Benjamin Rahimian – Master thesis – Supervisor Melis Özdemir

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Process Engineering at TUHH. My main research interest lies in multiphase systems, particularly the hydrodynamics and transport processes in gas-solid and gas-liquid systems. At the Institute of Process Imaging, I investigate vibrated fluidized beds regarding structured flow patterns, which are promising in enhancing the predictability and scale-up of fluidized bed hydrodynamics.

Fin Conje – Master thesis – Supervisor Hannah Rennebaum

My work mainly concentrates on the investigation and measurement of liquid distributions in distillation columns using integral experiments and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The measurements are carried out within a water-air system, with a focus on studying the impact of various column internals on the liquid distribution within the column cross-section. The column has been optimized for measurements in a vertical MRI system.

Kim Meyer – Master thesis – Supervisor Hannah Rennebaum

The objective of my research is to examine the hydrodynamics within a pseudo-2D fluidized bed utilising Particle Image Velocimetry. In preparation for the investigation of fluidizied beds via Magnetic Resonance Imaging, the impact of doping with contrast agents on the magnetic resonance properties of seeds is analysed. Gaining insight into the hydrodynamics is crucial for the industrial application of fluidized beds, as it enables the definition and optimisation of operating conditions.

Zohra Ahmadzai – Master thesis – Supervisor Melis Özdemir

My research focuses on the dynamics of vibrated fluidized beds, with an emphasis on understanding their hydrodynamic behavior. This includes the time series analysis of pressure signals to investigate bubble properties and flow characteristics under varying vibration conditions. A comparative study will be conducted between vibrated pseudo-2D and three-dimensional fluidized beds to identify similarities and differences in their behavior. These analyses aim to enhance the understanding of gas-solid interactions and improve the design and operation of fluidized bed systems.
