SCIENTIST

ABOUT US

To cope with climate change and to create resilient supply chains, a switch from fossil to renewable raw materials is essential. Under the leadership of the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), the CRC 1615 is developing processes and reactors that can react flexibly to fluctuating properties of renewable raw materials and enable more resilient process engineering. In subproject B05 "From sensors and trajectories to transport and mixing", which is being worked on jointly with the research group of Prof. Padberg-Gehle from Leuphana University Lüneburg, the aim is to gain a better understanding of flow-influenced transport and mixing processes in chemical reactors. The aim is to identify zones with poor mixing and thus reduce their negative influence on reaction yields and the formation of by-products. As a data basis for network-based analyses at Leuphana University, experimental measurements of particle and sensor trajectories, e. g. by means of high-resolution particle tracking (4D-PTV, Shake-the-Box), are carried out at HAW Hamburg.
