Steroid hormones (SHs) are a rising concern due to their high bioactivity, ubiquitous nature, and prolonged existence as a micropollutants in water, they pose a potential risk to both human health and the environment, even at low concentrations. Estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone are the three important types of steroids essential for human development and maintaining multiorgan balance, are focus to this concern. These steroid hormones originate
from various sources, including human and livestock excretions, veterinary medications, agricultural runoff, and pharmaceuticals, contributing to their presence in the environment. According to the recommendation of WHO, the guidance value for estradiol (E2) is 1 ng/L. There are several methods been attempted to remove the SH micropollutant by conventional water and wastewater technologies which are still under research. Among the various methods, electrochemical membrane reactor (EMR) is one of the emerging technologies that can address the challenge of insufficient SHs removal from the aquatic environment by conventional treatment. The degradation of SHs can be significantly influenced by various factors when treated with EMR.
In this project, the removal of SH and the important mechanism for the removal using carbon nanotube CNT-EMR is studied and the efficiency of CNT-EMR in treating the SH micropollutant is identified. By varying different parameters this experiment is carried out with the (PES-CNTs) ultrafiltration membrane. The study is carried out depending upon the SH removal based on the limiting factor such as cell voltage, flux, temperature, concentration, and type of the SH.
Global energy demand is still on an increase during the last decade, with a lot of impact on the climate change due to the intensive use of conventional fossil-based fuels power plants to cover this demand. Most recently, leaders of the globe met in 2015 to come out with the Paris Agreement, stating that the countries will start to take a more responsible and effective behaviour toward the global warming and climate change issues. Many studies have discussed how the future energy system will look like with respecting the countries’ targets and limits of greenhouse gases and their CO2 emissions. However, these studies rarely discussed the industry sector in detail even though it is one of the major role players in the energy sector. Moreover, many studies have simulated and modelled the energy system with huge jumps of intervals in terms of years and environmental goals. In the first part of this study, a model will be developed for the German electrical grid with high spatial and temporal resolutions and different scenarios of it will be analysed meticulously on shorter periods (annual optimization), with different flexibilities and used technologies and degrees of innovations within each scenario. Moreover, the challenge in this research is to adequately map the diverse and different characteristics of the medium-sized industrial sector. In order to be able to take a first step in assessing the relevance of the industrial sector in Germany for climate protection goals, the industrial sector will be mapped in PyPSA-Eur (an open-source model data set of the European energy system at the level of the transmission network) by detailing the demand for different types of industry and assigning flexibilities to the industrial types. Synthetically generated load profiles of various industrial types are available. Flexibilities in the industrial sector are described by the project partner Fraunhofer IPA in the GaIN project and can be used. Using a scenario analysis, the development of the industrial sector and the use of flexibilities are then to be assessed quantitatively.
One of the main problematics of the seals tests is the time and money consuming they are. Up to now, there are few tries to do a digitalisation of a test where the seals behaviour can be known.
This work aims to digitally reproduce a seal test to extract their behaviour when working under different operation conditions to see their impact on the pimp’s efficiency. In this thesis, due to the Lomaking effect, the leakage and the forces applied on the stator will be the base of analysis.
First of all, among all the literature available for very different kind of seals and inner patterns, it has been chosen the most appropriate and precise data. The data chosen is “Test results for liquid Damper Seals using a Round-Hole Roughness Pattern for the Stator” from Fayolle, P. and “Static and Rotordynamic Characteristics of Liquid Annular Seals with Circumferentially/Grooved Stator and Smooth Rotor using three levels of circumferential Inlet-Fluid” from Torres J.M.
From the literature, dimensions of the test rig and the seals will be extracted to model them into a 3D CAD software. With the 3D CAD digitalisation, the fluid volumes for a rotor-centred position, meaning without eccentricity, will be extracted, and used. The following components have been modelled:
- Smooth Annular Liquid Seal (Grooved Rotor)
- Grooved Annular Liquid Seal (Smooth Rotor)
- Round-Hole Pattern Annular Liquid Seal (𝐻𝑑=2 𝑚𝑚) (Smooth Rotor)
- Straight Honeycomb Annular Liquid Seal (Smooth Rotor)
- Convergent Honeycomb Annular Liquid Seal (Smooth Rotor)
- Smooth Rotor / Smooth Annular Liquid Seal (Smooth Rotor)
As there is just one test rig, all the components have been adapted to the different dimensions of the seals by referencing some measures. This allows to test any seal with the same test rig.
Afterwards a CFD simulation that will be used to obtain leakage and stator forces. The parameters that will be changed are the rotational velocity of the fluid (2000 rpm, 4000 rpm, and 6000 rpm) and the pressure drop (2,068 bar, 4,137 bar, 6,205 bar, and 8,274 bar).
Those results will be compared to the literature ones, and they will determine if digitalisation can be validated or not. Even though the relative error is higher than 5% but the tendency is the same and it is thought that by changing some parameters the test results can be even closer to the literature ones.
The present document is aimed to propose a suitable thermal model for the cooling down process of a one piston air cooled reciprocating compressor. In order to achieve this, a thermographic camera is used to record the temperature of different measuring points throughout different operating conditions. This data is later analyzed, with statistical tools and graphical visualization. The thermal phenomena present in the thermal process is characterized according to the compressors' geometry. Finally, using the analysis and taking into consideration the thermal phenomena the optimal thermal model is selected. This paper belongs to a bigger project and the last step is to simulate the compressor and the accuracy of the proposed model.

