TY - CHAP A1 - Neef, Matthias A1 - Zielke, Thomas A1 - Fussenecker, Claudia ED - Danish Network for Engineering Education, T1 - Engineering Conferences - An Innovative Course for Master Students in Engineering T2 - Exploring Teaching for Active Learning in Engineering Education N2 - A course called "Engineering Conferences" is presented that the authors have developed and installed as a mandatory part of the curriculum in Master programs for engineering students. The idea is to go beyond teaching the standards of academic writing and skills for working with scientific publications. By using a learner-centered approach, we get the students engaged in typical activities around an active attendance of a real conference. They write a paper complying with common academic standards, submit the paper and review submissions of their fellow students. Students also produce a poster and have to defend it in a poster session held publicly on campus. In this article, we present our rationale to develop the course and our results from the first semester teaching this course. This includes the presentation of useful resources for teaching and organizing scientific publishing as well as our reflected learning experience regarding the student's understanding of significance for scientific publishing.

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. Engineering Conferences is a course on scientific communication and presentation that also aims at the development of other skills and competences needed in the world of modern engineering.

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.

Regenerativen Energietechnik Konferenz, Nordhausen, 08. - 09. Februar 2024 N2 - Parabolrinnen nutzen parabolisch gekrümmte Spiegel, um die direkte Globalstrahlung auf ein Vakuum-Absorberrohr zu konzentrieren. Eine Effizienzsteigerung dieser Technologie wird durch eine vollständige Automatisierung der Sonnennachführung optimiert. Die an einem Parabolrinnen-Versuchsträger der Hochschule Düsseldorf realisierte Steuerung und Berechnung der Nachführung werden kontinuierlich über einen Microcontroller realisiert. Eine Kalibrierung der Parabolrinne im Labormaßstab zur Erkennung des Winkels erfolgt über Infrarotsensoren. Die Berechnung des Sonnenstandes, durch den Algorithmus, kann unabhängig von einer Stromzufuhr durch eine Real-Time-Clock bestimmt werden. Mittels Schrittmotor und Treiber verfährt die Parabolrinne in die errechnete Position. Die Feinausrichtung der Parabolrinne erfolgt über ein Verschattungsmodul und zwei Photowiderstände. Durch den Einsatz von 3D-gedruckten Bestandteilen sind die genutzten Komponenten kostengünstig und können standortunabhängig reproduziert werden. Durch das Zusammenspiel der Komponenten ist ein autonomer Einsatz möglich. KW - Parabolrinnen KW - Sonnenenergie KW - Microcontroller Y1 - 2024 CY - Nordhausen ER -
