Smit, B. (author)A new type of polymeric artificial muscle was recently discovered. This muscle is based on twisted and coiled polymer fiber and is actuated thermally. It has interesting properties, such as low costs and high work densities. Based on fabrication methods, two variations can be considered. The autocoiled variation has a larger load capacity and...master thesis 2016

Smit, S.H.H.J. (author)A new method for capturing solar energy is proposed for a Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant with supercritical CO2 (s-CO2) as a working fluid. The idea is to disperse a low volume fraction of nanoparticles in s-CO2, that functions as a heat transfer fluid in a volumetric solar receiver and as a working fluid in a power cycle. The advantage of...master thesis 2016

Smit, A.A.J. (author)To remove rocks from objects at the seabed, a mass flow jet could be the solution. The knowledge on the jet production is very scarse for larger particles (larger than 1.5mm). This knowledge starts with a good model for the erosion velocity of grains. Nowadays, only models are validated up to a mean particle diameter of 1.5mm. To give a better...master thesis 2015

Smit, G.J.A. (author)In 2005 Shell introduced the first monopile satellite platform with the aim to reduce the capital expenditure required for offshore wells. Currently there are 6 of these platforms installed in the Southern North Sea managed by Shell. The main functions of these platforms are to house the wellheads and divert produced hydrocarbons into a subsea...master thesis 2015

Smit, R.C.A. (author)The lifetime of geothermal projects mainly depends on the thermal breakthrough (thermal breakthrough occurs when a cold water front reaches the producer). Currently, geothermal-energy production is marginally economical because of its uncertainties and risks associated with the subsurface such as lifetime, flow rate, temperature. Lifetime of a...master thesis 2012
