Patki, M. (author)A conventional annealing line uses a gas fired or electrical heating to heat and gas jets to cool the steel strip. The energy supplied during heating is lost in the cooling section. This energy has a lot of potential which can be recovered and used for the heating of the cold steel strip. Tata Steel, TU Delft and Drever International are...master thesis 2017

Oyola Perez, Alvaro (author)In many sectors, companies are striving to involve suppliers in early phases of product development. This involvement aims at fulfilling new market and business demands such as reducing development time, reducing time-to-market, improving product quality or facilitating the launch of products in a highly competitive environment. In this context,...master thesis 2017

Pelamatti, J. (author)Space debris, composed of man-made objects orbiting around Earth in an uncontrolled fashion, represents a critical issue for long-term sustainability of outer space activities and for space safety. A reliable and accurate mapping and monitoring of space debris is therefore a critical necessity for modern space industry. For relatively low...master thesis 2017

Balvalli, P. (author)The desorption step of the carbon dioxide absorption/desorption process is an extremely energy intensive process, which accounts for approximately 70% of operating cost according to Mofarahi et al. [2008]. Technip-ECN has proposed a solution of Heat integrated distillation column which will be adapted for the absorption process. In order to...master thesis 2017

Hodenius, L. (author)This study has been conducted in order to develop a method to determine in which situations and under which circumstances unbundling (i.e. the separation of traffic flows), can be used to solve bottlenecks on motorways. Although unbundling has already been applied in the Netherlands, success of this method has been varying. In this study...master thesis 2017

Azzopardi, M. (author)There appears to be something of a perfect storm on the horizon with a sense of drive and changing demand from consumers. The urge to act now mainly revolts around resilience to adapt well in the face of adversity. Fuel cells are a revolutionary technology which can be used as energy conversion devices for distributed combined heat and power...master thesis 2017

Monchen, G. (author)Adaptive Optics (AO) play an essential role in the field of astronomical seeing for ground-based telescopes, providing a corrected image from the disturbance caused by the light having to travel through the turbulent atmosphere of our Earth. To provide us with more detailed images, the sizes of these telescopes are getting increasingly larger....master thesis 2017

van de Leijgraaf, M. (author)Clients and vessel manufacturers are always looking for ways to increase the performance of their fleet. Therefore, a novel modelling strategy for the propulsion plant of naval vessels is explored here. This has been done by using the Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) framework. On one hand, a non-linear description is needed to fully understand...master thesis 2017

Prins, P.J. (author)Experiments in a closed-cycle cryostat suffer from vibrations caused by its pulse tube. To reduce this disturbance, a vibration isolator needs to be placed inside the cryostat. Since mechanical dampers do not work in a cryogenic environment, it requires active damping. This thesis is about the design of a controller for such an active vibration...master thesis 2017

Lonsain, J. (author)Aeroelastic analyses traditionally consider the airfoil of a wing to remain rigid, only allowing deformation in the span-wise direction of the wing. Recent investigations have shown the benefits of adding chord-wise flexibility in the trailing edge of a wing, however so far only two-dimensional studies have been carried out. Therefore, the...master thesis 2017

Mank, A.B. (author)To reduce the mortality rate of sepsis, treatment needs to be started as soon as possible. One should however first be sure about the occurrence of sepsis. Currently, the suspicion of sepsis in premature infants is based on non-specific physiological changes. The detection of alterations in the inter-heartbeat interval preceding sepsis can offer...master thesis 2017

van Alebeek, Sanne (author)This bachelor thesis is about binary error-correcting codes. A binary code is a collection words with the same length n that consists only of zeroes and ones. The error-correcting quality of a code is determined by the Hamming distance d of a code. A classical question in coding theory is: What is the maximum number of codewords in a code with...bachelor thesis 2017

Brouwer, I.N. (author)Sealing constructions are frequently used in reusable instruments to prevent the loss of fluids or gasses in a construction by obstructing flow through the glands in the interface of two or more separate parts, and may be applied to seal patients' body fluids. Patient material contains various types of microorganisms, and with the increase of...master thesis 2017
