The jury complimented us with some amazing words and we even received congratulations from Hilde Crevits, minister of science. An amazing reward for our Master Thesis on Modeling and Analysis of Heat Extraction from Surface Water. We developed a mathematical model to predict the temperature impact on rivers when thermal energy is extracted for the heating of buildings. The simulation results illustrated the incredible potential of aquathermal techniques, reducing CO2-emissions from natural gas to make our planet a more sustainable place. Show less
