Development and application of a digital holography evaluation tool for optical diagnostics within iron particle flames
2022/07/07
Master's thesis
To characterise oxidation properties in different burner configurations, it is of great interest to determine particle sizes, spacing and velocity in situ. Digital holography is a suitable measurement technique for this purpose, which has already been documented in many papers in the literature. Within this work, an evaluation tool is to be created that simulates holograms and allows the reconstruction of the parameters to be measured from measured data sets.

Analyses on secured generation capacity using European power system models
2022/06/20
Talk by Prof. Wolf Fichtner (KIT)
The new PI in Clean Circles, Prof. Wolf Fichtner (KIT), presented his analyses on secured electric power using European power system models. Against the background that new electricity-based applications will significantly increase electricity demand by 2050, he showed the capacity needs for our energy system.

Model-based power plant retrofit from coal to climate-neutral iron as fuel
2022/04/24
Master's thesis
As part of the Clean Circles cluster project, research is being conducted at TU Darmstadt into the use of iron as a climate-neutral energy source. In particular, the existing infrastructure is to be used for electricity generation in power plants. Within the thesis, the retrofit of an existing plant at Infraserv Höchst in Frankfurt is to be modelled and comprehensively evaluated.

„Es wäre ein Notfallszenario“

Prof. Michèle Knodt über die Auswirkungen eines Importstopps von Öl und Gas aus Russland
Die Rufe nach einem Embargo für Öl und Gas aus Russland werden immer lauter. Doch mit ein paar autofreien Sonntagen könne man dies längst nicht auffangen. Die Folgen wären weit drastischer, als sie die meisten bislang annehmen. Zuletzt zitierte Studien, etwa von der Leopoldina und vom Kieler Institut für Weltwirtschaft, zeichneten kein realistisches Bild, sagt Clean Circles Teilprojektleiterin Michèle Knodt im Interview mit dem Darmstädter Echo.

Master thesis in the field flow modelling
2022/03/30
Automated identification of compartments for chemical reactor networks
A crucial step while building a network model is the identification of functional areas (“compartments”) of the reactors from the flow structure. Until now, this is often done manually. Therefore, in this Master’s thesis, this step shall be (at least partially) automated. Automated procedures to identify the compartments can enhance the robustness of the models and the algorithm transparency. Hence, this Master’s thesis plays an important part in the mathematical modeling within Clean Circles.
