Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

MAB_19_A_3.04.SKS (P241-0285) Mechanical and Process Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2019 , semester 3, mandatory course
MAB_24_A_3.04.SKS Mechanical and Process Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2024 , semester 3, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
MAB_24_A_1.07.ENB Engineering Basics
MAB_24_A_2.04.MA2 Mathematics 2

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with the basics of fluid mechanical quantities and laws. They will be able to apply the laws of fluid mechanics to simple practical problems in hydrostatics and hydrodynamics.
Students will be able to describe well-known types of pistons and turbomachinery, including their basic structure, function, application possibilities and operating behavior.
