With increasing world population, more wastewater is produced which all need purification treatment. Removal of pathogenic organisms is important because they can cause problems to human health. This experiment will focus on the removal of human bacterial pathogens. The problem of human bacterial pathogens …

Research has been done to improve the understanding the self-heat effect, due to power dissipation, of temperature-dependant resistors in the VSL water calorimeter. A custom measurement program has been written to be able to control and read out three Agilent 3458A digital multimeters (DMMs). With these …

A lot of energy in the Port of Rotterdam is getting wasted by power plants or other petrochemical companies. This waste energy can be reused. The assignment of this feasibility study is how a technical design concept of an integrated district heating process is applicable in the Westland. This thesis …

This report is written to guide the reader step by step through the process of developing a heating stage and a iron mapping device for a photoluminescence setup, used to measure the lifetime of silicon wafers in solar cells. Subject specific terms will be explained throughout the report. First, research …

In discussions on smart grids, it is often stated that residential end-users will play a more active role in the management of the electric power system. Experience in practice on how to empower end-users for such a role is however limited. This paper presents a field study in the first phase of the …

Cancer is a worldwidehuman health problem.This is why much effortis put in finding solutions and treatments for this disease. One of the emerging adjuvant cancer treatments, hyperthermia, is applied by heating the tumourtissue, and is shown to increase the effects of radio and/ or chemotherapy. Because …

Stocker Centrale Verwarming was founded in 1978. It is an established heating company in the region of Zevenaar; a city that lies on the border with Germany and the Netherlands. High quality and fast service are the vocal points of the organization. Because of changes in the industry, new competitors …

Research through design allows creating a dialogue with the material. It uses making andreflection on action as a generator of knowledge. Our aim is to explore the opportunities and challenges of smart textiles. The Fablab is our set up, a place that allows us to combine the hackingscientific-, and design …

The focus of this paper is to make a comparison between five different types of conductive, heatable samples. These samples have been produced according to the five most important implementation techniques developed so far, which are knitting, weaving, embroidery, printing and nonwoven padding  –and …

Nuclear fusion is seen as one of the future technologies for roducing electrical power. In a hot and con ned plasma deuterium and tritium will melt together and form a helium nucleus and a neutron. This process produces a total of 17.6 MeV energy. In the plasma instabilities occur. Suppression of these …
