Modellierung von offenen Absorptionsanlagen zur Raum- und Prozessluftentfeuchtung
(2023)
Luftentfeuchtung erfolgt in herkömmlichen Trocknungs- und Klimatisierungsanlagen durch eine Kühlung der feuchten Luft unter ihren Taupunkt (Kondensationsentfeuchter) und einer anschließenden Erwärmung bis zu der gewünschten Temperatur. Das Prinzip dieser Betriebsweise birgt einen unnötigen Stromverbrauch. In der vorliegenden Dissertation wird daher ein alternatives Luftentfeuchtungsverfahren beschrieben, bei dem die Luftentfeuchtung durch einen offenen Absorptionsprozess realisiert wird. In dem offenen Absorptionsprozess ...

Practical application of active premagnetization in transformerless DC/DC converters
(2023-05-17)
Magnetic devices are used in almost every power electronic system. Therefore, their purpose and with that their requirements can vary in a wide range. The consequence is a large number of options regarding the priority of optimisation. In this work, the focus is on reducing the volume or weight of inductors in transformerless DC-DC converters. Active prmeagnetization is choosed as an optimisation approach. The technique enables an operation of the DC-DC-converter in the Triangular Current Mode (TCM), whereby ...

Characterisation of Cold Asphalt Mixtures with the Addition of Active Fillers
(2023)
Climate change, the limited availability of natural resources, and energy crises are putting pressure on the global societies? to employ low-energy and low-emission technologies for road pavement construction. Cold Recycled Materials (CRM) is an efficient and low-impact solution. CRM with Bituminous Emulsion (CRM-BE) is one of the most common types of CRM. CRM-BEs are created at ambient temperature by combining a high amount of Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) with Bitumen Emulsion (BE). BE used in CRM is typically composed ...

Numerical simulation of a sub-wavelength plasmonic THz antenna for bio-sensing applications
(2023)
In the past decades, bio-sensing has become a steadily growing field in the life-sciences. Popular subjects of investigation are proteins, which for instance mediate intra-cellular transfer of substances and thus are attractive drug targets. They are also responsible for the occurence of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and the Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. Examining proteins to uncover their fundamental properties and behavior is important in order to advance modern health care and medicine. One way to ...

Plastic packaging waste management in Germany: Evaluating and optimizing material flows and environmental impacts
(2023)
Since 1990, the annual plastic packaging consumption by private end users in Germany more than doubled. This trend can be attributed to plastic's advantageous properties such as its low weight, cost-effectiveness, and customizable features. However, plastic packaging is also widely criticized due to its dependency on fossil fuels, short lifespan, and potential contribution to marine littering. The tension between the popularity of plastic packaging and the environ-mental challenges associated with a short-term product ...
Dissertation
Lignocellulosic biorefinery with a thermo-biological pretreatment concept
(2023)
There is great interest, not only in technologically advanced societies, in developing innovative sources of raw materials, especially lignocellulosic biomasses such as cereal straw, which do not interfere with food production. In Germany, 4 – 9 million tons of cereal straw, mainly wheat, are utilized annually, corresponding to an energy potential of 57 – 129 PJ/a. Lignocellulose, found in plant cell walls, consists of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin, and it requires complex fractionation to enable its polymers ...

Ultrahochleistungsbetone mit Bewehrung aus Formgedächtnismetallen zur Optimierung der Frisch- und Festbetoneigenschaften
(2023-11)
Formgedächtnislegierungen haben die Eigenschaft sich durch einen thermischen oder spannungsinduzierten Impuls an eine zuvor eingeprägte Form zu „erinnern“. Dies beruht auf einer reversiblen Phasenumwandlung von der Niedrigtemperaturphase Martensit zu der Hochtemperaturphase Austenit. Durch diese Eigenschaft und die sich dadurch gebenden Möglichkeiten finden diese Legierungen auch immer mehr Beachtung im Bauingenieurwesen. Dies ist vor allem im Bereich der Energiedissipation und der externen Vorspannung und dem ...

Structural Design Pedagogy for Architects: Fostering Cross-Disciplinary Integration and Innovation
(2023)
This study develops and presents a qualitative and design-oriented approach to structural
design education as part of architectural education. Existing approaches to structural
design in architectural education for the most part seek to emulate, adapt and
simplify contents and methods typically employed within civil engineering education,
where structures are primarily understood and taught within the framework of static
principles and numerical analysis. In architectural practice, observations however show
that ...
