Balvalli, P. (author)The desorption step of the carbon dioxide absorption/desorption process is an extremely energy intensive process, which accounts for approximately 70% of operating cost according to Mofarahi et al. [2008]. Technip-ECN has proposed a solution of Heat integrated distillation column which will be adapted for the absorption process. In order to...master thesis 2017

Azzopardi, M. (author)There appears to be something of a perfect storm on the horizon with a sense of drive and changing demand from consumers. The urge to act now mainly revolts around resilience to adapt well in the face of adversity. Fuel cells are a revolutionary technology which can be used as energy conversion devices for distributed combined heat and power...master thesis 2017

Monchen, G. (author)Adaptive Optics (AO) play an essential role in the field of astronomical seeing for ground-based telescopes, providing a corrected image from the disturbance caused by the light having to travel through the turbulent atmosphere of our Earth. To provide us with more detailed images, the sizes of these telescopes are getting increasingly larger....master thesis 2017

van de Leijgraaf, M. (author)Clients and vessel manufacturers are always looking for ways to increase the performance of their fleet. Therefore, a novel modelling strategy for the propulsion plant of naval vessels is explored here. This has been done by using the Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) framework. On one hand, a non-linear description is needed to fully understand...master thesis 2017

Prins, P.J. (author)Experiments in a closed-cycle cryostat suffer from vibrations caused by its pulse tube. To reduce this disturbance, a vibration isolator needs to be placed inside the cryostat. Since mechanical dampers do not work in a cryogenic environment, it requires active damping. This thesis is about the design of a controller for such an active vibration...master thesis 2017

Mank, A.B. (author)To reduce the mortality rate of sepsis, treatment needs to be started as soon as possible. One should however first be sure about the occurrence of sepsis. Currently, the suspicion of sepsis in premature infants is based on non-specific physiological changes. The detection of alterations in the inter-heartbeat interval preceding sepsis can offer...master thesis 2017

Brouwer, I.N. (author)Sealing constructions are frequently used in reusable instruments to prevent the loss of fluids or gasses in a construction by obstructing flow through the glands in the interface of two or more separate parts, and may be applied to seal patients' body fluids. Patient material contains various types of microorganisms, and with the increase of...master thesis 2017

Den Hertog, C. (author)The subject of this master thesis is related to the passive suction under mud mats. Mud mats are used in the offshore industry to prevent structures from sinking in the soil after installation. If for some reason a structure has to be lifted, on the one side due to an installation error, on the other side due to removal the force needed to lift...master thesis 2017

Kox, R.H.J. (author)Introduction: Diarrhoea is currently the second major cause of child mortality, which mostly affects children in developing countries. Dehydration is the major risk involved with diarrhoea, which is therefore the actual cause of death in most cases. Currently there are no cheap and reliable methods for assessing dehydration, while dehydration...master thesis 2017

De Hoogt, I. (author)Electricity can not be stored efficiently in the grid, resulting in a need for demand and supply to be in balance. The Transmission System Operator operates a real-time electricity market to acquire extra supply or load. Traditionally, electricity usage is forecast as accurately as possible a day ahead and deviations from this electricity...master thesis 2017

Burger, R. (author)The current ship speed prediction at a given fuel consumption shows large differences with the actual operational values for the Happy Star. This can result in schedule fines, unexpected fuel expenditures and difficulties in bunker schedules. The first goal of this research is to improve these predictions for the expected range of weather...master thesis 2017
