TTD-Projekt mit Deutschem Rechenzentrumspreis 2017 ausgezeichnet

Das Projekt “Rechenzentren als Wärmeerzeuger: Nutzungspotentiale für Rechnerabwärme” von Johannes Oltmanns (Institut für Technische Thermodynamik) ist mit dem Deutschen Rechenzentrumspreis 2017 ausgezeichnet worden. Ziel des Projektes ist es, die Abwärme des Hochleistungsrechners der TU Darmstadt zukünftig möglichst energieeffizient für das TU-eigene Fernwärmenetz zu nutzen.

Talk by Prof. Dominik Barz (Queen's University, Kingston, Canada)

Many Lab-on-a-Chip operations can be realized with electrokinetic phenomena. Electrokinetic phenomena are related to the existence of electrical surface charges of substrates when in contact with liquids. On January 27, 2017, Prof. Dominik Barz will give an overview of some fundamental and practical aspects.

New Collaborative Resarch Centre on transport and wetting processes

In many technologies the dynamic wetting or de-wetting of surfaces by liquids plays a prominent role. A new Collaborative Research Center at TU Darmstadt will strongly focus on this research topic. The project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with 11 Million Euros for the next four years and will start on July 1, 2016. SFB 1194 Website
