Ferrovanadium production from heavy fuel oil fly ash and BOF dust

Vanadium is an important industrial metal that is mostly used as an alloying element in steel and to a lesser extent in titanium. It is generally produced in combination with other metals such as iron, titanium, and uranium. The typical production method begins with salt roasting of the ore or concentrate to produce a water soluble form of...

A numerical investigation of using flap control on VAWTs

The renewable energy need facilitates the development of offshore wind power. The abundant wind resource has pushed the wind farms into deep water sites. The floating VAWT concept is emerges as the times require. This research is part of Deepwind concept development. The project focuses on verifying the feasibility of using flap control to...

Turbulent Viscous Drag Reduction in Air by Compliant Surfaces

This research studies the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of compliant surfaces in air flows, with an objective of finding possible turbulent viscous drag reduction. A compliant surface is a thin layer of viscoelastic material drawing inspiration from dolphin epidermis, which was thought to have drag-reducing capabilities by Gray (1936)....

Digital Traumatic Memory: The Reflection on Digitization in the Contemporary Memorial Museum

Our world is shaped by digital technologies. Since the first commercially available computer was released in 1951, a digital revolution was started across contexts - exposing new ways to connect disparate fields.

It sits at the beginning of Trg Nikole Pasica street, and lies at the intersection of two monumental squares (Nikola Pasic Square and Terazije Square and Terrace). It is an urban passage called the Bezistan (means...

Intersection control for cyclists with iSignum

The Netherlands is like no other country enthusiastic about cycling and is the home of 37.000 kilometers of bicycle paths. These bicycle paths need to cross other modalities and therefore intersections are needed. At signalized intersections, the control is mostly regulated using sensors such as push buttons and one or multiple inductive loops....

On the one hand, urbanization has profoundly impacted villages within the urban boundaries and resulted in a massive breakdown of local space through gradual changes in land use, economy,...

Google Computer Science Faculty: Education Space of Fluidity

With the help of information technology, people can not only store the massive knowledge formed over thousands of years in various network databases but also present the process of knowledge production in different spaces at the same time. At this time, education will present a new ecology that can be learned everywhere and all the time. The...

Synergy Unleashed - Creating an integrated electric vehicle charging service for drivers’ seamless customer experience

This project aims to improve the EV charging experience in the Netherlands due to the growing European EV market and rising Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) driver expectations of their charging experience.
