Major elements of the Passivhaus concept are a high thermal insulation of the external walls, the use of heat and/or solar shading glazing as well as an airtight building envelope in combination with energy-efficient technical building installations and heating or cooling generators, such as an efficient energy-recovery in the building air-conditioning. The objective of this research project is the inquiry to determine the parameters or constraints under which the Passivhaus concept can be implemented under the arid climate conditions in the Arabian Peninsula to achieve an energy-efficient and economical building with high utilization comfort. In cooperation between the Qatar Green Building Council (QGBC), Barwa Real Estate (BRE) and Kahramaa the first Passivhaus was constructed in Qatar and on the Arabian Peninsula in 2013. The Solar-Institut J{\"u}lich of Aachen University of Applied Science supports the Qatar Green Building Council with a dynamic building and equipment simulation of the Passivhaus and the neighbouring reference building. This includes simulation studies with different component configurations for the building envelope and different control strategies for heating or cooling systems as well as the air conditioning of buildings to find an energetic-economical optimum. Part of these analyses is the evaluation of the energy efficiency of the used energy recovery system in the Passivhaus air-conditioning and identification of possible energy-saving effects by the use of a bypass function integrated in the heat exchanger. In this way it is expected that on an annual basis the complete electricity demand of the building can be covered by the roof-integrated PV generator.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AnthrakidisHerrmannSchornetal.2015, author = {Anthrakidis, Anette and Herrmann, Ulf and Schorn, Christian and Schwarzer, Klemens and Wedding, Philipp and Weis, Fabian}, title = {Development and Testing of a Novel Method for the Determination of the Efficiency of Concentrating Solar Thermal Collectors}, series = {Conference Proceedings Solar World Congress 2015, Daegu, Korea, 08 - 12 November 2015}, booktitle = {Conference Proceedings Solar World Congress 2015, Daegu, Korea, 08 - 12 November 2015}, pages = {9 Seiten}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{AlKaidyDuweHusteretal.2015, author = {Al-Kaidy, Huschyar and Duwe, Anna and Huster, Manuel and Muffler, Kai and Schlegel, Christin and Tim, Sieker and Stadtm{\"u}ller, Ralf and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils and Ulber, Roland}, title = {Biotechnology and bioprocess engineering - from the first ullmann's article to recent trends}, series = {ChemBioEng Reviews}, volume = {2}, journal = {ChemBioEng Reviews}, number = {3}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, doi = {10.1002/cben.201500008}, pages = {175 -- 184}, year = {2015}, abstract = {For several thousand years, biotechnology and its associated technical processes have had a great impact on the development of mankind.

Many empirical formulas in the literature used for the hydraulic design of river training measures and structures have been developed using experimental data from the laboratory. Although computer capacities have increased to a high level which allows to run complex numerical simulations on standard workstation nowadays, non-standard design of structures may still raise the need to perform physical model investigations. These investigations deliver insight into details of flow patterns and the effect of varying boundary conditions. Data from hydraulic model tests may be used for calibration of numerical models as well. As the field of hydraulic modeling is very complex, this chapter intends to give a short overview on capacities and limits of hydraulic modeling in regard to river flows and hydraulic structures only. The reader shall get a first idea of modeling principles and basic considerations.

In the present work, polymer-modified electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (PMEIS) sensors have been applied for monitoring an enzymatically catalyzed degradation of polymers for the first time. The thin films of biodegradable polymer poly(d,l-lactic acid) and enzyme lipase were used as a model system. During degradation, the sensors were read-out by means of impedance spectroscopy. In order to interpret the data obtained from impedance measurements, an electrical equivalent circuit model was developed. In addition, morphological investigations of the polymer surface have been performed by means of in situ atomic force microscopy. The sensor signal change, which reflects the progress of degradation, indicates an accelerated degradation in the presence of the enzyme compared to hydrolysis in neutral pH buffer media. The degradation rate increases with increasing enzyme concentration. The obtained results demonstrate the potential of PMEIS sensors as a very promising tool for in situ and real-time monitoring of degradation of polymers.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OertelBalmesBung2015, author = {Oertel, Mario and Balmes, Jan P. and Bung, Daniel Bernhard}, title = {Numerical simulation of erosion processes on crossbar block ramps}, series = {E-proceedings of the 36th IAHR World Congress 28 June - 3 July, 2015, The Hague, the Netherlands}, booktitle = {E-proceedings of the 36th IAHR World Congress 28 June - 3 July, 2015, The Hague, the Netherlands}, organization = {IAHR World Congress <36, 2015, Den Haag>}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2015}, language = {en} }
