The joint annual meeting of the DECHEMA Division of Fluid Process Engineering and Heat and Mass Transfer took place from 9-11 March 2026 at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland. In addition to professor Julia Riese, Tobias Thelen, Viola Hollenhorst, Alkim Boz and Dr Nicole Lutters also took part. We presented our current research work in the field of fluid process engineering at Paderborn University in two presentations and on two posters. The poster of our alumnus Patrick Franke was presented by Dr Nicole Lutters.
Lectures:
Tobias Thelen: "Latent heat storage for industrial applications: Characterisation of a lab-scale unit".
Viola Hollenhorst: "Investigation of Surface Roughness Effects on Flow Patterns and Thermal Performance in Additively Manufactured Channels".
Poster:
Alkim Boz: "Integration of Direct Electric Heating with 3D-Printed Packings in Separation Columns".
Patrick Franke: "Identification of multiple steady states in reactive absorption columns equipped with structured packings".
