Institute of Thermal and Fluid Engineering

Our competencies lie in the field of thermal systems engineering and thermal energy. This also includes combustion, gas turbine processes and the automated simulation and optimisation of manufacturing processes, with the specialist areas of waterjet and atomising technology.

We operates as an expert and innovative team in teaching and research with extensive experience of industry and management. The stated aim of our institute is to tap into and create synergies with our partners based on shared expertise.

Competencies

Fluid engineering

Assessment of fluid and gas flow by determining forces, pressures and speeds.

Thermal engineering

We carry out experimental or computing assignments in the area of combustion, heat transfer/storage and thermodynamic processes.

Simulation methods

Thermomechanical simulations, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and multiphysics calculations.

Measurement technology

Use of active/passive optical methods including spectroscopic laser measurement

Thermal machines and energy systems

Combustion techniques, measurement technology and simulations (process calculation). The main focus is on turbomachinery and internal combustion engines.

Selected projects

SAPE – a modular printing system

The modular printing system SAPE raises the benchmark in terms of printing speed and quality.
