Ruig, Nina (author)The implications of a CE and the transition towards it are widely researched. However, there is a lack of research into the relevant geographical scales of CE. Thus, this research aims to present a framework that identifies the optimal geographical scale for the recycling of materials based on various factors. The framework is tested against a...master thesis 2022

Schot, Rick (author)Heavy-duty trucks (HDTs) are a significant contributor to global anthropogenic carbon emissions. In contrary to passenger cars, HDTs have to cope with decarbonization complications due to range and weight characteristics. Overhead catenary electric road systems (ERS-OC) can aid in decarbonizing this sector. Here, trucks are equipped with a...master thesis 2022

Bronkhorst, Erné (author)Trolleybus systems can be a sustainable replacement for regular diesel powered busses. The sustainability of these systems can be further improved by storage systems that recuperate the braking energy of the buses and feed it at a later point. By strategically placing the storage system, the transmission losses in the grid can also be reduced....master thesis 2021

Bruins Slot, Hilco (author), Nugteren, Alex (author), van Rie, Victor (author), Nota, Hugo (author), Overgaauw, Tim (author), van der Heide, Niels (author)This report is written with the aim to evaluate a possible port expansion in the port of San Vicente, Chile. In order to achieve this a thorough analysis on the port operations, hydrodynamical analysis using Delft3D and a bottleneck analysis on the infrastructure have been executed. A preliminary design for the port expansion is created. This...student report 2020

Chotkan, S.A. (author), Esmeijer, M. (author), Goerdat, R.B.S. (author), Hendriks, O. (author), Stolp, T. (author)This report considers a possible port expansion in port of Scheveningen, The Netherlands. The problems considered are brought forwards in the plans introduced by Dr. Ir. Waterman and are tackled from multiple disciplines. These problems relate to the recharge of the freshwater-lens, reachability of the port, flood protection of the Tweede Haven,...student report 2020

van Son, Kees (author), van Zwieteren, Raymond (author), Besier, Jorick (author), Robbertsen, Niels (author), van Hees, Simon (author), van der Storm, Geraldine (author)Due to a global increase in food consumption and shipping, and regional developments like exploitation of the Vaca Muerta oil field, the port of Bahía Blanca in Argentina sees an opportunity to increase its activities. Therefore, a new container terminal will be constructed in the port of Bahía Blanca that can handle 500,000 TEU per year. This...student report 2020

Akershoek, Rob (author)The aim of this thesis is to analyze if a fully electric super yacht is feasible, desirable and viable. This is done using a “research by design” approach using the current (and future) drivers, enablers and barriers to design a concept.<br/><br/>First, a vision is developed using the ViP (Vision in Product design) method, in order to create a...master thesis 2018

van der Zee, Menno (author)Privately owned cars are an unsustainable mode of transportation, especially in cities. New Mobility on Demand (MoD) services should offer a convenient and sustainable alternative to privately owned cars. Notable in this field is the recent uprise of ride-sharing services such as offered by companies like Uber and Grab. Such services, especially...master thesis 2018

Pennings, Stijn (author)A biopsy is a type of diagnostic medical test, which consists of extracting sample tissue for examination to determine the presence, cause, or extent of a disease. Most commonly, biopsies are used to investigate cancerous or inflammatory conditions. For context of this design study, breast biopsies were chosen as an area of interest. Rather than...master thesis 2018

Potma, Olivier (author)Seals are used throughout the technology spectrum to prevent products form leaving their container or preventing foreign products to enter. With the sealing of rotary parts like shafts the seal needs to not only provide sealing capabilities, but also simultaneously allow for the desired movement without too much friction or wear. This is often...master thesis 2017

Jiang, Kaixuan (author)This study introduces a new concept of ATES system, which is called ATEST system, to fulfill the transport function while crossing the barriers in water transmission and pipe replacements. Firstly, analytical models were used to help understand the physical process and range the working conditions of the ATEST system. Then numerical models were...master thesis 2017

WU, Ivan (author)Feasibility study of Dutch concept of deep geological repository for radioactive waste is at present widely conducted in the Netherlands. In this project, transport properties of selenate ion in clay materials were investigated. Apparent diffusion coefficients of selenate ion were obtained as results. To study possible alternations of Boom Clay...master thesis 2017

Van Min, M.L.M. (author)Research. World’s population is increasingly urban with more than half living in urban areas. Cities will keep growing, they will become increasingly polluted and gridlocked, damaging inhabitants’ health and making it hard for them to get around. Mobility is one of the key-drivers for creating a livable future city because the urban lay-out is...master thesis 2017

De Hoog, E. (author)This MSc study was conducted to study the deposit limit velocity in inclined pipes and vertical S-bends for gravel sized material. This knowledge can be applied in deep sea mining, specifically for the design of inclined sections and a fexible vertical S-shaped bend at the bottom of the main hydraulic riser. This knowledge can naturally also be...master thesis 2016

Toorneman, A.C. (author)Introduction into the subject: ?Over the last years, more Dutch citizens have been travelling around the world and unfortunately this leads to more Dutch patients in hospitals in far away countries. This results in more requests by Dutch patients to be repatriated (transported back home) by airplane. Some of these patients are intensive care (IC...master thesis 2016
