Overcoming Mass Transport Limitations in Electrochemical Reactors with a Pulsating Flow ElectrolyzerPérez Gallent, E. (author), Sánchez Martínez, C. (author), Geers, L.F.G. (author), Turk, S. (author), Latsuzbaia, R. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)Electrochemical processes are a promising technology for industrial production of chemicals. One of the major drawbacks of electrochemical systems is the low mass transfer of reactants toward the active surface area of the electrode. In this paper, an approach is presented to enhance the mass transfer and increase the overall performance of the...article 2020

Miksys, J. (author), Arutinov, G. (author), Römer, G.R.B.E. (author)Silver nanoparticle inks are among the key functional materials used in printed electronics. Depositing it by laser-induced forward transfer remains a challenging task because the non-linear rheological nature of these inks narrows the range of the laser processing parameters. Understanding, therefore, the influence of the laser parameters on...article 2019

(author)Membrane distillation is an attractive technology for production of fresh water from seawater. The MemPower® concept, studied in this work, uses available heat (86 °C) to produce pressurized water (2.2 bar and 46 °C) by membrane distillation, which again can be used to power a turbine for co-production of electricity. We develop a non...article 2017

Belfroid, S.P.C. (author), van Wijhe, A. (author)Liquid loading is the mechanism that is associated with increased liquid hold-up and liquid back flow at lower gas flow rates in gas production wells. In laboratory, most liquid loading experiments are performed at fixed gas and liquid rates (mass flow controlled). In the field, the well behavior is a coupled well-reservoir system in which the...conference paper 2017
