The general method of topological reduction for the network problems is presented on example of gas transport networks. The method is based on a contraction of series, parallel and tree-like subgraphs for the element equations of quadratic, power law and general monotone dependencies. The method allows to reduce significantly the complexity of the graph and to accelerate the solution procedure for stationary network problems. The method has been tested on a large set of realistic network scenarios. Possible extensions of the method have been described, including triangulated element equations, continuation of the equations at infinity, providing uniqueness of solution, a choice of Newtonian stabilizer for nearly degenerated systems. The method is applicable for various sectors in the field of energetics, including gas networks, water networks, electric networks, as well as for coupling of different sectors.
Technik wird in unserer Gesellschaft noch immer mit Männlichkeit assoziiert. Das Bild eines Mannes, der mit einer schweren Bohrmaschine arbeitet, erscheint uns vertrauter als das einer Frau, die dieselbe Tätigkeit ausführt. Derartige Repräsentationen von Technik und Geschlecht werden auch von den Medien verbreitet und könnten so bereits Mädchen und jungen Frauen den Zugang zu Technik erschweren. Digitalisierte Medienwelten bieten allerdings die Möglichkeit, neue Technik-Bilder zu entwerfen und dominante Vorstellungen dadurch zu verschieben. Hier könnten Öffentlichkeiten für Mädchen und Frauen entstehen, die eine Selbstverständigung über technische Interessen und damit einhergehend eine Erfahrung von Kompetenz vermitteln könnten. Anhand von fünf Gruppendiskussionen mit 12- bis 15-jährigen Gymnasiastinnen wurden deren Technikverständnis, deren Nutzung digitaler Medien zu Technikthemen, vor allem aber auch deren Ideen zu einer für sie attraktiven Vermittlung von Technikthemen erfragt. Dabei wurden insbesondere die Vorteile einer symmetrischen Kommunikation im Netz deutlich.
This dataset contains data from two measurement campaigns in autumn 2018 and summer 2019 that were part of the BMWi project "MetPVNet", and serve as a supplement to the paper "Dynamic model of photovoltaic module temperature as a function of atmospheric conditions", published in the special edition of "Advances in Science and Research", the proceedings of the 19th EMS Annual Meeting: European Conference for Applied Meteorology and Climatology 2019.
Data are resampled to one minute, and include:

The data were used for the dynamic temperature model, as presented in the paper
This work thoroughly investigates a semi-Lagrangian lattice Boltzmann (SLLBM) solver for compressible flows. In contrast to other LBM for compressible flows, the vertices are organized in cells, and interpolation polynomials up to fourth order are used to attain the off-vertex distribution function values. Differing from the recently introduced Particles on Demand (PoD) method , the method operates in a static, non-moving reference frame. Yet the SLLBM in the present formulation grants supersonic flows and exhibits a high degree of Galilean invariance. The SLLBM solver allows for an independent time step size due to the integration along characteristics and for the use of unusual velocity sets, like the D2Q25, which is constructed by the roots of the fifth-order Hermite polynomial. The properties of the present model are shown in diverse example simulations of a two-dimensional Taylor-Green vortex, a Sod shock tube, a two-dimensional Riemann problem and a shock-vortex interaction. It is shown that the cell-based interpolation and the use of Gauss-Lobatto-Chebyshev support points allow for spatially high-order solutions and minimize the mass loss caused by the interpolation. Transformed grids in the shock-vortex interaction show the general applicability to non-uniform grids.
This paper addresses long-term historical changes in solar irradiance in West Africa (3 to 20° N and 20° W to 16° E) and the implications for photovoltaic systems. Here, we use satellite irradiance (Surface Solar Radiation Data Set – Heliosat, Edition 2.1 – SARAH-2.1) and temperature data from a reanalysis (ERA5) to derive photovoltaic yields. Based on 35 years of data (1983–2017), the temporal and regional variability as well as long-term trends in global and direct horizontal irradiance are analyzed. Furthermore, a detailed time series analysis is undertaken at four locations. According to the high spatial resolution SARAH-2.1 data record (0.05°×0.05°), solar irradiance is largest (up to a 300 W m−2 daily average) in the Sahara and the Sahel zone with a positive trend (up to 5 W m−2 per decade) and a lower temporal variability (<75 W m−2 between 1983 and 2017 for daily averages). In contrast, the solar irradiance is lower in southern West Africa (between 200 W m−2 and 250 W m−2) with a negative trend (up to −5 W m−2 per decade) and a higher temporal variability (up to 150 W m−2). The positive trend in the north is mostly connected to the dry season, whereas the negative trend in the south occurs during the wet season. Both trends show 95 % significance. Photovoltaic (PV) yields show a strong meridional gradient with the lowest values of around 4 kWh kWp−1 in southern West Africa and values of more than 5.5 kWh kWp−1 in the Sahara and Sahel zone.
