Ghatak, K.P. (author), Bhattacharya, S. (author), Bhowmik, S. (author), Benedictus, R. (author), Choudhury, S. (author)We study the Einstein relation for the diffusivity to mobility ratio (DMR) in quantum wires (QWs) of III-V, ternary, and quaternary materials in the presence of light waves, whose unperturbed energy band structures are defined by the three band model of Kane. It has been found, taking n-InAs, n-InSb, n-Hg1?xCdxTe, n-In1?xGaxAsyP1?y lattice...journal article 2008

Gillissen, J.J.J. (author), Boersma, B.J. (author), Mortensen, P.H. (author), Andersson, H.I. (author)Turbulent fiber suspension channel flow is studied using direct numerical simulation. The effect of the fibers on the fluid mechanics is governed by a stress tensor, involving the distribution of fiber position and orientation. Properties of this function in channel flow are studied by computing the trajectories and orientations of individual...journal article 2007

Prinsen, P. (author), Odijk, T. (author)A theory is presented for ?C, the coefficient of the first-order correction in the density of the collective diffusion coefficient, for protein spheres interacting by electrostatic and adhesive forces. An extensive numerical analysis of the Stokesian hydrodynamics of two moving spheres is given so as to gauge the precise impact of lubrication...journal article 2007

Porfírio Ferreira, A.F. (author)Branched hydrocarbons are preferred to linear hydrocarbons as ingredients in petrol, as they enhance the fuel octane number. By catalytic isomerisation linear hydrocarbons are converted into branched hydrocarbons, then it becomes necessary to separate the mixture. A variety of zeolites may be used for this purpose, either on thermodynamics or...doctoral thesis 2007

Van Hijkoop, V.J. (author), Dammers, A.J. (author), Malek, K. (author), Coppens, M.O. (author)Water diffusion through OmpF, a porin in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli, is studied by molecular dynamics simulation. A first passage time approach allows characterizing the diffusive properties of a well-defined region of this channel. A carbon nanotube, which is considerably more homogeneous, serves as a model to validate the...journal article 2007

Groen, J.C. (author)Zeolites are crystalline microporous materials consisting of silicon, aluminium and oxygen atoms. A unique combination of properties such as high surface area, high (hydro)thermal stability, and strong acidity, makes that zeolites are frequently used as catalysts in various (petro)chemical processes. The pores of molecular dimensions are...doctoral thesis 2007

Mazumder, S. (author)The mechanisms, by which the coal seams sorb, retain and store gases needs, to be understood. The results presented in this thesis give an insight into the dynamics of CO2 and other flue gas components in coal that are related to operation feasibility of ECBM projects. The main issues relate to the permeability behavior and the flue gas/ CO2...doctoral thesis 2007

Khan, I.M. (author), Gilbert, T. (author), Barigou, M. (author)The shape of the nozzle geometry is increasingly attractive in heating, ventilation and air conditioning applications. However an important consideration in the design of nozzle geometry is its effect on the dynamics of near flow field jet and to minimise the manufacturing cost for practical applications. In this investigation the effect of an...conference paper 2006

Jönsthövel, T.B. (author), Oosterlee, C.W. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)We evaluated multigrid techniques for 3D diffusive electromagnetism. The Maxwell equations and Ohm's law were discretised on stretched grids, with stretching in all coordinate directions. We compared standard multigrid to alternative multigrid approaches with linewise smoothing and semi-coarsening, both as a stand-alone solver and as a...conference paper 2006

Huang, R.W.J.M. (author), Chung, F. (author), Kelder, E.M. (author)We present a semimathematical model for the simulation of the impedance spectra of a rechargeable lithium batteries consisting of porous electrodes with spherical Li+ intercalation particles. The particles are considered to have two distinct homogeneous phases as a result of the intercalation and deintercalation of Li+ during charge and...journal article 2006

Van den Berg, A.W.C. (author)The feasibility of using zeolites, and more specifically the clathrasil subgroup, for hydrogen storage has been investigated by comparing their H2 loading rate and storage capacity to the technically required values. The uptake rate and capacity are determined by means of computational modelling for a large number of clathrasil structures. It...doctoral thesis 2006

Neeft, E.A.C. (author)Fission of actinides from nuclear waste in inert matrices (materials without uranium) can reduce the period in time that nuclear waste is more radiotoxic than uranium ore that is the rock from which ordinary reactor fuel is made. A pioneering study is performed with the inert matrices: MgO, MgAl2O4, Y3Al5O12, Y2O3 and CeO2-x. These inert...doctoral thesis 2004

Malek, K. (author), Coppens, M.O. (author)The effect of pore surface roughness on Knudsen diffusion in nanoporous media is investigated by dynamic Monte Carlo simulations and analytical calculations. A conceptual difference is found between the roughness dependence of the macroscopic, transport diffusivity and the microscopic, self-diffusivity, which is reminiscent of diffusion in...journal article 2003

Vermolen, F.J. (author), Vuik, C. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)This paper is a review of a suite of mathematical models of increasing complexity on particle dissolution in metallic alloys. This work deals with models for multi-component particle dissolution in multi-component alloys, where various chemical species diffuse simultaneously, and a two-dimensional model incorporating interfacial reactions as in...report 2002

Kaiser, C.T. (author)Up to a few years ago, muon spin rotation/relaxation (μSR [muonSR]) was used as a complementary technique in the study of magnetic intermetallic materials. Application of μSR [muonSR], however, covers a much wider range of scientific disciplines. A shift in scientific interest within the department away from metallic magnets, focused attention...doctoral thesis 2001

Vermolen, F.J. (author), Vuik, C. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author)A general model for the dissolution of stoichiometric particles in multi-component alloys is proposed and analysed. We introduce the concept of mass-conserving solutions and give a self-similar solution for the resulting Stefan-problem. Furthermore, we show that particle dissolution in multi-component alloys can under certain circumstances be...report 2001

Petit, H.A.H (author)In the following text an overview is given of numerical schemes which can be used to solve hyperbolic partial differential equations. The overview is far from extensive and the analysis of the schemes is limited to the application on the simplest hyperbolic equation conceivable, namely the so called 'one dimensional simple wave equation'. In...report 2001
