Numerical and experimental research into the possibility of the usage of a Stirling machine to recover energy from cryogenic fluids as they are being evaporated. Experimental proof of concept and numerical investigation for a sensivity study for further optimazation of the Stirling machine for cryogenic energy recovery.

• Jul 2022 - Sep 2022

Further developing the model I developed during my internship. Mostly focussing on computational cost and efficiency of the model.

• Apr 2022 - Jul 2022

Development of a thermodynamic model for graded regenerators in cryocooler applications based on a set of coupled PDEs. Development of a set of PDEs describing the thermodynamic behavior of a porous medium (regenerator) being heated and cooled. This also involved writing a Galerkin's method based solver for the system of coupled PDEs.

• Jan 2021 - Apr 2022

Studentjob as mechanical engineer to keep in touch with industry during my master program. Development projects involving mechanics, dynamics, statics and FEM in the cryogenic industry.

• Feb 2019 - Jun 2019

Development of an integral hydropower plant. This hydro power plant should be able to work as water management tool besides effectively generate energy with low system head. The system should have a as low as possible ecological impact. Among the largest tasks is the development of a mathematical model to describe the behavior of the hydropower plant when used as water management tool. This model contains disciplines from fluid dynamics, mechanics, dynamics and electrical installations. Development of an integral hydropower plant.

Performing computations on the second generation degassing system, whilst overhauling the first generation degassing system for inland vessels. The computations are used for development purposes as well as proof of concept. The overhauled First generation system also found purpose as proof od concept and was used for promotional purposes.

Feasibility study for the usage of waste heat to generate power using a Stirling engine. The waste heat is produced when hydro carbons are condensed out of gaseous flows from inland vessels being degassed. This is done to prevent the hydro carbons entering the atmosphere.
