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

Abutan, Lisanne (author)Interference of light can be used to determine the concentration of a gas, called gas sensing. The absorption of the light by the gas molecules is measured based on the phase change of the light. In this report, a hollow core photonic crystal fiber is treated. The gas sample is inserted into the hollow core. Photonic crystal fibers possess the...bachelor thesis 2022

ZHANG, ZILIANG (author)In this work, an efficient compositional framework is developed to simulate CO2 storage in saline aquifers with complex geological geometries during a lifelong injection and migration process. The novelty of the development is that essential physics for CO2 trapping are considered by a parametrization method. <br/>The numerical framework...master thesis 2022

Voorn, Jim (author)With the integration of solar panels in urban areas, where shading is a common issue, it is desired to realize more shade-resilient designs. A DC-DC boost converter is an electronic device that can be used for maximum power point tracking (MPPT). When implementing MPPT at sub-module level, the shade resilience of the module can be increased....master thesis 2022

Grolleman, Thomas (author)In the port of Ostend a discharge sluice is going to be constructed as part of an enforced dike ring. The proposed location of this discharge sluice is close to an already existing marina, the Royal Yachtclub Oostende (RYCO), and hindrance is expected regarding the outflow of the sluice in marina direction. When designing the sluice, an optimal...master thesis 2021

Bhatraju, Chaitanya (author)Electrochemical reduction of CO2 using renewable energy sources is one of the promising avenues to pursue towards mitigating the emissions of the notorious CO2. However, the CO2 electrolysis in aqueous systems, due to the low solubility of CO2, are severely limited by mass transfer. State of the art review shows that a significant amount of the...master thesis 2021

Raman, Raghavendran (author)Efficient combustion processes are indispensable in limiting the temperature increase to 1.5 deg C as set by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) before 2030 to curtail the effects of global warming. As for the emissions, the main task lies in controlling the air-fuel ratio in the lean regime as to control the emissions of NOx since...master thesis 2021

Hu, Rong (author)The presence of organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) has caused increasing contamination of aquatic systems. In recent years, the selective adsorption of target OMPs by zeolites have been proved efficient for OMP removal. For the potential application of zeolites in the wastewater treatment plants, zeolite granules are preferably used in order to...master thesis 2020

Shojaei Baghini, Mahdieh (author)Cardiac cells derived from stem cells exhibit cellular contractions when cultured in vitro. They can be integrated with polymeric platforms consisting of micropillars, which act as anchors and pre-load for engineered heart tissue (EHT). The biomechanical response is often characterized using optical microscopy to track the displacement of pillar...master thesis 2020

Santosh, Adeep (author)In the transmission and distribution network of the future, there is expected to be a mix of both Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). In the high voltage division owing to technical and economic aspects, there is a wider use of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) instead of High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC). However, when...master thesis 2020

Onderdelinden, Suzanne (author)In the last few years organ-on-chip (OoC) has been emerging as a new method for more reliable research to screen the effects of new drugs on the body. This is a novel technology mimicking the in vivo environment of tissue cells, making it a more suitable candidate for experimentation than traditional 2D cell cultures. However, in order to ensure...master thesis 2020

Wijntjes, Pascalle (author)In mathematical biology, a morphoelastic model, which combines elasticity and growth, has been used for, e.g., wound healing and tumour growth modelling. Here, it is used to model the growth of an embryo. In order to do so, a growth curve from literature has been fitted to a morphoelastic model which has been extended with a PDE for the...master thesis 2019

Sriram, Karthick (author)Zero Emission Fuels (ZEF B.V.) is a start-up working to build a sustainable methanol micro-plant. Carbon dioxide and water are obtained from atmosphere. Hydrogen is obtained from captured water through alkaline electrolysis and the hydrogen is used for methanol production. The alkaline electrolyser should run at 50 bar and 90°C with 30% KOH as...master thesis 2019
