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.

Bioeconomy is the production, utilization and conservation of biological resources, including related knowledge, science, technology, and innovation, to provide information products, processes, and services across all economic sectors aiming towards a sustainable biobased technology. In this course the significance of various topics including the production and processing of biomass, economics, logistic as well as management will be discussed. Technologies aiming at the production of renewable biological resources and the conversion of these resources and waste streams into value-added products, such as food, feed, bio-based products (textiles, bioplastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals) and bioenergy will be presented. Biological tools including microorganisms and enzymes will be introduced. This approach with a focus on chemical and process engineering will provide a smooth transition from crude oil-based industry to Sustainable Circular Bioeconomy taking into consideration the environmental issues. This sustainable use of renewable resources for industrial purposes will ensure environmental protection and a long-term balance of social and economic gains.

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.

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)

In exercise, the contents of the lecture are further deepened and transferred into practical application. This is done using example tasks from practice, which are made available to the students. The students are to solve these tasks independently or in groups with the help of the lecture material. The solution is then discussed with students under scientific guidance, with parts of the task being presented on the blackboard.

In the laboratory practical course, practical experiments on power-to-X processes are carried out. The challenges for the technical implementation of power-to-x processes are made clear to the students. The associated analysis of the test samples is also part of the laboratory practical course and is carried out and evaluated by the students themselves. The results are precisely summarised and scientifically presented in an experimental protocol.

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.

In the frame of the course the basics of fermentation, fluid processing and process engineering will be repeated.

Following all aspects of manufacturing of beer will be explained: selection and processing of raw materials, different liquid and solid unit operations, packaging technology and final quality assurance/sensory evaluation.

The students will perform all unit operations in pilot scale. The objective is that student experience and adopt a holistic view of food manufacturing.

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
  
• Interfacial mass transfer of bubbly flows
• Comparison between experiments and simulation, experimental validation

• Combustion in engines (optional)