Alkaline methanol oxidation is an important electrochemical process in the design of efficient fuel cells. Typically, a system of ordinary differential equations is used to model the kinetics of this process. The fitting of the parameters of the underlying mathematical model is performed on the basis of different types of experiments, characterizing the fuel cell. In this paper, we describe generic methods for creation of a mathematical model of electrochemical kinetics from a given reaction network, as well as for identification of parameters of this model. We also describe methods for model reduction, based on a combination of steady-state and dynamical descriptions of the process. The methods are tested on a range of experiments, including different concentrations of the reagents and different voltage range.

Long-term variability of solar irradiance and its implications for photovoltaic power in West Africa
(2020)
This paper addresses long-term changes in solar irradiance for West Africa (3° N to 20° N and 20° W to 16° E) and its implications for photovoltaic power systems. Here we use satellite irradiance (Surface Solar Radiation Data Set-Heliosat, Edition 2.1, SARAH-2.1) to derive photovoltaic yields. Based on 35 years of data (1983–2017) the temporal and regional variability as well as long-term trends of global and direct horizontal irradiance are analyzed. Furthermore, at four locations a detailed time series analysis is undertaken. The dry and the wet season are considered separately.
Long-term variability of solar irradiance and its implications for photovoltaic power in West Africa
(2020)
West Africa is one of the least developed regions in the world regarding the energy availability and energy security. Located close to the equator West Africa receives high amounts of global horizontal irradiance (GHI). Thus, solar power and especially photovoltaic (PV) systems seem to be a promising solution to provide electricity with low environmental impact. To plan and to dimension a PV power system climatological data for global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and its variability need to be taken into account. However, ground based measurements of irradiances are not available continuously and cover only a few discrete locations.
Turbulent compressible flows are traditionally simulated using explicit Eulerian time integration applied to the Navier-Stokes equations. However, the associated Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy condition severely restricts the maximum time step size. Exploiting the Lagrangian nature of the Boltzmann equation's material derivative, we now introduce a feasible three-dimensional semi-Lagrangian lattice Boltzmann method (SLLBM), which elegantly circumvents this restriction. Previous lattice Boltzmann methods for compressible flows were mostly restricted to two dimensions due to the enormous number of discrete velocities needed in three dimensions. In contrast, this Rapid Communication demonstrates how cubature rules enhance the SLLBM to yield a three-dimensional velocity set with only 45 discrete velocities. Based on simulations of a compressible Taylor-Green vortex we show that the new method accurately captures shocks or shocklets as well as turbulence in 3D without utilizing additional filtering or stabilizing techniques, even when the time step sizes are up to two orders of magnitude larger compared to simulations in the literature. Our new method therefore enables researchers for the first time to study compressible turbulent flows by a fully explicit scheme, whose range of admissible time step sizes is only dictated by physics, while being decoupled from the spatial discretization.
Fundamental hydrogen storage properties of TiFe-alloy with partial substitution of Fe by Ti and Mn
(2020)
TiFe intermetallic compound has been extensively studied, owing to its low cost, good volumetric hydrogen density, and easy tailoring of hydrogenation thermodynamics by elemental substitution. All these positive aspects make this material promising for large-scale applications of solid-state hydrogen storage. On the other hand, activation and kinetic issues should be amended and the role of elemental substitution should be further understood. This work investigates the thermodynamic changes induced by the variation of Ti content along the homogeneity range of the TiFe phase (Ti:Fe ratio from 1:1 to 1:0.9) and of the substitution of Mn for Fe between 0 and 5 at.%. In all considered alloys, the major phase is TiFe-type together with minor amounts of TiFe2 or \b{eta}-Ti-type and Ti4Fe2O-type at the Ti-poor and rich side of the TiFe phase domain, respectively. Thermodynamic data agree with the available literature but offer here a comprehensive picture of hydrogenation properties over an extended Ti and Mn compositional range. Moreover, it is demonstrated that Ti-rich alloys display enhanced storage capacities, as long as a limited amount of \b{eta}-Ti is formed. Both Mn and Ti substitutions increase the cell parameter by possibly substituting Fe, lowering the plateau pressures and decreasing the hysteresis of the isotherms. A full picture of the dependence of hydrogen storage properties as a function of the composition will be discussed, together with some observed correlations.
