Bashandy, Vincent (author)The current global environmental crisis has resulted in increased efforts towards more efficient and sustainable industrial processes. High-temperature heat between 150 ◦C & 400 ◦C accounts for a major part of the energy demand in industrial processes. At the same time, large quantities of waste heat are unutilised at temperatures up to 200 ...master thesis 2024

Bakker, Yannick (author)The research and design hypothesize how data centers can complement the urban environment rather than make a negative impact, both environmentally and spatially. Data centers consume and produce a variety of valuable flows, ranging from electricity, cooling/heating and water use. The aim of the research is to discover whether it is possible to...master thesis 2023

van der Hucht, Laura (author)This thesis examines the role of the concepts of “Build Back Better”, “Disaster Cycle”, and “Sustainability” in water management and the possibility of the interactions between these concepts when designing water management infrastructure. Especially in cases where the disaster cycle is relatively short: 10 to 15 years between disasters.<br/>...master thesis 2023

de Hoop, Guus (author)Kan je architectuur vermenselijken door een gevoel tot ontwerpopgave te maken? Dit is de vraag waarmee ik mijn afstudeerproject startte. Thuis is een begrip dat veel wordt gebruikt en wat sterk gekoppeld is aan de architectonische typologie huis. Zijn deze echter onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden en wanneer voel je je thuis? Door middel van...master thesis 2023

Venneman, Dévi (author)Water and the relationship we have with it are disloca- ted in the contemporary context of the city. Present-day structures of society represent water as a human made commodity, whilst it will always be an elusive element of nature, the human body and the environment. How can we redesign city water into practices that reconnect us to the element...master thesis 2023

Lachtara, Damian (author)The departure from coal in Poland results in the process of decommissioning the underground coal mines. These, based in the region of Upper Silesia, recently undergo a paradigm shift ‘from mining coal to mining water’, as the discharge of the groundwaters is crucial for underground security. <br/><br/>Rather than an obstacle, the discharged...master thesis 2022

Sklavenitis, Stavros (author)The Cassini spacecraft, observing the Saturnian system for over 13 years, discovered aspects of the planetary system that were previously unseen. One such discovery is the eruption of geysers (plumes) from the Tiger Stripes on the surface of the icy moon Enceladus. An unexpected liquid water ocean exists underneath Enceladus’ icy crust (Postberg...master thesis 2022

Wang, Ruoxi (author)Water shell is a Utopian vision based on the thinking of water in the Tashkent context. It is the reflection over the political and chronological aspect of water: The water distribution is largely decided by the political importance of places, and so intervened by city development. Besides, the water body is shrinking in Tashkent in a long-time...master thesis 2020

van der Wal, Karoen (author)Ferrofluid rotary seals are mechanical contact-free magnetic liquid seals that are characterised by their simple structure, low friction and ability to hermetically seal. Although ferrofluid rotary seals for sealing vacuum and gases are part of a well established industry, the sealing of liquids has not been implemented yet. Literature learns...master thesis 2019

Becx, Tom (author)Since the discovery of plumes on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus' southern pole by Cassini in 2005, these phenomena have been observed and simulated by computer models. This study takes a next step in icy-moon plume research and proposes a design for a laboratory set-up that recreates such a plume here on Earth. This set-up consists of a cylindrical...master thesis 2019

van der Heijden, Ties (author)This thesis investigates the potential of a large pumping station in IJmuiden, the Nether-lands, for participating in Demand Response. Due to climate change, renewable energy is onthe rise. The intermittency of energy, together with its unpredictable supply, are a big hurdlefor the energy transition. Two methods are promising solutions to this...master thesis 2019

Maggioni, Paolo (author)The availability of clean drinking water and various energy sources has always been taken for granted and considered to be infinite throughout human history. However, nowadays, we have reached a historical moment in which we are over-exploiting the Earth's resources. The reduction of the high level of pollution in the air and in the water is one...master thesis 2018

Guđmundsdóttir, Kristin (author)The main objective of this study was to develop a quick model for an oil free twin screw compressor. The computational time of the model was to be kept as low as possible so that the model could be used for quick estimations and optimizations of the process. This was done by using a simple geometry focusing on the volume curve and port sizes,...master thesis 2018

van Es, Bart (author)Globally, at each river mouth freshwater is discharged to coastal waters. At each river mouth a freshwater plume is formed. These fresh water plumes are also known as the regions of freshwater influence (or ROFI’s). Furthermore, the freshwater plume will affect local coastal water levels. In order to improve global flood forecasting, research on...master thesis 2018

Although many issues,<br/>like drinking water, have been solved locally,<br/>but a stable electricity infrastructure cannot<br/>be provided by the people themselves. The<br/>instability of the electricity is traceable to<br/>the construction period. Alamar was built<br/>on the...master thesis 2017

Kalatha, A. (author)Modern office buildings commonly have fully glazed façades in order to reflect a luxurious appearance while maximizing the daylight penetration to the interior space. Though glass façades provide plentiful natural light, the amount of energy needed to maintain indoor thermal comfort poses a great challenge to the designers with the cost of what...master thesis 2016

Vreugdenhil, B. (author)This thesis analyses transportation systems in floating cities. In 2050, three times the amount of land currently available on earth will be needed if the current lifestyle is maintained. Because most of urbanisation is in delta areas, and because Earth’s surface consists of 70% water, floating cities could provide a solution to this problem....master thesis 2016
