CFD-based Shape Optimization of Structured Packings for Enhancing Separation Efficiency in Distillation
Sebastian Blauth, Dennis Stucke, Mohamed Adel Ashour +3
Free-form shape optimization techniques are investigated to improve the separation efficiency of structured packings in laboratory-scale distillation columns. A simplified simulati…
A Novel Deflation Approach for Topology Optimization and Application for Optimization of Bipolar Plates of Electrolysis Cells
Leon Baeck, Sebastian Blauth, Christian Leithäuser +2
Topology optimization problems usually feature multiple local minimizers. To guarantee convergence to local minimizers that perform best globally or to find local solutions that ar…
Continuous Synthesis of Diazo Acetonitrile: From Experiments to Physical and Grey-Box Modeling
Marco Baldan, Sebastian Blauth, Dušan Bošković +6
Diazo compounds are gathering interest for their potential in promoting greener synthesis routes. We investigate, at a lab-scale, the continuous synthesis of diazo acetonitrile (DA…
Multi-Criteria Shape Optimization of Flow Fields for Electrochemical Cells
Sebastian Blauth, Marco Baldan, Sebastian Osterroth +7
We consider the shape optimization of flow fields for electrochemical cells. Our goal is to improve the cell by modifying the shape of its flow field. To do so, we introduce simula…
Topology Optimization for Uniform Flow Distribution in Electrolysis Cells
Leon Baeck, Sebastian Blauth, Christian Leithäuser +2
In this paper we consider the topology optimization for a bipolar plate of a hydrogen electrolysis cell. We present a model for the bipolar plate using the Stokes equation with an…
