Institute for Technical Thermodynamics
The research interests at TTD concentrate on experimental and theoretical-analytical investigations of complex heat and mass transfer processes as well as the analysis of energy systems. Our expertise reaches from the description of nano- and micro-scale transport phenomena to macro-scale and engineering applications.
Peter Stephan,
Head of the Institute
Thermodynamics is an important basic science for many areas of mechanical engineering and beyond. It describes the transport and conversion of different forms of energy and the associated material properties.

Student assistant “Analytical modeling of internal flow and deposition during nanoparticle-laden drop evaporation”
Expert in MATLAB with experience in analytical formulation
The evaporation of liquid droplets, a phenomenon ubiquitous in daily life, has garnered significant attention in scientific research. Of particular interest is the evaporation of droplets laden with nonvolatile solutes, which results in intricate deposition patterns on the substrate.
