Yakaboylu, O. (author), Harinck, J. (author), Smit, K.G. (author), De Jong, W. (author)The supercritical water gasification process is an alternative to both conventional gasification as well as anaerobic digestion as it does not require drying and the process takes place at much shorter residence times; a few minutes at most. The drastic changes in the thermo-physical properties of water from the liquid state to the supercritical...journal article 2014

Smit, G. (author), Plettenburg, D.H. (author), Van der Helm, F.C. (author)The goal of this study was to find an efficient method of energy transmission for application in an anthropomorphic underactuated body-powered (BP) prosthetic hand. A pulley-cable finger and a hydraulic cylinder finger were designed and tested to compare the pulley-cable transmission principle with the hydraulic cylinder transmission principle....journal article 2014

Smit, P.B. (author), Janssen, T.T. (author)The interaction of ocean waves with variable currents and topography in coastal areas can result in inhomogeneous statistics because of coherent interferences, which affect wave-driven circulation and transport processes. Stochastic wave models, invariably based on some form of the radiative transfer equation (or action balance), do not account...journal article 2013

Smit, G. (author), Plettenburg, D.H. (author)Current articulating electric and body-powered hands have a lower pinch force (15–34 N) than electric hands with stiff fingers (55–100 N). The cosmetic glove, which covers a hand prosthesis, negatively affects the mechanical efficiency of a prosthesis. The goal of this study is to mechanically compare polyvinylchloride (PVC) and silicone...journal article 2013

Chevtchenko, O. (author), Zuijderduin, R. (author), Smit, J. (author), Willen, D. (author), Lentge, H. (author), Thidemann, C. (author), Traeholt, C. (author)Particulars of 6 km long HTS AC power cable for Amsterdam project are: a cable has to fit in an annulus of 160 mm, with only two cooling stations at the cable ends [1]. Application of existing solutions for HTS cables would result in excessively high coolant pressure drop in the cable, possibly affecting public acceptance of the project. In...journal article 2012

Zuijderduin, R. (author), Chevtchenko, O. (author), Smit, J.J. (author), Aanhaanen, G. (author), Melnik, I. (author), Geschiere, A. (author)Due to increasing power demand, the electricity grid of the Netherlands is changing. The future grid must be capable to transmit all the connected power. Power generation will be more decentralized like for instance wind parks connected to the grid. Furthermore, future large scale production units are expected to be installed near coastal...journal article 2012

Existing solutions for HTS cables would lead to excessively high coolant pressure drop in the cable, potentially affecting public acceptance of the project. A way out would be to substantially reduce AC losses from 1 down to about 0.1 W/m per phase...journal article 2012

(author)ue to increasing power demand, the electricity grid of the Netherlands is changing. The future transmission grid will obtain electrical power generated by decentralized renewable sources, together with large scale generation units located at the coastal region. In this way electrical power has to be distributed and transmitted over longer...journal article 2012

Smit, J.J. (author), Andritsch, T. (author), Chevtchenko, O.A. (author)Assets in high voltage technology have to meet harsh service conditions over long lifetimes of 40 years or more. Due to environmental concerns, substitution of conventional insulating materials becomes a necessity. Because robustness and sustainability are serious requirements, only few new materials are really breaking through. At present some...journal article 2012

Smit, G. (author), Bongers, R.M. (author), Van der Sluis, C.K. (author), Plettenburg, D.H. (author)Quantitative data on the mechanical performance of upper-limb prostheses are very important in prostheses development and selection. The primary goal of this study was to objectively evaluate the mechanical performance of adult-size voluntary opening (VO) prosthetic terminal devices and select the best tested device. A second goal was to see...journal article 2012

(author)For the design of cost-effective coastal defence a precise estimate is needed of the 1/10 000 per year storm surge. A more precise estimate requires more observations. Therefore, the three greatest storm surges that hit the northern part of the Holland Coast in the 18th century are reconstructed. The reconstructions are based on paintings,...journal article 2011

(author)In this paper the thermal conductivity of epoxy-based composite materials is analysed. Two and three-phase Lewis–Nielsen models are proposed for fitting the experimental values of the thermal conductivity of epoxy-based polymer composites. Various inorganic nano- and microparticles were used, namely aluminium oxide, aluminium nitride, magnesium...journal article 2011

(author)We present a modular high-vacuum setup for the electrical characterization of single molecules down to liquid helium temperatures. The experimental design is based on microfabricated mechanically controllable break junctions, which offer control over the distance of two electrodes via the bending of a flexible substrate. The actuator part of the...journal article 2011
