Head: Univ.Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Hermann Hofbauer

Scientific work (experimental and modelling) of:

• fluid dynamics
• heat and mass transfer and
• chemical reactions

for

• reactor design
• process design
• process optimization

of processes in the areas of

• energy technology (combustion, gasification, pyrolysis)
• refinery technology (catalytic cracking)
• environmental technology (NO_x, SO₂, other emissions)
• metallurgy (iron ore reduction, blast furnace)

especially using fluidized bed technology with regards to scale-up and industrial applications as well as the development of suitable supporting methods.
