Hao, Xiaodi (author), Wu, Daoqi (author), Li, Ji (author), Liu, Ranbin (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)Entropy is a concept defined by the second law of thermodynamics. Applying this concept to the world we live in, entropy production must be minimized and negentropy (negative entropy production) should be accelerated, in order to produce a healthy and stable ecological system. The present wastewater treatment, however, contributes to entropy...journal article 2022

Gudjonsdottir, V. (author), Infante Ferreira, C.A. (author), Goethals, A. (author)Compression-resorption heat pumps (CRHP) utilizing wet compression are a very promising option to upgrade waste heat from industry. CRHPs have the potential to have higher coefficient of performance (COP) than the traditionally used vapour-compression heat pumps (VCHP). However, commercial solutions utilizing wet compression are not available...journal article 2019

Ansari, Mohammad H. (author), van Steensel, Alwin (author), Nazarov, Y.V. (author)Currently, 'time' does not play any essential role in quantum information theory. In this sense, quantum information theory is underdeveloped similarly to how quantum physics was underdeveloped before Erwin Schrödinger introduced his famous equation for the evolution of a quantum wave function. In this review article, we cope with the problem...review 2019

Aarts, S.P. (author)Waste heat recovery is essential to reduce energy consumption in industry. A heat pump can be used to upgrade waste heat to a temperature level that is suitable for process heat. This study concerns a compression-resorption heat pump. The goal is to optimise the heat pump energetically, while keeping the investment attractive. Entropy production...master thesis 2016

Pauli, A.T. (author)As a contribution to the development of mutli-scale multi-physics approaches to modelling pavement performance, the present thesis considers the topic of damage accumulation accompanied by damage recover self-healing of the bituminous asphalt phase of pavement systems. It is found insightful that by adopting Hveem’s [1943] concept of attributing...doctoral thesis 2014

De Kruif, J. (author)In recent years a trend towards more comfortable beds and mattresses has been developed. Water-filled warming mattresses have proofed to increase the comfort of beds. With the climate change, the number of nights with high temperatures during the summer is increasing. SBI has proposed to develop a water-circulated heating / cooling mattress to...master thesis 2008
