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).
75 class hours (= 56.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 93.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
UI-T-KTE Concepts of Thermal Energy Systems
UI-T-TWF Introduction to Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Fluid Technology

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will: be familiar with kinematic quantities and their interrelationships. They will be able to set up equations of motion for different movements, with respect to different reference systems and determine solutions. Students will have learned to break down complex movements into partial movements by applying superposition.
- They will understand force and momentum as physical quantities and use these quantities to determine the cause, state and effect of a movement. They will be familiar with models that describe friction between bodies and of bodies in liquids and gases and be able to apply them.
- Students will be familiar with torque and angular momentum and be able to use these for the dynamics of rotary motion. They will be familiar with the analogies and differences between translation and rotation and be able to reproduce them. They will understand how the principles of the center of mass can be transferred to rigid bodies.
- Students will have mastered the definitions of work, power and energy and know the different units for these quantities. They will be familiar with the concept of conservative force and how it is used in the definition of potential energy.
- Students will be able to explain gravitational force as an elementary interaction and draw conclusions from its properties, such as Kepler´s laws.
- Students will understand the methods of conservation of momentum, conservation of angular momentum and conservation of energy and be able to apply them to examples such as multidimensional impact.
- Students will be familiar with the causes of gravitational pressure and buoyancy in liquids and gases and be able to explain their consequences. They will know what types of flows can be categorized and how they are recorded. They will be able to describe and determine flows without turbulence using equations.
- Students will be familiar with temperature and heat quantity as fundamental variables. They will be able to explain the principles and consequences of the kinetic theory of gases. They will be able to explain the main laws of thermodynamics and know and explain their applications.
- Students will have gained insights into and know where physical laws and methods are applied in everyday life, in technology and especially in the field of sensors.
