Digital Teaching
The lecture and the lecture room exercise (Vorrechenübung) will be held in presence. In addition, video recordings will be made available via moodle. For the group exercises, the tasks and solutions will be made available as PDFs in moodle, as before. Both face-to-face exercises and ZOOM consultation hours will be offered.

Sustainability Reference of the Course Contents
Metrics and methods regarding efficient energy use are covered:
- Efficiencies and coefficients of performance (especially in comparison to "Carnot").
- Exergy analyses / exergetic efficiency
- Measures to improve the efficiency of cycle processes (e.g. feedwater preheating, reheating)
