2193051 – Thermophysics of Advanced Materials
In this course experimental and theoretical methods for study of thermal energy storage materials will be discussed. The course provides a basic understanding for studying binary, ternary and multicomponent systems and determining their thermophysical properties. Main experimental methods like thermal gravimetry (TG), differencial thermal analysis (DTA), differencial scanning calorimetry (DSC), Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry (KEMS) and dilatometry (DIL) will be discussed in details. Furthermore, the participants will learn about different types of thermal energy storage and their application areas, as well as how to perform thermodynamic calculations for optimization and selection of storage materials using FactSage software. The double lectures will take place in presence (Building 10.50, Room 602) and online (Zoom-link for online lectures: https://kit-lecture.zoom.us/my/tam2021ds Access-code: 666555) on Friday from 14:00 to 17:15 as follows: 1) 25.10.2024: Presence 2) 08.11.2024: Online 3) 15.11.2024: Online 4) 22.11.2024: Online 5) 29.11.2024: Online 6) 06.12.2024: Online 7) 13.12.2024: Online 8) 20.12.2024: Online
