Steffen Schaper will present his master's thesis on September 7th, 2021.

Mr. Schaper will present the results of his master thesis, titled “Design of a pressure- and chemical-resistant jet-loop reactor by scale-down from pilot-plant to laboratory scale and subsequent characterization”, on September 7th, 2021. Within the framework of an ongoing project, Mr. Schaper was respsonsible for scaling an existing pilot-plant into lab scale, while taking elevated pressures and certain chemicals into account.

New article on the simulation of split-and-recombine micromixers published in Journal of Flow Chemistry

One of the biggest challenges in continuous polymer synthesis is fouling. This is being investigated in more detail as part of the ENPRO 2 framework programme funded by the Federal Ministry of Education. An essential step to avoid fouling is the pre-mixing of the reaction components. At the Institute for Multiphase Flows, mixing is therefore investigated in detail both experimentally and simulatively in micromixers. The latest results can be found in the Institute's most recent publication.

Listen now! Seventh Podcast "Füchse der Wissenschaft" online.

The sixth episode focuses on the In the seventh episode of "Füchse der Wissenschaft" Jan and Sebastian invited two new PhD students from the TU Berlin, namely Karin and Tolue. They talk about how to stay motivated, why they use the fungi Aspergillus niger in their subproject HetAn, how to cultivate it and eventually how to characterize and investigate it. Furthermore they focus from now on more on the engineering part, speaking of the general setup of a bioreactor and what growth phases there are in a batch cultivation.
