Modelling of Premixed Dual-Fuel Combustion in Marine Engines You are invited to join the PhD Defense of: Name: Somayeh Parsa Title: Modelling of Premixed Dual-Fuel Combustion in Marine Engines Topic: Hydrogen and methanol offer promising pathways towards cleaner shipping and can be used in dual-fuel marine engines, where diesel initiates combustion. However, their distinct properties create challenges for achieving efficient and stable engine operation. This research develops

Data-Driven Implicit Energy Balancing Algorithms for Battery Energy Storage Systems You are invited to join the PhD Defense of: Seyed Soroush Karimi Madahi Name: Seyed Soroush Karimi Madahi Title: Data-Driven Implicit Energy Balancing Algorithms for Battery Energy Storage Systems Topic: The global transition toward renewable energy is drastically changing how our electricity grids operate. While solar and wind power are vital for decarbonization, their weather dependent natur

A Leaf-Resolved CFD Model for Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer in Plant Canopies You are invited to join the PhD Defense of: Name : Wito Plas Title : A Leaf-Resolved CFD Model for Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer in Plant Canopies Topic : In this study, a new, more detailed model is proposed to simulate airflow, temperature, and humidity around plants in a controlled environment. Currently, plants are usually approached as “porous zones”: simplified blocks of plant material that
