Weight Estimation of Gas Turbine Engines: Development of a Component-Based Preliminary Engine Design Tool

The need for more efficient aircraft has spawned the conception of a variety of novel engine and aircraft architectures, such as the combined-cycle engine proposed by researchers at Delft University of Technology. To evaluate the potential benefits of these concepts comprehensively, in-depth performance simulations are required. Furthermore,...

Structural reuse of wind turbine blades through segmentation

Composite materials offer many advantages during the use phase, but recovery at the end of a lifecycle remains a challenge. Structural reuse, where an end of life product is segmented into construction elements, may be a promising alternative. However, composites are often used in large, complex shaped products with optimised material...

Ceramic Nanofiltration Setup: Design and Upscale

The ceramic Nanofiltration membranes are studied in TU Delft to treat the brine. It has abilities to concentrate NOM and separate it from salts, and chemical precipitation to recover a clean solution with regeneration salt (i.e., NaCl) from the membrane permeate.For achieving this, the first step should build up the Setup. Therefore, this...
