Investigation of boiling phenomena in low gravity environment

From February 21-22, 2019, a group of European researchers has met at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, Netherlands to make last preparations for their experiment “Multiscale Boiling”. The experiment was designed to measure boiling phenomena under microgravity and is to be carried to the International Space Station ISS on July 8, 2019 with the Falcon 9 rocket. After installation, the experiment will be operated for several months.

Unterstützung der Forschung zur energetischen Optimierung der Wärme- und Kälteversorgung am Campus Lichtwiese

Im Forschungsprojekt EnEff:Stadt Campus Lichtwiese untersuchen Forscher aus Architektur, Elektrotechnik und Maschinenbau gemeinsam, wie an den Schnittstellen zwischen thermischen und elektrischen Netzen sowie Gebäuden Energieeffizienzpotentiale auf lokaler Ebene ausgenutzt werden können. Aufgabe in dieser Hiwi-Tätigkeit ist die allgemeine Unterstützung der Forschungsarbeit im Projekt.

New publication in Applied Thermal Engineering

Pulsating heat pipes (PHP) are capable of removing high localized heat fluxes to provide the necessary temperature uniformity, i.a. in electronic components. Researchers from the TTD and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have investigated the performance of a flat plate PHP and a capillary tube PHP. The results have been published in Applied Thermal Engineering.
