The influence of uniform and non-uniform fluid oscillations on particle settling and migration behavior

Vertical fluid oscillations have experimentally been shown to retard solid particles from settling at their terminal settling velocity. Using non-uniform fluid oscillations it even showed possible to make particles hover or rise against gravity. Non-uniform fluid oscillations are defined as sawtooth-like wave shapes, whereas uniform oscillations...

Smart comfort - A study of adaptive comfort in the Netherlands through smart facades

This "designers' manual" is made during the TIDO-course AR0531 Innovation and Sustainability This manual is designed for architects and engineers that want to know more about indoor comfort and how this can be achieved through smart facades.

Analysis of current distribution and circulating currents in a permanent magnet synchronous machine with parallel coils

In this thesis the current distribution among parallel coils and the presence of circulating currents in an electric machine is investigated. Differences in induced voltage and in impedance between the parallel coils might lead to an uneven current distribution, which may cause the temperature of a single turn to become too high. To determine...

Advanced Nano Telescope: A cornerstone solution in Earth Observation

Recent developments in satellite industry gaining strong attention are so called nanosatellites. These small satellites, with sizes of about a milk carton, are easy to build and much more adordable, promising great advantages for future space missions. Up until today no reliable mid-resolution Earth observation instrument has been build that can...
