Anna Klünker and colleagues from Leuphana University Lüneburg, HAW Hamburg and TUHH use a transfer operator method to uncover dynamical compartments in a stirred tank reactor and quantify the mixing between them with a Markov state model, in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
Lara Gibowsky and colleagues from TUHH and TU Graz measure how biopolymer-based hydrogel particles deform under compression and reproduce their behaviour with a new tetrapod-based discrete element model, in Materials & Design.
Srimanta Santra from TUHH develops a Koopman based control framework that keeps continuous stirred tank reactors with uncertain kinetics safely on their nominal trajectory, in Journal of Process Control.
Anja Göbel and colleagues from Leuphana University Lüneburg and HAW Hamburg extend the transfer operator method to chemical reactions, so that flow, mixing and reaction can be followed together at low computational cost.
Johannes Gmeiner and colleagues from the University of Hamburg reinforce organogel beads with iron(III) ions, raising the compressive Young modulus by a factor of 378 while keeping the swelling fully reversible, in Polymer International.
Sri Sannihita Chavali and colleagues from TUHH and Kiel University compare Aerographite with graphite as a cathode material for electroautotrophic biofilms, addressing two bottlenecks in oxic microbial electrosynthesis, in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
Nanning Jaeschke and colleagues from TUHH and Rice University assess PC-SAFT parametrisations and network models for the equilibrium swelling of pNIPAM lyogels in multicomponent solvents, in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
Nanning Jaeschke and colleagues from TUHH and Rice University develop a numerically robust framework for gel phase equilibria that combines PC-SAFT with polymer-network elasticity, in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
Tom Liebing and colleagues from TUHH present a fully embedded, low-cost electrical impedance tomography platform for the in situ monitoring of reactive media in laboratory-scale reactors, in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
Eike Steuwe and colleagues from HAW Hamburg, Leuphana University Lüneburg and TUHH track up to 40,000 tracer particles in a stirred tank reactor and uncover five compartments that hardly exchange fluid with each other, in a preprint on arXiv.
