Rocour, Koen (author)The demand for hydrogen is expected to increase significantly in the coming years due to its critical role in decarbonizing industrial processes. Offshore wind presents a viable energy source for powering electrolyzers, though it leads to intermittent production. While underground salt caverns are acknowledged as a promising solution for large...master thesis 2024

Swart, Mik (author)Climate change is a pressing issue. Hydrogen aircraft are an excellent alternative to current kerosene aircraft, and appear to be the most viable long-term solution for net-zero flight. One of the main challenges for hydrogen aircraft is to sustain a low boil-off rate. This research explores the solution of active cooling of the LH2 mixture in...master thesis 2024

van Lierde, Simon (author)Despite The Hague's historically mild climate, it is experiencing rising temperatures and more frequent heatwaves, resulting in a growing demand for space cooling. However, there is a significant gap in research and sustainable policies to address this demand in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. While studies have examined the...master thesis 2024

Chandrasekaran, N.B. (author)The study of compressible fluid dynamics has traditionally focused on flows of gases whose thermodynamic properties are related according to the ideal-gas law. In this context, for a long time, it has been demonstrated that shock waves in gases are exclusively of the compressive type, characterized by a discontinuity across which the fluid...doctoral thesis 2023

Zhang, Y. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)To understand the influence of slag chemistry on the carbonation resistance of slag-rich cement, this paper explored the carbonation characteristics of blended cement systems with different Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> contents in slag through accelerated carbonation test. Irrespective of slag chemistry, three main CO<sub>2</sub> binding...journal article 2023

Zuo, Yibing (author), Liao, Yishun (author), Ye, G. (author)Thermodynamic parameters of chloride and sulfate intercalated hydrotalcites were deduced. The phase evolutions in alkali‑activated slag cement upon only sodium chloride or only magnesium sulfate attack and combined attack of those two salts were investigated via thermodynamic modelling. Friedel's salt was predicted to form under sodium...journal article 2023

Shin, Donghoon (author), Francis, Akhil (author), Aravind, P.V. (author), Woudstra, T. (author), de Jong, W. (author), Roekaerts, D.J.E.M. (author)A theoretical evaluation of the biochar production process using a biomass gasifier has been carried out herein. Being distinguished from the previous research trend examining the use of a biomass gasifier, which has been focused on energy efficiency, the present study tries to figure out the effect of biochar production rate on the overall...journal article 2022

Yang, Tingli (author), Fan, Xiaochun (author), Gao, Xu (author), Gu, Qian (author), Xu, S. (author), Shui, Zhonghe (author)In this study, a modified alkali activated slag system is designed by introducing additional calcium and aluminum containing phases in the binder, aiming at promote the formation of Friedel's salt (Fs) within the reaction products and therefore achieve a better chloride binding capacity. The effect of calcium and alumina contents on phase...journal article 2022
