Port planning is a complex multidisciplinary subject. To fulfill its functions, it is essential that the different elements of a port work together. The full potential of a terminal can only be reached when the wet infrastructure of a port (access channel, inner basins, turning circles) can keep up with the traffic load. From the literature...

In this thesis diffuser performance will be simulated with computational fluid dynamics, which will be done with the program Ansys Fluent. The expanding geometry creates an adverse pressure gradient and under certain conditions there will also be separation.<br/><br/>At first a relative simple simulation will be done of a one-directional...

Majorana zero modes have been proposed as building blocks of intrinsically fault-tolerant quantum computers. Currently, externally applied magnetic fields are necessary to induce Majorana zero modes in carefully engineered systems. Topological qubit state readout is realized by parity sensing of Majorana islands. However, fast and high fidelity...

To compensate the heaving motion of a payload during deep water offshore installations, hanging from an on-board crane on a monohull vessel, a new concept is being investigated. By actively rolling the vessel using ballasting systems, the coupled heave motion of the crane tip can be reduced significantly. This is investigated by building a...

Climate change without adequate countermeasures has become one of humanity's greatest threat. Energy production by means of renewable energy sources is therefore one of the crucial measures that will play a paramount role in reducing the pollutant emissions of fossil fuel dependency. Small islands in particular are an exemplary case of the...

The attitude state of the passive Envisat satellite (ESA) has been estimated before using various techniques like Satellite Laser Ranging, radar and using light-curves. This research focusses on the use of Satellite Laser Ranging. Due to the relatively large (meter scale) offset between the center-of-mass of the satellite and the reflector where...

Cogenra company has created a low concentration PV/Thermal system that produces both thermal energy and electricity simultaneously, mainly for commercial and industrial applications. The realization of a system that combines photovoltaic modules, solar thermal collectors and concentrating mirrors makes it a complicated system to study. So far,...

Muscle spindle is an organ of proprioception that plays an important role in neuro-muscular control of the human joints. It is composed of intrafusal fibers, the mechanical properties of which determine the afferent response of the spindle. Intrafusal fibers are not homogenous: they are composed of many sarcomeres, have localized fusimotor...

In this thesis a framework is built to find flow improvement measures to lower the turnaround time for aircraft component MRO processes. This framework is tested in a case study at KLM E&M. The main research question that is answered in this research is: What flow improvement measures can be used to lower the turnaround time of components in...

The current building industry needs drastic transformation to meet new performance standards regarding energy use and indoor climate requirements. It so happens that even with new buildings, the results leave something to be desired. This Master thesis describes the specific case of an atrium in the Deltion College building. The research is...

The problem of testing the performance of an attitude control system presents new challenges and opportunities when conducted on a CubeSat scale. This is the result of drastic reduction in physical properties (size, mass, torques) as well as project resources (funds, manpower, time) when compared to traditional satellite programs. This thesis...

This thesis involves a case-study of aircraft engine combustor maintenance at KLM E&M, which has been used as a basis to develop a discrete event simulation model that allows TAT to be measured, and the effects of changes to the main process value drivers to be successfully tested. The main research question this research sought to answer is:...

Models are an important tool for decision making. However, in order to get proper results, these models must be validated and only be used in situations where the conditions of the validation apply. Blind trust on a model can lead to unexpected and inaccurate results. Advancements can be made to reduce the number of situations where this occurs....

In literature it is widely accepted that 80% of the marine litter originates from land based sources. Since seaports usually are strategically situated with an inland waterway connection, it is not surprising that seaports have to deal with marine litter. Port authorities would like to avert excessive amounts of marine litter by sweeping marine...

The last mile in a public transport trip appears to be one of the main deterrents in public transport to be competitive with other modes of transport. The reason for this bad performance of the last mile can be related to the slow and inflexible character of the last mile. Where PRT systems aspire to deliver an on demand, direct service to a...

A marine operations encounters downtime if its operational limit is exceeded during project execution. Accurate information about the expected downtime during a marine project is important information in the tender phase of such a project. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to give insight in the available methods for downtime analysis in...

Ship accidents are caused daily others not so important with only scratches on the ship hulls and others are fatal for human life and also the environment. Some of the accidents are caused due to human error, but many are generated due to extreme conditions and to the minimized capabilities of the ships' designs. Ships seem to be underpowered in...

Container terminals are important nodes in the worldwide supply chain. The planning of the daily operations of a container terminal is a complex task and sub optimal decisions can be made due to interconnected sub processes, interrelated decisions, time and uncertainty. If suboptimal planning decisions are made in the planning, consequences will...
