Kawalec, Marcel (author)Prediction of heat transfer phenomena and resulting temperature distributions is crucial among many appliances in the industry sector. In a vacuum, the dominant mode of heat transfer is conduction. The resulting temperature drop at the body’s interface is dependent on a parameter known as Thermal Contact Conductance (TCC) or, alternatively,...master thesis 2023

Bouwmeester, Helene (author)Glass is gaining more and more popularity as a structural material and has become a big share of the building industry. Unfortunately, the building industry is the largest polluter in terms of industrial waste and is responsible for 40% of Europe’s energy demand (CIB, 1999), and glass is also playing a significant role in this number. One...master thesis 2023

Trotta, Luca (author)High-frequency combustion instabilities represent the main technical risk faced by design engineers when developing new chemical rocket propulsion systems. Such instabilities are driven by the coupling between the flames’ heat release rate and the combustion chamber’s acoustic field. As such, they can only be assessed during detailed design...master thesis 2023

Volakos, Efstratios (author), Davis, Chris (author), Teich, Martien (author), Lenk, Peter (author), Overend, M. (author)Embedded load-bearing laminated glass connections have gained popularity in recent years due to their mechanical performance and aesthetic appeal. However, there is a paucity of data on their structural behaviour across a range of temperatures that may arise in building applications and there is also no simplified mechanics-based model for...journal article 2023
