MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree

Jedes Modul umfasst 3 ECTS. Sie wählen insgesamt 10 Module/30 ECTS in den folgenden Modulkategorien:

12-15 ECTS in Technisch-wissenschaftlichen Modulen (TSM)
TSM-Module vermitteln Ihnen profilspezifische Fachkompetenz und ergänzen die dezentralen Vertiefungsmodule.
9-12 ECTS in Erweiterten theoretischen Grundlagen (FTP)
FTP-Module behandeln theoretische Grundlagen wie die höhere Mathematik, Physik, Informationstheorie, Chemie usw. Sie erweitern Ihre abstrakte, wissenschaftliche Tiefe und tragen dazu bei, den für die Innovation wichtigen Bogen zwischen Abstraktion und Anwendung spannen zu können.
6-9 ECTS in Kontextmodulen (CM)
CM-Module vermitteln Ihnen Zusatzkompetenzen aus Bereichen wie Technologiemanagement, Betriebswirtschaft, Kommunikation, Projektmanagement, Patentrecht, Vertragsrecht usw.

Thermal Hydraulic Methods for Energy Systems in Buildings (TSM_HydMeth)

The course imparts knowledge on practical design methods for thermal systems such as heating and cooling circuits, solar thermal systems and district networks. Special emphasis is placed on the conditions for safe operation. The design and integration of storage tanks and heat pumps into thermal networks is also covered. Furthermore, building physical aspects and practical rules regarding pipe routing, building integration, and maintenance are discussed as well.

Eintrittskompetenzen

Basic knowledge of thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics.

Lernziele

Practical design problems are best solved in a holistic approach. It is therefore advantageous to solve thermodynamic and hydraulic dimensioning problems in conjunction. This approach is expressed by the term “thermal-hydraulics”.

The students will learn how to solve thermal hydraulic engineering problems in the fields of building technology, solar thermal energy and thermal network design.

The aim of these methods is to enable the design of energetically and economically efficient as well as maintenance friendly technical components and systems, and, to prove their functionality by way of simulation.

Modulinhalt

A short introduction into thermodynamics, fluid mechanics as well as mass and heat transfer will be given, tailored to the needs of this course. The theory of two-phase flow is taught to the degree necessary to deal with the ventability of pipe networks and the stagnation safety of solar thermal plants.

Dedicated code snippets and open source simulation tools allow the students to apply the methods to real cases.

Lehr- und Lernmethoden

The content is taught in frontal lessons.
Numerous examples are motivated and illustrated by story-telling.

Homework exercises are solved using the provided VBA codes running under Excel.
