Lehrinhalte
First the technical and economic importance of electrothermal processes will be pointed out. In addition to that, advantages, characteristics and applications of electroheat processes will be shown by typical examples.
The second part of the lecture is about thermotechnical and electrotechnical basics, which are necessary to understand electrothermal processes.
The main part of the lecture deals with examples of electrothermal processes, like induction heating (focus), conductive and dielectric heating as well as indirect resistance heating. Examples from industry are shown, and it will be explained how the applications are designed with numerical simulation tools (FEM-based) and analytical methods (calculation of electromagnetic fields).
At the end of the lecture special processes like laser applications will be shown.


Orgainsatorial content is discussed at the first appointment, so it is essential to be present.
