Mortier, Lucas (author)Re-refined Engine Oil Bottoms (REOB) are a waste product from the re-refining process of waste engine oil. There is a large incentive in the world to produce recycled engine oil and the production of REOB in this process is increasing. On the other hand refineries are going through transitions due to economic and regulatory reasons (i.e. IMO...master thesis 2024

van Beem, Nathan (author), Dijkstra, M.M. (author), Egelmeers, Eva (author), Kraan, Tejon (author), Yang, Y. (author)Only 1% of the surface water in the Netherlands has been classified as ‘good’, making it the EU member state with the worst quality of surface water (Didde, 2022). Polluted rivers cause problems such as worsened human health, reduced biodiversity, and poor soil fertility. To comply with the Water Framework Directive, there is an urgent need to...student report 2024

Jansen, Hidde (author)Reinforcement Learning applied to flight control has shown to have several benefits over classical, linear flight controllers, as it eliminates the need for gain scheduling and it could provide fault-tolerance. The application to civil aviation in practice, however, is non-existent as there are multiple safety concerns. This research...master thesis 2024

Middelbeek, Lisanne (author)This research addresses the issue of rising soil temperatures, driven by climate change. As the Drinking Water Distribution System (DWDS) is located in the sub-surface, the drinking water temperature in the distribution mains attains this rising soil temperature. Because the temperature of drinking water is an important determinant of water...master thesis 2024

Wemelsfelder, Tom (author)In recent years, many therapeutic applications for medical ultrasound have arisen, such as ablation of tumors, breaking up kidney stones, and neuromodulation. To localize the target area, often ultrasound imaging methods are used. Conventionally, a different transducer array is used for imaging and therapeutic applications because of their...master thesis 2024

Memović, Samir (author)This study explores the use and demand for offices in the Netherlands in 2050. Employees and employers have not found a balance in hybrid working, resulting in significant hidden vacancy. This refers to office space that is leased but not utilized, leading to ineffective office management. Real estate managers lack a guide to formulate a future...master thesis 2024

Bouma, Eline (author), Damoiseaux, Luke (author), Groeneveld, Jorik (author)The increase in non-linear loads of modern electronics raises concerns over power quality. Additionally, existing power-quality analyzers are expensive and not intended for household use. This thesis aims to develop a single-phase, user-friendly power-quality analyzer using a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with an emphasis on low cost and class S...bachelor thesis 2024

Domingos de Azevedo Quadros, F. (author)Global passenger air traffic has doubled in the 13 years prior to 2019, and is expected to double again over the next 20 years or so. Growing demand for aviation is met by a corresponding increase in jet fuel being burned by aircraft, releasing multiple pollutants into the atmosphere. Besides disturbing the Earth’s radiative balance, these...doctoral thesis 2024
