Solar Cooling in West-Africa

One of the major challenges that low income countries have been facing for decades is to attain food security. The project covered in this report investigates how solar adsorption refrigeration technology can be used to achieve a higher level of food security in West-Africa. More specifically, the study aims to conceptualize suitable product...

Immersive Safety & Security Training

This project explores the potential of virtual reality (VR) as a training tool at the crew safety & security training (CSST) department of the Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM). With a research and prototype driven approach, a VR simulation and its integration into the training programme are designed. This simulation aims to improve stress...

Structural assessment of the historical wrought iron tie rods used in the Duomo di Milano

The tie rods in the Duomo are structural elements, subject to monotonic loading and cyclic loading. Non-destructive testing is used to find cracks and determine their geometry. Lamb waves are applied to determine the presence of cracks in the tie rod and to estimate their positions. The cracks are located using eddy current testing. Finally the...

The properties of thermodynamical operations

The resource theory approach is a recently developed framework used in the study of thermodynamics for finite sized quantum systems. A simple way to describe how a quantum system evolves under energy-preserving unitaries while interacting with thermal reservoirs, has been formulated in the framework of thermal operations. Despite the conceptual...
