Productive Symbiosis: Design of a productive landscape contributing to recreational value and an ecologically healthy and continuous habitat for people and wildlife

In this thesis project, a landscape architectural framework is made for a selected site in the Parkstad Limburg region. The design proposal for this region serves as a possible outcome of this framework, based on design principles and generic objectives. Parkstad Limburg used to be a wealthy region due to the thriving mining industry. The...

White water modeling - Feasibility of numerical simulation methods in design of white water canoe courses

Wildwaterkanoen, raften en andere sporten in snelstromend water worden door steeds meer mensen beoefend. Overal in de wereld worden de laatste jaren kunstmatige wildwater kanobanen aangelegd nabij bevolkingscentra. Dit vermindert de reistijd en de druk op natuurgebieden. Voomaamste voordelen zijn dat het gehele jaar door getraind kan worden en...

The influence of intermediate compounds on the solidification behaviour of heavy constituents in hyperbaric reservoir model fluids

During recent years numerous discoveries of oil and gas accumulations at unusual high reservoir depth have been made. As a result of this unusual depth these reservoirs show some features different from most oil and gas fields. The so-called hyperbaric reservoirs might exhibit pressures over 100 MPa, reservoir temperatures up to 470 K, and a...

The capabilities of various equations of state to model the fluid phase behaviour of asymmetric systems at elevated pressures: A "state of the art" compilation with possible targetting for modifications

Equations of state are widely used for simulating and designing chemical processes for estimating system properties. If they are extended to mixtures, equations of state provide a useful tool for estimating PVT-properties and correlating phase equilibrium data. Traditionally, activity coefficient models were used to calculate phase equilibria at...
