It has been developed by the authors and installed as a mandatory part of the curriculum in three master's degree programs for engineering students. The participants of the course are postgraduates with different nationalities, mostly German, and different technical backgrounds. They study Mechanical Engineering, Simulation and Experimental Technology, or International Business Engineering. The basic idea of the course concept goes far beyond simply teaching the standards of academic writing and skills for using scientific publications. By using a learnercentered approach, the students get engaged in typical activities around an active attendance of a real conference. Students learn to locate the field of their bachelor thesis or project report in the world of research communities, scientific journals and engineering conferences. They learn about conferences matching their bachelor/project topic. They write a paper complying with common academic standards, submit it to a mock-up conference, and review submissions of their fellow students. Students also produce a poster and have to defend it in a poster session held publicly on the campus.

The proposed steam cycle uses a pressure level below atmospheric pressure which allows to use the heat from the motor's coolant for evaporation. The cycle is designed to increase the maximum electrical efficiency of a gas fired reciprocating engine and to increase operational flexibility for varying heat demand. Since organic Rankine cycle (ORC) plants are already being successfully used for waste heat recovery, advantages of the low-pressure steam Rankine cycle (SRC) over an ORC are highlighted. Many ORC fluids are toxic or flammable and thus have an increased risk potential compared to water. An additional advantage of water compared to ORC fluids is the possibility of superheating above 500 °C. The technical feasibility of the proposed cycle is studied by the detailed design of the individual system components such as turbine, heat exchangers and auxiliary parts. This includes the detailed thermodynamic design of the full cycle for the calculation of plant efficiencies. As a basis for future experimental investigations, a cogeneration plant with an electrical output of 50 kWel was selected as a heat source for the steam cycle. The design geometries of the turbine and the heat exchanger are presented along with efficiency and cost predictions. A subsonic radial turbine with a rotational speed of 155,000 rpm was selected. The maximum turbine output is about 7.5 kW. The use of a flash evaporator is investigated to reduce the size and the costs for the evaporator. The suggested steam cycle helps to increase the electrical efficiency of the CHP plant by 4.5\% points from an original 36.5\% to 41.0\%. The steam cycle itself has an electrical efficiency of approximately 9\%. Additionally, the condensation temperature in this steam cycle is high enough to be extracted as useful heat output to generate domestic water with a temperature of 50°C.}, language = {en} } @incollection{RoedderLauxNeef2015, author = {R{\"o}dder, Maximilian and Laux, Christoph and Neef, Matthias}, title = {Systematic fluid selection in early stages of ORC design: a practical engineering approach}, series = {Proceedings of the ASME Turbo Expo: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition - 2015 : presented at the ASME 2015 Turbo Expo: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition, June 15 - 19, 2015, Montreal, Quebec, Canada / sponsored by the International Gas Turbine Institute}, volume = {3: Coal, biomass and alternative fuels - cycle innovations - electric power - industrial and cogeneration}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the ASME Turbo Expo: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition - 2015 : presented at the ASME 2015 Turbo Expo: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition, June 15 - 19, 2015, Montreal, Quebec, Canada / sponsored by the International Gas Turbine Institute}, publisher = {International Gas Turbine Institute (ASME)}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-0-7918-5667-3}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RoedderSpiegelFranketal.2019, author = {R{\"o}dder, Maximilian and Spiegel, Thomas and Frank, Lena and Neef, Matthias and Adam, Mario}, title = {Integration eines multifunktionalen W{\"a}rmepumpensystems als Hardware-in-the-Loop in ein Niederspannungsnetzmodell}, series = {Smart Energy and Systems 2019: Digitalisierung - Anwendungen in Technik und Industriegesellschaft, 10.
