Abstract
In the lecture, current projects from the basic and applied research of the Chair of Technical Thermodynamics of the TU Dresden will be presented. These include the development of latent heat storage systems, the theoretical determination of material data for new refrigerant mixtures, the thermal management of asphalt roads, geothermal power generation with supercritical carbon dioxide, the development of composite materials for adsorption refrigeration machines, and the theoretical determination of transport variables in new interactive fiber composites.
