de Boer, Pim (author)This work describes the benefits of exploiting cold hydrogen in a 2 MW liquid hydrogen-electric powertrain. Hydrogen is stored in a liquid state in the aircraft at its boiling point of 20 K (at 1 bar). Fuel cells require an input temperature of at least zero degrees Celsius to operate. The heating process can either be done by drawing current...master thesis 2022

van Mameren, Laurens (author)Lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries used for electric-rickshaw in India fail far short of their expected battery lifespan. Also, the materials being used have unfavorable consequences for the environment. A new type of battery made from sea salt has recently been invented. The sea salt battery could potentially be a better, cheaper, and greener...master thesis 2022

DIMOU, KYPRIANOS (author)Nowadays, climate change and global warming phenomena are becoming more and more serious issues. In order to sustain the enormous worldwide energy demand, society consumes a high amount of fuel, resulting into the steep increase of the level of CO\textsubscript{2} in the environment. Therefore, the massive greenhouse gases emissions in the...master thesis 2022

Sieburgh, Erik (author)Wave phenomena play an important role in many different applications such as MRI scans, seismology and acoustics [41, 49, 47]. At the core of such applications lies the Helmholtz equation, which represents the time-independent version of the wave equation. Simulating a Helmholtz problem numerically with accurate numerical solutions for large...master thesis 2022

Draijer, Pieter-Bas (author)The vast amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, surging gas prices, and increasing proportion of intermittent energy sources force the energy sector to structurally modify the energy system. The reversible Solid Oxide Cell (rSOC) is considered to be part of the solution due to its high efficiency, good scalability, and ability to balance the...master thesis 2022

van der Kroft, Bart (author)During specific operations, offshore marine contractor Heerema Marine Contractors reduces the draft of their Semi-Submersible Crane Vessel (SSCV) such that the floaters are submerged in close proximity to the free surface. This draft is also known as inconvenient draft. At this draft the motions of the vessel do not fully comply anymore with the...master thesis 2022

Merceij, Puck (author)Climate change is happening and has an increasingly great impact on nature, ecosystems, biodiversity and human society. To reduce adverse consequences of hazards for current and future generations, one must understand how adaptation behavior of civil societies could develop itself over time, interact with its environment and effect its ecosystem...master thesis 2022

van Schendel, Max (author)The merging of multiple partial maps of indoor environments created<br/>by teams of human or robot agents into a single global map is a key problem<br/>that, when solved, can improve mapping speed and quality. Existing map<br/>merging approaches generally depend on external signals which are not available indoors or only use the geometric...master thesis 2022

van Osch, Floor (author)Design for product care focusses on stimulating users to prevent early obsolescence of products, which is particularly valuable for electronic household products. One product care strategy is to create attachment and therefore care motivation by strengthening the product-user relationship.<br/>Currently, these strategies lack practicable design...master thesis 2022

Stelling, Lennart (author)Offshore pipelines are considered the arteries of the offshore oil and gas industry and transport hydrocarbon products as well as other fluids. During the installation process of an offshore pipeline, the pipeline is most often located in a trench and covered with backfill material. The burial of the pipeline ensures onbottom stability as well...master thesis 2022

den Boer, Sophie (author)In vitro models are fundamental in the study of cell behaviour, the physiological function of organs, and their response to drugs and toxins. However, the shortage of accurate and reliable in vitro models calls for the development of in vitro lung models that better recapitulate lung physiology and pathology. Lung-on- a-chip models are promising...master thesis 2022

Molahalli, Pranav (author)Due to the global energy crisis, there is a growing need to make industrial processes more efficient and clean. One such method is to use effective and renewable working fluids in power and refrigeration cycles. Research in this field during the past decade has placed supercritical CO2 (SCO2) in the forefront due to its non-ideal properties and...master thesis 2022

Despotopoulou, Myrto (author)The chemical analysis of archaeological residues can offer valuable insights into the technical complexity of ancient hominins, thus opening a window to their cognitive complexity and socio-economic exchange networks. The scarcity of residue findings in the archaeological record bears the need for non-destructive analytical tools. Various...master thesis 2022

Jansen, Steven (author)Current indicators for measuring traffic safety such as fatalities and severe injuries are lagging indicators, meaning that an accident first needs to happen before it can be measured. With the rise of automation in vehicles, the opportunity may arise to measure leading indicators. These can proactively measure traffic safety by measuring...master thesis 2022

Berendsen, Emma (author)Over the last two decades, the size and capacity of (container) vessels calling port at the Port of Rotterdam have increased considerably. To moor these huge and heavy ships safely at the quay, fenders are frequently installed. The present guidelines for the “Design of Fender Systems”, which were established in 2002, are due to be updated in...master thesis 2022

Bezemer, Vince (author)The support for the hybrid work setting increased during the pandemic, but there are a lot of challenges to overcome. It is important to study the hybrid work setting. Based on the findings in the existing literature it is found that little research has been done on the effect of the hybrid work setting on individual employee performance. In the...master thesis 2022
