Overview of the generation and characteristics of municipal and industrial waste; current disposal concepts and their legal basis; technical fundamentals; operational aspects based on industrial processes; measures for primary and secondary pollutant reduction.
Focus areas: conventional municipal waste incineration, cement production, and current gasification and pyrolysis processes.
Lecture: 3 hours/week; exercise: 1 hour/week
Scientific Staff: M.Sc. Phil Spatz
language: german
Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Gerald Linke, DVGW
Overview of the structures and technology of the energy industry:
legal framework (Energy Industry Act); overview of pipeline-bound energy systems from generation to consumer; treatment of individual system components such as production, transportation, storage, end distribution, and energy applications (from hot water to electricity generation); addressing future issues of sustainable energy supply.
The lecture is supplemented by excursions to compressor stations, storage facilities, visits to dispatching centers (control centers for gas supply), and tours of a gas museum (history of the gas industry through old and modern exhibits).
Lecture: 3 hours/week; exercise: 1 hour/week
Scientific Staff: M.Sc. David Tarlinski
language: german
The practice-oriented lecture is a collaborative event organized by the HSM, LEAT, and TTF chairs, along with the PSS working group. It aims to provide students with fundamental insights into working with CFD codes.
During the lecture, the open-source CFD code OpenFOAM and the commercial CFD code ANSYS CFX will be used. Various examples will be employed to examine stationary and unsteady, laminar and turbulent, incompressible and compressible flows, as well as particle-laden flows and heat conduction processes.
The creation, execution, and evaluation of simulations will be guided, providing fundamental insights into the vast and complex field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation.
Lecture: 1 hours/week; exercise: 3 hour/week

Fuel properties; stoichiometry of combustion; flame temperature calculation; reaction kinetics; ignition of fuel/oxidizer mixtures; combustion of gaseous fuels; combustion of liquid fuels – atomization, droplet burnout, heat release; combustion of solid fuels – pulverized fuel firing, fixed-bed combustion, fluidized-bed combustion; technical combustion systems; pollutant emissions, specific characteristics of renewable fuels: biomass, H2, NH3
Lecture: 3 hours/week; exercise: 1 hour/week
Scientific Staff: M.Sc. Christoph Yannakis
language: german
Dipl.–Phys. Dr.–Ing. M. Schiemann
Greenhouse gases and their formation, current state of research and development, and perspectives on separation processes, the impact of separation on transport and storage, as well as economic, legislative, and societal aspects.
The offered lecture complements existing lectures in the area of thermal and decentralized power plants.
