Stoffumwandlung in der Energietechnik / Energietechnik und Ressourcenmanagement (ETRM)

Dipl.–Phys. Dr.–Ing. M. Schiemann

Dr. Enric Illana Mahiques

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


Energiegase: Methan, Biogas, Wasserstoff, Synthesegase (EI)

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

CFD in der Praxis

Dr. E. Illana

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

Scientific Staff: M.Sc. Torben Bergold

language: german
