In this study, a pressure filtration model for a slurry of milk fat crystal aggregates is developed, validated and used to investigate the effect of pressure-time profiles. The model focuses on the expression step and describes oil flow locally. The filter cake is modelled as a double porous non-linear elastic medium with permeabilities...

The maintenance and improvement of river embankments plays a crucial role in granting the safety and ensuring the quality of life of the inhabitants of the Netherlands. While the threat posed by storm surges has been greatly reduced since the implementation of the Deltaworks, riverine areas in the west of the country are characterised by the...

Large material flows are extracted from natural mines in the earth’s crust and moved and stored in anthropogenic environments. Extraction processes from natural mines are often harmful for the environment and can cause material scarcity. At the same time governments are formulating ambitions to increase circularity in cities. For these reasons...

Ship to shore (STS) cranes handle millions of containers every day. One of the latest products from Stinis is the Split-Headblock. This device allows its user to work in tandem operation in which up to two 20ft or four 40ft containers can be lifted at once. In order to further increase the performance, it is important that it can be accurately...

The development of swarm robotics strives for resilience, a key factor in this is energy supply. Without energy a robot swarm cannot operate, so a self sustaining power management system is of great importance. In this thesis, the design of the power management system control hardware and firmware for the new DeciZebro is discussed. The power...

Pro-social helping activities are activities that are intended by the helper to mainly benefit the receiver. Research from WeHelpen showed that offering passive help through asking “if there is anything I can do, please let me know” does not often result in the helping behavior. Asking for help is difficult because it does not fit in the idea of...

The military use of space brings interesting challenges for both technology and operational aspects. The Netherlands armed forces are a small player within the military world. However, in 2013 the beginning of a space program was started by the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF). One of the key mission statements<br/>stated: “show the military...

The electrical power industry is undergoing rapid transformation, and Smart Grids technologies can facilitate the growing penetration of renewable energies, as well as the necessity of providing flexibility to variable generation. Furthermore, their widespread installation results in a modernization of the electric grid, opening up new operation...

The transition to a circular economy requires drastic changes to the economy. A tool for macro-economic analysis of structural changes in the economy, input-output analysis, lacks dynamic features. This thesis set out to integrate dynamic features representing demand change and technological change. A conceptual model is designed that integrates...

Currently, 54% of the general population lives in urban areas. This number is estimated to increase to 66% by 2050. Urbanization is generally linked to several phenomena that are detrimental to the overall quality of life; the urban heat island effect, and the decrease of air quality due to pollutants. The addition of vegetation to urban areas...

Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have increased unconventional oil and gas extraction from shale reserves in the U.S. in the last decade, making up more than half of total U.S. oil and gas production at present. This activity results in NOx emissions in the extraction regions that are measurable from space using the Ozone Monitoring...

The DeciZebro is a six-legged autonomous robot is being developed by the Zebro team at the TU Delft. The robot should become autonomous and be able to "feed" itself like a real animal. Currently, it is only possible to charge the DeciZebro using a laptop charger. The goal is to allow the robot to charge itself without human intervention using a...

Bed roughness is an important parameter for the prediction of sediment transport as well as calculating flow conditions near the bed. Numerical models are extensively used to make these predictions. In these models it is fundamental to have proper values for bed roughness. The bed roughness is being estimated using a dataset from an ongoing...

Japan and the Netherlands have very different physical, historical and cultural contexts but they share a vulnerability to extreme flood related events and have, in both their (relatively) recent pasts, had to recover from such events: be they the floods of 1953 in the Netherlands or the tsunami that hit Japan’s east coast in 2011. This paper...

Having an absorber layer thickness below 1 micrometre for a regular copper indium gallium di-selenide (CIGS) solar cell reduces the pathways for electron collection which lead to reduced recombination in the bulk absorber layer. Additionally, it reduces material costs and production time. Yet, having such a thin absorber reduces the cell...

Debuggers are crucial tools for developers to support the process of developing software systems as they provide direct insights into the execution of their code. As software development in the industry is moving towards technology stacks that operate on increasingly higher levels of abstraction, debugging tools have not evolved as quickly. This...

Automated vehicle control provides advantages in transport efficiency, redundancy, human-safety, flexibility, and parallelism. Extensive research has been dedicated to direct-following lateral control methods, using a single preview point as reference signal. However, these methods give rise to significant tracking errors. As alternative to a...

The offshore wind industry is rapidly growing, and so is the competition in this market. Normally, offshore installation companies receive a subsidy for building offshore wind farms, but due to multiple companies bidding to install for lower and lower subsidies, the point where wind farms are installed without subsidy has been reached. Therefore...

Failure of slopes has been a frequently occurring hazard, which leads to loss of life and resources. To stabilize the slopes, vegetation has been used, where stump of plant roots act as passive piles by providing mechanical reinforcement. In this research, effect of spacing of trees on load transfer mechanism in a slope has been studied and...

Healthcare innovation company FocusCura is one of the largest providers of eHealth in The Netherlands. Even though they are already active in other countries, they do not yet have a structured decision-making process for an international go-to-market decision. A decision aid for the business development department of the company solves this...