To date, many experiments have been performed to study how the internal geometrical shapes of the annular liquid seal can reduce internal leakage and increase pump efficiency. These can be time-consuming and expensive as all rotordynamic coefficients must be determined in each case.
Nowadays, accurate simulation methods to calculate rotordynamic coefficients of annular seals are still rare. Therefore, new numerical methods must be designed and validated for annular seals.
The present study aims to contribute to this labour by providing a summary of the available test rig and seals dimensions and experimental results obtained in the following experiments:
− Kaneko, S et al., Experimental Study on Static and Dynamic Characteristics of Liquid Annular Convergent-Tapered Seals with Honeycomb Roughness Pattern (2003) [1] − J. Alex Moreland, Influence of pre-swirl and eccentricity in smooth stator/grooved rotor liquid annular seals, static and rotordynamic characteristics (2016) [2]
A 3D CAD simulation with Siemens NX Software of the test rig used in J. Alex Moreland’s experiment has been made. The following annular liquid seals have also been 3D modelled, as well as their fluid volume:
− Smooth Annular Liquid Seal (SS/GR) (J. Alex Moreland experiment)
− Grooved Annular Liquid Seal (GS/SR)
− Round-Hole Pattern Annular Liquid Seal (𝐻𝑑=2 mm) (GS/SR)
− Straight Honeycomb Annular Liquid Seal (GS/SR)
− Convergent Honeycomb Annular Liquid Seal (No. 3) (GS/SR)
− Smooth Annular Liquid Seal (SS/SR) (S. Kaneko experiment)
In the case of the seals used in S. Kaneko’s experiments, the test rig has been adapted to each seal, defining interpart expressions which can be easily modified.
Afterwards, it has been done a CFD simulation of the Smooth Annular Liquid Seal using Ansys CFX Software. To do so, the fluid volume geometry has been simplified to do a first approximation. Results have been compared for an eccentricity 𝜀0=0.00 for the following ranges of rotor speeds and differential of pressure:
− Δ𝑃= 2.07, 4.14, 6.21, and 8.27 bar,
− 𝜔= 2, 4, 6 and 8 krpm.
Even results obtained have the same trend as the one proportionated by the literature, they cannot be validated as the error is above 5%. It is also observed that as the pressure drop increases, the relative error decreases considerably.
The objective of this thesis is the quantification and qualification of neonicotinoid insecticides using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Neonicotinoids are a relatively new form of pesticides, which have been proven to be extremely lethal to the honey bee, Apis mellifera. In this paper six forms of neonicotinoid insecticides (i.e. Acetamiprid, Thiacloprid, Imidacloprid, Clothianidin, Thaimethoxam, and Nitenpyram) are analysed. The initial steps are to first find a suitable mobile phase eluent, followed by the search for a reagent causing a luminescence effect of the neonicotinoids on a TLC plate. Subsequently, a calibration method is then used to find the detection limit of this TLC experiment. The aim is, therefore, to achieve a standard method of quantifying and qualifying neonicotinoids via TLC. Whilst a suitable mobile phase has been established, an optimal fluorescent reagent has yet to be found and more research on the subject must be carried out.
As the population grows, so does the amount of biowaste. As demand for energy grows, biogas is a promising solution to the problem. Lignocellulosic materials are challenged of slow degradability due to the presence of polymers such as cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose. There are several pretreatment methods available to enhance the degradability of such materials, including enzymatic pretreatment. In this pretreatment, there are few parameters that can influence the results, the most important being the enzyme to solid ratio and the solid to liquid ratio. During this project, experiments were conducted to determine the optimal conditions for those two factors. It was discovered that a solid to liquid ratio of 31 g of buffer per 1 gram of organic dry matter produced the highest reducing sugar release in flasks when combined with 34 mg of protein per 1 gram of organic dry mass. Additionally, another experiment was carried out to investigate the impact of enzymatic pretreatment on biogas production using artificial biowaste as a substrate. Artificial biowaste produced 577,9 NL/kg oDM, while enzymatically pretreated biowaste produced 639,3 NL/kg oDM. This resulted in a 10,6% rise in cumulative biogas production compared to its use without enzymatic pretreatment. By the conclusion of the investigation, specific cumulative dry methane yields of 364,7 NL/kg oDM and 426,3 NL/kg oDM were obtained from artificial biowaste without and with enzymatic pretreatment, respectively. This resulted in a methane production boost of 16,9%. Additionally in case of the reactors with enzymatically pretreated substrate kinetic constant was lower more than double, where maximum volume of biogas increased, comparing to the reactors without enzymatic pretreatment.
As society continues to age, the implementation of hip stems increases every year. However, there are a variety of different hip stem designs.
The aim of this project is to analyze which hip stem design implemented in a femur is most effective under different static loading conditions such as gait and sideways falling. In addition, a four-point-bending test was carried out. Therefore, the tech-niques were simulated in silico by FEA with Abaqus/CAE 2019.
A short stem, a straight stem and an anatomical stem were tested. All prosthesis are cementless press-fit stems. Each hip stem was examined in physiological and osteoporotic bone applying all three tests. To compare the stems the tests were also applied on a native bone model as a reference. Boundary conditions were used in order to simulate the tests.
The average von Mises stress, tension, compression and the risk of fracture were extracted and compared.
Biomechanical results show that the straight stem induces higher von Mises stresses compared to the anatomical stem. The risk of fracture is higher for osteo-porotic bone than for physiological bone. However, there is no risk of fracture as all the results are below the risk of value.
