Distinct limitations of this model were demonstrated for past and modern steels and gas mixtures. These can be related to the insufficient description of individual physical processes and interactions between the pipe material and transported mixture during the running ductile fracture. In the past, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models enabled a more sophisticated, coupled analysis of the failure scenario. To quantify their capability of describing the multi-physical processes, the FSI models need to be verified by experimental data from full-scale burst tests (FSBT). Therefore, this paper deals with the simulation of five FSBTs from the literature on API grade X65 pipes with different pipe geometries, mixtures and initial conditions. The FSI is modeled by the coupled Euler-Lagrange (CEL) method. The modified Mohr-Coulomb (MMC) model is implemented in the CEL framework to describe the deformation and ductile fracture in the X65/L450 pipes. 3D Euler equations are used to calculate the mixture decompression with the GERG-2008 equation of state defining the volumetric behavior of a CO2-rich mixture, CH4 and H2. The extended model considers the effect of soil backfill on the pipe deformation and inertia. The numerical predictions agree well with the experimental findings in terms of the crack propagation speed and arrest length underlining the capability of the developed numerical tool.}, subject = {Bruchmechanik}, language = {en} } @article{KeimNonnMuenstermann, author = {Keim, Vincent and Nonn, Aida and M{\"u}nstermann, Sebastian}, title = {Application of the modified Bai-Wierzbicki model for the prediction of ductile fracture in pipelines}, series = {International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping}, volume = {171}, journal = {International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping}, number = {March}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijpvp.2019.02.010}, pages = {104 -- 116}, abstract = {The complex mechanical and corrosive loads of modern pipeline systems transporting oil, natural gas and CO2 impose steadily increasing requirements on material properties. The majority of current design standards still limit the application of modern high toughness linepipe steels due to the simple specification of material requirements in terms of energy levels from Charpy impact or Battelle Drop-Weight-Tear (BDWT) tests. In consequence, research activities have been conducted recently aiming at developing modified or novel experimental methods for the characterization of the ductile fracture behavior. To quantify the effects of various parameters on fracture behavior and derive suitable correlations, it is necessary to accompany these activities by numerical simulations with appropriate ductile damage models. In this paper, the MBW model is applied to study the structural behavior of pipelines in ductile fracture regime. Due to its precise incorporation of the underlying load conditions, the damage model is successfully used to simulate the slant fracture behavior in Battelle Drop weight tear test specimens and pipe sections. In comparison to ductile damage models applied in former studies, namely the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman and Cohesive Zone model, the presented numerical methodology allows for a more detailed investigation of loading, material and geometry effects on fracture and crack arrest behavior of pipelines.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SteiningerGadererDawoud, author = {Steininger, Peter and Gaderer, Matthias and Dawoud, Belal}, title = {Transient performance of a solar selective thermal insulation system}, series = {16th Advanced Building Skins Conference \& Expo, 21 - 22/10/2021, Bern, Switzerland}, booktitle = {16th Advanced Building Skins Conference \& Expo, 21 - 22/10/2021, Bern, Switzerland}, publisher = {Advanced Buidling Skins GmbH}, abstract = {A prototype of a thermal insulation system to offer high selectivity of the solar gain regarding the solar incidence angle (SATIS) was applied to a typical solid brick masonry for existing buildings in Germany.

The entire wall construction was experimentally investigated in a differential climatic chamber test bench at four different irradiation angles according to a dynamic test procedure.

