Experimental investigation of the multiphase flow in a stirred tank with PIV and Shadowgraphy (Id 277)
School practical training
With the energy turnaround, the demand for rare earth elements (REE) for key technologies such as lithium for electromobility or neodymium for wind turbines is increasing. The effective processing and separation of these valuable minerals represent a challenge for the mineral industry. One possibility for separation is flotation. Flotation separates the solid particles based on their surface wettability. Hydrophobic valuable particles adhere to gas bubbles and rise as agglomerates. These form a froth which can be skimmed off. The selective separation is influenced by the hydrodynamics in the flotation cell. The optimization of existing flotation cells or the development of new ones has a great potential for more effective separation of REE. Of particular interest are numerical models of flotation cells. In these models, process parameters can be changed much more versatile and easier than in experimental investigations. For this purpose, however, it is necessary to understand the processes taking place in flotation based on experimental studies and also to generate data for the validation of numerical models. In this work, a comprehensive experimental study of multiphase flow in the stirred tank with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and shadowgraphy, concerning flow conditions and material parameters, is to be carried out. The results will help to improve the understanding of multiphase flow within the stirred tank and provide validation data for numerical models.

Development and validation of a measurement and calibration program for a LIBS Handheld Analyzer device for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of scrap samples (Id 275)
Bachelor theses
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a very effective tool for the inspection of scrap samples, allowing rapid in-situ analysis of the composition both in the laboratory and directly in the recycling process. LIBS can detect low atomic number elements (i.e. light elements), some of which, such as carbon, are critical for the accurate characterization of individual scrap. However, it is also possible to detect harmful elements such as fluorine or bromine and thus remove critical samples from the recycling process.
The LIBS technology is available as a handheld instrument and thus offers the possibility to perform cost-effective analyses in real time on site.
The use of a 'LIBS Handheld Analyzer' always requires the application of a device-specific measurement and calibration program.
The aim of the bachelor thesis is the development and validation of such a program for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of simple alloys, which can be used as a blueprint for the development of further analysis programs for more complex composite scrap.

Energetische Bewertung der CO2-Abtrennung von Syngasturbinen mittels intensiverter Trennapparate (Id 263)
Master theses / Diploma theses
Um die von der europäischen Union anvisierten Klimaziele zu erreichen muss eine deutliche Reduktion der CO2-Emissionen erfolgen. Hierbei ist eine Abtrennung von CO2 bei nicht substituierbaren Quellen wie der Zement und Stahlindustrie notwendig. Weiterhin werden dezentrale Blockheizkraftwerke einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Lastflexibilität leisten und somit die Versorgungsstabilität (Backbone) für den Fall gewährleisten, dass erneuerbare Energien temporär nicht verfügbar sind. Da mittelfristig ein Betrieb dieser Blockheizkraftwerke mit Erdgas und punktuelle CO2-Quellen nicht zu vermeiden sind, ist ein geeignetes Konzept zur effizienten CO2-Abtrennung erforderlich. Ein Ansatzpunkt ist die Kopplung von Gasturbine und HiGEE-Trennapparaten über einen gemeinsamen Rotor. HiGEE-Apparate bestehen aus rotierenden Packungen, in denen Waschmittel und Rauchgas unter Ausnutzung der Zentrifugalkraft kontaktiert werden.
Im Rahmen der Arbeit ist eine Recherche zu CO2-Punktquellen in Deutschland und Europa durchzuführen und die CO2-Emissionen sind quantitativ und qualitativ einzuordnen. Ein Konzept zur CO2-Abscheidung ist energetisch zu bewerten. Exemplarisch sollen Betriebsdaten (Leistung, Wirkungsgrad, Abgaszusammensetzung und -temperatur) eines Blockheizkraftwerkes angenommen werden. Daten zur CO2-Abtrennung mittels HiGEE-Apparate sind aus der Literatur zu extrahieren.
Folgende Teilarbeiten sind durchzuführen:
- Recherche zu CO2-Punktquellen in Deutschland und Europa
- Recherche/Analyse der Überschussstromproduktion in Deutschland anhand einer Beispielregion
- Ausstellen der Wärme- und Stoffbilanzen und möglicher energetischer Verschaltungen (Wärmerückgewinnung)
- Abschätzungen erforderlicher HiGEE-Apparategrößen
- Bestimmung des Turbinenwirkungsgrades unter Berücksichtigung des Desportionsprozesses

Gas phase simulation of pressure wave in a gas-injection pipe (Id 259)
Student practical training / Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses
In two-phase flows, the interface at which the phases are in contact to one another is of high importance. One way to manipulate the dynamic of this interface is to modulate the pressure field within the gas phase. Accordingly, it is intended to study the influence of pressure modulation in a gas pipe with multiple openings. In this content, the system characteristics should be defined and the effect of individual parameters, which influence the temporal change of the pressure field at the openings are going to be studied. These parameters include frequency and amplitude of excitations, pressure fluctuation, geometry of the pipe and the openings, gas flow rate, etc. To peruse this idea, it is intended to simulate the gas pressure field in the pipe and under the opening using COMSOL Multiphysics.

Modelling of bubble formation on submillimeter submerged orifice (Id 258)
Student practical training / Bachelor theses / Master theses / Diploma theses
Bubbles are an inevitable part of almost all chemical and process engineering processes as long as heat and mass transfer or particle separation are concerned. Formation of bubbles from a submerged orifice is a typical fluid dynamic phenomenon, which incorporates the influence of different characteristics of both gas and liquid phases. Although posing as a simple problem in the first sight, the formation process varies dramatically by changing influential parameters such as diameter and geometry of orifice, volume of gas reservoir under the orifice, surface tension, density and viscosity of both continuous and dispersed phases, etc. Among these parameters, the effect of the volume of the gas reservoir under the orifice is highly influential. Within an ongoing investigation, we are experimentally studying the effect of this parameter on the dynamics of bubbles generated at orifices smaller than 1 mm. A sub task of this investigation associates the findings of the experimental studies into a mechanistic model, which is designed to estimate the final bubble size.
Task Spectrum:
• Establishment of a profound scientific knowledge into the phenomena of bubble formation and detachment
• Concept development and establishing solution strategy for the bubble volume
• Implementing the solutions into MATLAB
• Compare and adopting the model based on the experimental results
• Generate scientific documentation

Investigation of the flow behavior of fluidized particles by means of coupled CFD-DEM simulations (Id 253)
Master theses / Diploma theses / Compulsory internship / Research Assistant
Fluidized beds are widely applied in process plants of pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries. Due to the complex flow structure optimization of such devices and process control is usually supported by simulations. However, since it is not feasible to resolve all spatial and temporal scales within a single simulation environment, large-scale simulations require reliable sub-models in order to account for small-scale phenomena correctly.
Therefore, the macroscopic flow properties of fluidized particles will be investigated by means of CFD-DEM simulations within the frame of an internship. Research will focus on the influence of different particle size distributions. The results shall lead to enhanced insight into the complex gas-solids-interaction of fluidized beds and will be incorporated into future developments.