Der Beitrag untersucht, wie ein Präsenzlabor durch ein Remote-Labor ergänzt undersetzt werden kann. Dazu wird das Laborpraktikum Digitaltechnik der Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg betrachtet, bei dem ein Remote-Labor Flexibilität bei der Versuchsdurchführung bietet und Versuche ermöglicht, die allein mit dem Präsenzlabor nicht möglich wären. Neben der Ergänzung der Präsenzversuche können Studie-rende das Praktikum auch komplett im Remote-Labor durchführen. Durch klare Anforderungen an die Erteilung eines Testats ist dies sowohl für sie als auch für Lehrende praktikabel zu handhaben. Rückmeldungen der Studierenden und Nutzungszahlen belegen die Akzeptanz des Remote-Labors. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Studierenden sehr heterogen mit dem Remote-Labor umgehen: Einige von ihnen nutzen das Remote-Labor als zusätzliche Praktikumszeit für Versuche die auch im Präsenzlabor möglich wären; andere nutzen es als Erweiterung der Praktikumsmöglichkeit für Versuche, die nur im Remote-Labor möglich sind und wieder andere arbeiten intensiv im Remote-Labor und reichen auch das Praktikumsprotokoll elektronisch ein. Für Lehrende besteht über das Protokoll und die Auswertung der Nutzungsdaten ausreichende Sicherheit, um aktive Beteiligung am Praktikum zu testieren.
In recent years, a plethora of observations with high spectral resolution of sub-millimetre and far-infrared transitions of methylidene (CH), conducted with Herschel and SOFIA, have demonstrated this radical to be a valuable proxy for molecular hydrogen that can be used for characterising molecular gas within the interstellar medium on a Galactic scale, including the CO-dark component. We report the discovery of the 13CH isotopologue in the interstellar medium using the upGREAT receiver on board SOFIA. We have detected the three hyperfine structure components of the ≈2 THz frequency transition from its X2Π1∕2 ground-state towards the high-mass star-forming regions Sgr B2(M), G34.26+0.15, W49(N), and W51E and determined 13CH column densities. The ubiquity of molecules containing carbon in the interstellar medium has turned the determination of the ratio between the abundances of the two stable isotopes of carbon, 12C/13C, into a cornerstone for Galactic chemical evolution studies. Whilst displaying a rising gradient with galactocentric distance, this ratio, when measured using observations of different molecules (CO, H2CO, and others), shows systematic variations depending on the tracer used. These observed inconsistencies may arise from optical depth effects, chemical fractionation, or isotope-selective photo-dissociation. Formed from C+ either through UV-driven or turbulence-driven chemistry, CH reflects the fractionation of C+, and does not show any significant fractionation effects, unlike other molecules that were previously used to determine the 12C/13C isotopic ratio. This makes it an ideal tracer for the 12C/13C ratio throughout the Galaxy. By comparing the derived column densities of 13CH with previously obtained SOFIA data of the corresponding transitions of the main isotopologue 12CH, we therefore derive 12C/13C isotopic ratios toward Sgr B2(M), G34.26+0.15, W49(N) and W51E. Adding our values derived from 12∕13CH to previous calculations of the Galactic isotopic gradient, we derive a revised value of 12C/13C = 5.87(0.45)RGC + 13.25(2.94).

The temperature of photovoltaic modules is modelled as a dynamic function of ambient temperature, shortwave and longwave irradiance and wind speed, in order to allow for a more accurate characterisation of their efficiency. A simple dynamic thermal model is developed by extending an existing parametric steady-state model using an exponential smoothing kernel to include the effect of the heat capacity of the system. The four parameters of the model are fitted to measured data from three photovoltaic systems in the Allgäu region in Germany using non-linear optimisation. The dynamic model reduces the root-mean-square error between measured and modelled module temperature to 1.58 K on average, compared to 3.03 K for the steady-state model, whereas the maximum instantaneous error is reduced from 20.02 to 6.58 K.
Design ist allgegenwärtig - es durchtränkt gleichsam das Leben, oftmals unbewusst, doch immer durchscheinend und folgenhaft. Es ist Bestandteil des Habitus und unverzichtbarer Teil einer jeden Identität. Selbst im bewussten Verzicht auf Design kommt eine spezifische Designästhetik zum Ausdruck, die anders sein möchte. Doch welche Normierungen greifen hier und dienen als Orientierung für Absetzbewegungen? Dies zeigt sich vor allem in der Prägung durch massenmediale Diskurse. Die Beiträge des Bandes entwickeln zu diesem zentralen Dispositiv einen theoretischen wie praktischen Rahmen und reflektieren Indikatoren für entsprechende Leistungen. (Verlagsangaben)