Weltweit wurden alleine im Jahr 2015 181 Mt Ammoniak produziert, wodurch die Ammoniakherstellung mit 1,2 \% am gesamten Energieverbrauch der Welt beteiligt ist und f{\"u}r 0,93 \% der globalen Treibhausgasemissionen zust{\"a}ndig ist. Auch in Zeiten der Energiewende ist diese Grundstoffchemikalie unentbehrlich, ist aber auf einem anderen Wege herzustellen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Darstellung verschiedener M{\"o}glichkeiten zur erneuerbaren Elektrifizierung und Dekarbonisierung der Ammoniakindustrie, wodurch der Einsatz von herk{\"o}mmlichen Energietr{\"a}gern wie Erdgas, Kohle und {\"O}l negiert werden kann. Ammoniak wird aktuell {\"u}ber das Haber-Bosch-Verfahren aus den Rohstoffen Erdgas, Kohle und {\"O}l gewonnen. Bei diesem Verfahren wird {\"u}ber einen Prim{\"a}r- und Sekund{\"a}rreformer Wasserstoff und Stickstoff gewonnen. Andere Gasbestandteile werden gefiltert oder umgewandelt, um sch{\"a}dliche Katalysatorgifte (CO, H2S) zu entfernen. Im Reaktor wird an Eisenkatalysatoren aus Wasserstoff und Stickstoff letztendlich Ammoniak hergestellt. Der Energieverbrauch des Haber-Bosch Verfahrens schwankt zwischen 7,8 MWh/t NH3 f{\"u}r eine moderne und sehr effiziente Anlage mit Erdgas und 13,6 MWh/t NH3 f{\"u}r eine alte mit Kohle betriebene Anlage. An Emissionen treten pro hergestellter Tonne Ammoniak je nach Rohstoff 1,6-3,8 t CO2-eq auf. Neben der Biomassevergasung gibt es mehrere rein elektrische Ans{\"a}tze zur Ammoniakherstellung. Die unterschiedlichen elektrochemischen Ans{\"a}tze zur direkten Ammoniaksynthese, wie der Einsatz von Fl{\"u}ssigsalzelektrolyten oder Feststoffelektrolyten, wurden in Abschnitt 3.2 vorgestellt. Einige dieser Technologien zeigen vielversprechende Ans{\"a}tze, sind jedoch zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt noch zu weit von einem industriellen Einsatz entfernt. Der Einsatz der Wasserelektrolyse in Kombination mit einer Luftzerlegungseinheit ist die derzeit vielversprechendste Methode Ammoniak auf einem strombasierten und dekarbonisierten Wege herzustellen. Bei diesem System wird Wasserstoff im Elektrolyseur und Stickstoff in der Luftzerlegungseinheit hergestellt. Die Ammoniaksynthese findet hierbei in einem Reaktor nach Vorbild des Haber-Bosch-Prozesses statt. Mit diesem System ist ein Energieverbrauch von ca. 10 MWh/t NH3 notwendig. Durch den Einsatz von rein erneuerbar hergestelltem Strom als Energietr{\"a}ger l{\"a}sst sich mit diesem Technologiezusammenschluss die Ammoniakherstellung komplett Emissionsfrei gestalten. Dadurch k{\"o}nnen alleine in Deutschland j{\"a}hrlich bis zu 7,8 Mt CO2-eq eingespart werden. Eine zuk{\"u}nftige Umstrukturierung der Ammoniakherstellung und der gesamten chemischen Industrie ist unabdingbar.

In this paper, a novel power-to-methane concept is presented and discussed for this purpose. A special focus is on methods for the required CO2 capture from typical flue gases in the glass industry, which have hardly been explored to date. To close this research gap, process simulation models are developed to investigate post-combustion CO2 capture by absorption processes, followed by a techno-economic evaluation. Due to reduced flue gas volume, the designed CO2 capture plant is found to be much smaller (40 m3 absorber column volume) than absorption-based CO2 separation processes for power plants (12,560 m3 absorber column volume). As there are many options for waste heat utilization in the glass industry, the waste heat required for CO2 desorption can be generated in a particularly efficient and cost-effective way. The resulting CO2 separation costs range between 41 and 42 EUR/t CO2, depending on waste heat utilization for desorption. These costs are below the values of 50-65 EUR/t CO2 for comparable industrial applications. Despite these promising economic results, there are still some technical restrictions in terms of solvent degradation due to the high oxygen content in flue gas compositions. The results of this study point towards parametric studies for approaching these issues, such as the use of secondary and tertiary amines as solvents, or the optimization of operating conditions such as stripper pressure for further cost reductions potential.}, language = {en} } @article{FreniFrazzicaDawoudetal., author = {Freni, Angelo and Frazzica, Andrea and Dawoud, Belal and Chmielewski, Stefanie and Calabrese, Luigi and Bonaccorsi, Lucio Maria}, title = {Adsorbent coatings for heat pumping applications: Verification of hydrothermal and mechanical stabilities}, series = {Applied Thermal Engineering}, volume = {50}, journal = {Applied Thermal Engineering}, number = {2}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2011.07.010}, pages = {1658 -- 1663}, abstract = {This paper presents novel experimental methods for verification of both hydrothermal and mechanical stabilities of adsorbent coatings.
