The optimal electrode pore size and channel width in electrochemical flow cells

Microfluidic fuel cells, electrolyzers, and redox flow batteries utilize laminar flow channels to provide reactants, remove products and avoid their crossover. These devices often also employ porous flow-through electrodes as they offer a high surface area for the reaction and excellent mass transfer. The geometrical features of these...

Design and optimization of FRP traffic decks considering uplift bolt forces: Based on analytical and numerical approaches

This research is about which geometry of FRP slabs is the most optimal, in terms of costs, to use for a given load and boundary conditions taking the occurring uplift bolt forces into account. The first part of the report focuses on the calculation of the uplift forces in the bolted connections caused by the moving loads. For this, first a...

From Condition Monitoring to Maintenance Management in Electric Power System Generation with focus on Wind Turbines: Sustainable concrete infrastructure design

With increase in the number of sensors installed on sub-assemblies of industrial components, the amount of data collected is rapidly increasing. These data hold information in the areas of operation of the system and evolution of health condition of the components. Therefore, extracting the knowledge from the data can bring about significant...

Multi-input Embedded Real-time Software Defined Radio

This master thesis work is inspired by the practical aspects of the Analytical Constant Modulus Algorithm (ACMA) proposed by Alle-Jan van der Veen and Arogyaswami Paulraj. The ACMA deals with the beamforming problem associated with constant modulus co-channel signal interference in wireless communication. Co-channel interference occur when...
