Review and award: 11th International Conference on Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow (HTFF 2024) and Best Paper Award Winner
From August 22 to 24, 2024, the 11th International Conference on Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow (HTFF 2024) took place in Barcelona, which together with three other conferences forms the 10th World Congress on Mechanical, Chemical, and Material Engineering (MCM'24). This event is one of the most important international conferences in the fields of mechanical engineering, chemistry and materials science. The event brought together leading researchers, engineers and scientists from around the world to present and discuss the latest advances and technologies in these key areas of engineering.
A special highlight for our team at the Chair of Energy Process Engineering was the award for one of our Research Associates. Dipl.-Ing. Montadhar Guesmi's paper entitled"Flow Pattern Prediction in the Cooling Circuit of the PEM-Electrolysis using Machine Learning" was recognized as the Best Paper Award Winner.
His work is dedicated to a highly topical subject: PEM electrolysis (proton exchange membrane electrolysis) plays a decisive role in hydrogen production, which is considered a key technology for the energy transition. The use of machine learning has made it possible to make more precise predictions about the flow regimes in the cooling circuit of PEM electrolysis. These findings contribute toincreasing efficiency and optimizing the electrolysis process - an essential step on the way to sustainable energy processes.
The award at HTFF 2024 shows the high relevance of this research and underlines the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation in the field of energy process engineering. Every year, the conference provides a valuable platform to present such groundbreaking work to an international audience and promote scientific exchange.
We are proud of this success and congratulate Mr. Guesmi! This award once again confirms the commitment and innovative strength of our research at EVT in one of the key areas of energy technology.
