  • Modellierung und Bewertung alternativer Wärmeintegrationskonzepte für die eisenbasierte Wasserstoffspeicherung

    Modeling and evaluation of alternative heat integration concepts for iron-based hydrogen storage

    2025/03/31

    Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis

    In this thesis, thermodynamic models are developed to evaluate and optimize alternative heat integration concepts for iron-based hydrogen storage. The focus is on efficient recovery and integration of process heat to generate both energy and cost advantages. Finally, promising concepts are sized and economically assessed, leading to concrete recommendations.

  • Integration und Analyse metallischer Energieträger in multimodalen Energiesystemen mit PyPSA

    Integration and analysis of metallic energy carriers in multimodal energy systems with PyPSA

    2025/03/25

    Masterthesis

    This master’s thesis investigates the integration of metallic energy carriers into large-scale energy systems. Metallic energy carriers are first implemented in the open-source framework PyPSA (Python for Power System Analysis). Subsequently, their role and potential in future multimodal energy systems are analyzed.

  • Modellierung der Eisenoxidation und Eisenoxidreduktion in Wirbelschichtreaktoren

    Modeling of iron oxidation and iron oxide reduction in fluidized bed reactors

    2025/03/04

    Masterthesis

    In the Clean Circles project, the potential and implementation of iron as a sustainable energy carrier are being investigated. Fluidized beds have proven to be a promising reactor concept in this context. The aim of the work is to develop one-dimensional models that enable predictive forecasts, support upscaling, and can be integrated into comprehensive process models.

  • Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis, Advanced Design Project (ADP)

    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. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the formation of these patterns is crucial for various technical applications, spanning from coating and inkjet printing to disease detection. This work delves into the development of a comprehensive model of the specific ring-like deposition patterns observed during the drying of droplets.
