Flow balancing is the process of changing the geometry of an extrusion die to achieve a uniform flow distribution at the die-exit. This can be an iterative and costly process. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is often used to aid in flow balancing of extrusion dies by predicting the flow profile without …

Background: Mechanically ventilated patients are at risk of developing inspiratory muscle weakness (IMW), which is associated with failure to wean and poor outcomes. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is a recommended intervention during and after extubation but has not been widely adopted in Dutch intensive …

Dit afstudeerwerkstuk richt zich op de invloed van de nieuwe Omgevingswet op de paardenhouderij in Nederland. Op 1 januari 2024 is het wettelijk stelsel, dat het omgevingsrecht in Nederland regelt, vervangen door de Omgevingswet. Door de implementatie van de nieuwe Omgevingswet staan diverse sectoren …

Dispersion is a critical process within the extrusion industry. The attention of this study is drawn to the deficiency in dispersive mixing quality in single screw extruders compared to their twin screw counterparts. This study outlines an approach that is used to evaluate and quantify the quality of …

In this TechForFuture project ‘Polymer Mixing in a Single Screw Extruder’ a method to optimize mixing elements is developed based on numerical simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD). A numerical procedure is developed to calculate the flow field in the extruder. By tracing particles in this …

There is an ongoing transition towards renewable energy sources in order to combat climate change. National power grids are suffering due to the rapid introduction of new energy sources and have other disadvantages. Local Energy Systems (LESs) are a beneficial example of an off-grid energy systems that …
