O'Leary, C. (author), de Kluizenaar, Y. (author), Jacobs, P. (author), Borsboom, W. (author), Hall, I. (author), Jones, B. (author)There is growing awareness that indoor exposure to particulate matter with diameterA ≤A 2.5A μm (PM 2.5 ) is associated with an increased risk of adverse health effects. Cooking is a key indoor source of PM 2.5 and an activity conducted daily in most homes. Population scale models can predict occupant exposures to PM 2.5 , but these...article 2019

Willems, F. (author), Kupper, F. (author), Ramesh, S. (author), Indrajuana, A. (author), Doosje, E. (author)Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) combines very high thermal efficiencies with ultra-low engine out NO x and PM emissions. Moreover, it enables the use of a wide range of fuels. As this pre-mixed combustion concept relies on controlled auto-ignition, closed-loop combustion control is essential to guarantee safe and stable...conference paper 2019

Saeed, A. (author), Volker, A.W.F. (author), Martina, Q. (author), Alalouni, A. (author)Scale and corrosion affect the production certainty of oil and gas well. Scale build-up reduces flow and ultimately could shut down production when it block to tubing completely. Corrosion of the tubing wall occurs very often simultaneously with scale build-up and affects the integrity of the tubing wall. Vital information about the integrity is...conference paper 2019

(author), Westerhof, E. (author), de Baar, M.R. (author)The successful use of a tokamak for generating fusion power requires an active control of magnetic instabilities, such as neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs). Commonly, the NTM location is determined using electron cyclotron emission (ECE) and this is used to apply electron cyclotron heating (ECH) on the NTM location. In this paper, an inline ECE...article 2019

Khakharia, P. (author), Huizinga, A. (author), Trap, H. (author), Monteiro, J. (author), Goetheer, E. (author)Aerosol based emissions have been reported from several Post-Combustion CO 2 capture (PCCC)pilot plants. These are known to pose a significant challenge in large scale implementation of PCCC processes. The aerosol nuclei are in the form of H 2 SO 4 droplets or Na 2 SO 4 particles, typically less than 0.1 ?m and 0.255 ?m, respectively. A wet...article 2019

Constrained multivariable extremum-seeking for online fuel-efficiency optimization of Diesel enginesvan der Weijst, R. (author), van Keulen, T. (author), Willems, F.P.T. (author)This work presents a new method for online fuel-efficiency optimization of Diesel engines, using constrained extremum-seeking. A two-input optimization problem, which is suitable for extremum-seeking, is integrated into a tracking control system. As a result, both air-path and fuel-path actuators are used for tracking and extremum-seeking. A key...article 2019
