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

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

Nakate, P.A. (author)Industrial emissions are discussed worldwide for their adverse effects on the global climate change. Nitric oxide (NOx) emissions are harmful among the various flue gases emitted in the atmosphere. There are multiple routes of formation of NOx in industry. The formation of NOx due to local overheating in fuel lean conditions is the most common...doctoral thesis 2022

Wang, Y. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author)CO2 injection into deep saline aquifers has shown to be a feasible option, as for their large storage capacity under safe operational conditions. Previous studies have revealed that CO2 can be trapped in the subsurface by several mechanisms. Despite the major advances in studying these trapping mechanisms, their dynamic interactions in different...journal article 2022

Cui, Z. (author), Fan, X. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)In this paper, a 3D and fully coupled electromigration modeling is implemented using COMSOL. The fully coupled multi-physics theory has a unique set of partial differential equations, which cannot be directly simulated with the standard finite element software such as ABAQUS and ANSYS. With the weak form PDE modulus in COMSOL, the weak form of...conference paper 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
