Low-carbon hydrogen is expected to have a large role in future energy systems. Recent research shows the short-term financial feasibility of blue hydrogen is often higher than green hydrogen. Ammonia production is particularly carbon-intensive due to its hydrogen production routes. This research focuses on the physics-based modelling of blue...

Swimming is a sport where an incremental gain in performance can lead to either a medal or leaving the swimmer empty-handed. In the front crawl, water is driven backwards by the limbs where most propulsive forces come from the hands. Two main stroke patterns can be observed, the ”straight I pull” is commonly taught to generate forces with drag,...

There is an increase in the amount of CO2 emissions in the past few decades and the process of capturing it back is at a much lower rate. The need of the hour is to reduce the emission rate or even avoid producing them in certain aspects. There is a transition towards renewable energy sources<br/>that could help us maintain the balance required....

In this thesis, the first part will be a review of the literature that includes as much of the commercially available information on carbon capture and mainly, Direct Air Capture (DAC). What are the difficulties surrounding capturing CO2 from gas mixtures and what are the possible solutions that have been investigated? What type of negative...

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...

In response to climate change, the marine sector is increasingly focused on the energy transition. New marine power plants operating more efficiently and on cleaner fuels are receiving significantly more attention. While the transition to different power plants and fuels results in reduced fossil fuel consumption and emissions, waste heat...

The unprecedented increase in mean ambient temperature due to immoderate CO2 emissions has shifted the energy policy towards the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. Nevertheless, the intermittency of these technologies renders them unsuitable for reliable energy supply. A prominent solution is the utilization of renewable...

Dense suspensions can be found in various industrial and natural processes. A relatively new technique uses the principle of additive manufacturing to produce products from a wide variety of materials by printing with dense suspensions. To reach a high print quality the suspension rheology must be understood very well. Current knowledge about...

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to limit global warming, fossil fuel based energy technologies need to be replaced by clean energy technologies. Renewable energy sources are dependent on weather conditions therefore security of energy supply is not ensured and the need for energy storage is growing. Hydrogen is considered a clean energy...

Supported liquid membranes have recently attracted a lot of attention in the field of gas separation. They are an innovation upon membranes, having improved separation performance over conventional membranes. Typically, membranes are infused with non-volatile liquids such as ionic liquids or deep eutectic solvents. The liquids chosen typically...

The optimization of heat transfer in turbulent upward pipe flows is a very common problem in engineering, due to the wide range of applications. However, this set-up is usually categorised as mixed convection flow, which means that gravity plays an important role. Sometimes, it might lead to heat transfer deterioration. This research will...

Energy­neutral tunnels, large upcoming solutions for the carbon emissions in the Netherlands. The energy transition is needed, though it still has its problems. To be able to realize an energy­-neutral tunnel, different components are combined like renewable energy generation and energy storage. By linking tunnel systems not only with the energy...

Nitrogen emissions contribute significantly to climate change, especially in the Netherlands around Natura-2000 areas, and one of the main contributors is manure. However, not only does manure usually have high nitrogen emissions, a lot of it is in the form of ammonia, which in itself is very energy-intensive to create. Therefore MEZT developed...

This report explored the feasibility of dechlorination of mixed plastic waste systems using a low-temperature pyrolysis process. Decomposition of plastics into chlorides is of interest due to the damage these can pose to both the process system, products, and the environment. Therefore, dechlorination of mixed plastics waste streams is essential...

This report provides a design for a new process to make the ammonia-producing Haber-Bosch process more sustainable by reducing its CO2 emissions. It presents different elements of a process design with most importantly; process diagrams, mass and energy balances and a techno-economic analysis. The most important differences in this process is...

As the world population is increasing and cities grow faster than before, food scarcity becomes a bigger issue. To depend less on import and decrease CO2 footprint, food should be produced nearby its consumers. A good solution for food production is a greenhouse which provides a steady high yield throughout the year. Some of the world's fastest...

The Dutch government program “ A circular economy in the Netherlands by 2050“ prioritizes the 100% recycling of plastics used in the country by 2050 to reduce the consumption of fossil resources and increase the value of the plastic waste, which is currently incinerated or exported in its majority [1]. This objective can be facilitated by...

In reacting flows, detailed chemistry computations are usually avoided precomputing the thermochemical quantities as functions of a reduced set of variables such as the Flamelet Generated Manifold (FGM) approach[34]. Although it mitigates the calculations of detailed chemical mechanism, the memory requirement associated to store the lookup table...
