This work applies the Dynamic Advanced Exergy Analysis (DAEA) to a heating and domestic hot water (DHW) facility supplied by a Stirling engine and a condensing boiler. For the first time, an advanced exergy analysis using dynamic conditions is applied to a building energy system. DAEA provides insights on the components’ exergy destruction (ED) by ...
In this work, building blocks required to control electrostatically actuated radio frequency micro- electro- mechanical system (RF-MEMS) matrices were developed and integrated into demonstrator circuits. The realized chips include the high-voltage (HV) generation and switching units integrated together with the RF-MEMS switches. To the author’s kno...
The phenomenon of fluid–structure interaction (FSI) appears in many engineering applications. Its computation allows to quantify the mechanical behaviour of both fluid and structure interacting with each other. For that purpose, appropriate field equations are specified for an incompressible, viscous fluid and a linear elastic solid. The domain mov...
The final authenticated publication is available online at https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-17872-7_8. / Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation allows for the study of static and dynamic properties of molecular ensembles at various molecular scales, from monatomics to macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. It has applications in biology, m...
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease caused by the imbalance between bone resorption and formation. In osteoporosis, the risk of fracture increases due to the structural deterioration of the bone. Hip fractures are associated with increased mortality and morbidity and lead to a decline in the quality of life. Due to these reasons, hip fractures repre...
The submonolayer (SML) growth method was developed as an alternative to the established Stranski-Krastanow (SK) technique in order to produce quantum dots (QDs) with higher areal density and consequently larger optical gain. In this dissertation, fundamental and applied aspects of SML-grown QDs as active media in optoelectronic devices are investig...
Modern battery energy systems are key enablers of the conversion of our energy and mobility sector towards renewability. Most of the time, their batteries are connected to power electronics that induce high frequency current ripple on the batteries that could lead to reinforced battery ageing. This study investigates the influence of high frequency...
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Erzeugung virtueller Prototypen von Dieselfahrzeugen und deren Abgasnachbehandlung auf Basis von dynamischen Modellen. Durch die komplexen Randbedingungen im Kontext von RDE (engl. Real Driving Emissions) stoßen klassische Entwicklungsmethoden an ihre Grenzen um eine ausreichende konzeptionelle Sicherheit...
The MolMod database is presented, which is openly accessible at http://molmod.boltzmann-zuse.de and contains intermolecular force fields for over 150 pure fluids at present. It was developed and is maintained by the Boltzmann-Zuse Society for Computational Molecular Engineering (BZS). The set of molecular models in the MolMod database provides a co...
Telecommunications play a crucial role in our daily lives, not only because of their significance in allowing interaction between all of us, but also due to the forthcoming expansion of connection and exchange of data between machines, the so-called Internet of Things (IoT), which will result in a massive network of thousands of millions of devices...
