Invloed van de viscositeit en de grensvlakspanning op de (co-continue) structuurvorming: Invloed van degradatie van PP op de grensvlakspanning

Bij het samenvoegen van twee verschillende polymeren ontstaat meestal een heterogeen mengsel, waarbij de afzonderlijke componenten duidelijk te onderscheiden zijn. Er kan bijvoorbeeld een bolletjes/matrix- of vezels/matrix- dan wel een co-continue structuur ontstaan Een co-continue structuur is een structuur waarbij beide fasen doorverbonden ...

Study on the Design and Simulation of a High capacity transhipment terminal

The container traffic growth worldwide continues to increase. To keep up with the growth, shipping companies keep enlarging container ship size. The handling speed of the terminal will especially be a critical factor for the largest vessels. Terminals have to be able to serve these ships as best as possible. To keep the dwell time of the ships...

Large scale wavefront reconstruction for the next generation of Extreme Large Scale Telescopes (E-ELT)

The spatial resolution of an astronomical telescope is limited by either by the diffraction of light and the amount of aberrations caused in the atmosphere. To increase the diffraction limited resolution, the size of telescopes increases such as the to be build European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). To fully benefit from the increased...

Numerical simulation of the flow in a scour hole due to a translating jet.

Dredging is a very important activity for mankind, for example deepening waterways or creating artificial islands. The Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) is an important dredging vessel, this vessel uses the so called drag head. It is common practice to use water jets in drag heads to create a more efficient dredging process. Some...

Newspaper coverage of the Dutch nitrogen debate: Uncovering differences in framing and actor portrayal

In May 2019 the Dutch permit system for nitrogen deposition was taken down for not abiding by EU legislation, which resulted in a large debate surrounding nature conservation. I researched the manner in which various newspapers portray this debate to their respective readers, in order to create a better understanding of the communicational field...

The societal impact of different technical lay-outs of an energy hub

The Dutch government's "Green deal 173" increases the challenge of electrification of mobility. The "Green deal 173" states that city centres will be emission free as from 2025 and whole cities will be emission free as from 2050. Emission free cities are in need of electric buses in the city centres. Thus, the need for charging infrastructure...
