In this Problem-Based Learning unit the students have to design a multiphase reactor for a fast chemical reaction concerning optimal hydrodynamic conditions of the multiphase flow. 

The four students in each team have to:

• collect and discuss material properties and equations for design from the literature,
• calculate the optimal hydrodynamic design,
• check the plausibility of the results critically,
• write an exposé with the results.

This exposé will be used as basis for the discussion within the oral group examen of each team.

The lecture focuses primarily on presenting and discussing established imaging techniques relevant to the field of engineering including (a) optical and infrared imaging, (b) magnetic resonance imaging, (c) X-ray imaging and tomography. Moreover, it presents and discusses a range of more recent imaging modalities. The students will learn:

1. what these imaging techniques can measure (such as sample density or concentration, material transport, chemical composition, temperature),
2. how the measurement techniques work (physical measurement principles, hardware requirements, image reconstruction), and
3. how to determine the most suited imaging methods for a given problem.

Content: The module focuses primarily on discussing established imaging techniques including (a) optical and infrared imaging, (b) magnetic resonance imaging, (c) X-ray imaging and tomography, and (d) ultrasound imaging and also covers a range of more recent imaging modalities. The students will learn:

1. what these imaging techniques can measure (such as sample density or concentration, material transport, chemical composition, temperature),
2. how the measurements work (physical measurement principles, hardware requirements, image reconstruction), and
3. how to determine the most suited imaging methods for a given problem.

Learning goals: After the successful completion of the course, the students shall:

1. understand the physical principles and practical aspects of the most common imaging methods,
2. be able to assess the pros and cons of these methods with regard to cost, complexity, expected contrasts, spatial and temporal resolution, and based on this assessment
3. be able to identify the most suited imaging modality for any specific engineering challenge in the field of chemical and bioprocess engineering.

In the lecture methods for the reduction of emissions from industrial plants are treated. At the beginning a short survey of the different forms of air pollutants is given. In the second part physical principals for the removal of particulate and gaseous pollutants form flue gases are treated. Industrial applications of these principles are demonstrated with examples showing the removal of specific compounds, e.g. sulfur or mercury from flue gases of incinerators.

The lecture offers a general introduction to the basics and possibilities of applied mathematical optimization and deals with application areas on different scales from kinetics identification, optimal design of unit operations to the optimization of entire (sub)processes, and production planning. In addition to the basic classification and formulation of optimization problems, different solution approaches are discussed. Besides deterministic gradient-based methods, metaheuristics such as evolutionary and genetic algorithms and their application are discussed as well.

Heterogeneous Catalysis and Chemical Reaction Engineering are inextricably linked. About 90% of all chemical intermediates and consumer products (fuels, plastics, fertilizers etc.) are produced with the aid of catalysts. Most of them, in particular large scale products, are produced by heterogeneous catalysis viz. gaseous or liquid reactants react on solid catalysts. In multiphase reactors gases, liquids and a solid catalyst are present.

Heterogeneous catalysis plays also a key role in any future energy scenario (fuel cells, electrocatalytic splitting of water) and in environmental engineering (automotive catalysis, photocatalyic abatement of water pollutants).

Heterogeneous catalysis is an interdisciplinary science requiring knowledge of different scientific disciplines such as

• Materials Science (synthesis and characterization of solid catalysts)
• Physics (structure and electronic properties of solids, defects)
• Physical Chemistry (thermodynamics, reaction mechanisms, chemical kinetics, adsorption, desorption, spectroscopy, surface chemistry, theory)
• Reaction Engineering (catalytic reactors, mass- and heat transport in catalytic reactors, multi-scale modeling, application of heterogeneous catalysis)

The lecture focuses primarily on presenting and discussing established imaging techniques relevant to the field of engineering including (a) optical and infrared imaging, (b) magnetic resonance imaging, (c) X-ray imaging and tomography. Moreover, it presents and discusses a range of more recent imaging modalities. The students will learn:

1. what these imaging techniques can measure (such as sample density or concentration, material transport, chemical composition, temperature),
2. how the measurement techniques work (physical measurement principles, hardware requirements, image reconstruction), and
3. how to determine the most suited imaging methods for a given problem.

This lecture introduces a number of significant research topics in fluid mechanics and their up-to-date progresses. Through the lecture, students will learn how to solve real scientific and engineering flow problems using numerical and experimental methods. The lecture helps the students to prepare for their master thesis. The detailed contents include:

• Wall bounded flows (channel flows; pipe flows; wall roughness)
• Convection in porous media (multiscale physics; flow instabilities)
• Flows in turbomachinery (compressor/turbine cascades; wind turbines)
• Flows in biological and physiological processes (digestion in stomach; respiratory system

The focus is on getting to know the organization and practice of waste management companies. Topics such as planning, financing and logistics will be discussed and there will be an excursion (waste incineration plant, vehicle fleet and collection systems / containers).

Project based learning: You will be given a task to work on independently in groups of 4 to 6 students. All tools and data needed for the project work will be discussed in the lecture "Recycling Technologies and Thermal Waste Treatment". Course documents can be downloaded from StudIP. Communication during the project work also takes place via StudIP.
