics against the background of technical applications in the fields of energy and power plant engineering, environmental technology, process engineering, heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration technology, aerospace engineering, combustion technology and production engineering. In addition, we teach the basics of heat and mass transfer and offer further in-depth courses in this area.

In research , we focus on basic and applied investigations on energy conversion and heat and mass transfer processes. For the scientific analysis theoretical models, numerical simulation, and experimental methods are developed and applied. The research topics and projects are assigned to three working groups:

(1) Interfacial Transport and Complex Wetting,

(2) Boiling and Evaporation,

(3) Thermal System Analysis.
