Combustion and emission characteristics of ammonia blended fuels in a spark-ignited engine
(2020-06-01)Climate change and fossil fuel depletion has brought attention to the need for alternative fuels. Ammonia shows great potential as an alternative fuel because it is carbon-free and can be produced renewably. In this study ... -
Comparative study of ammonia-based clean rail transportation systems for Greater Toronto area
(2014-04-01)Ammonia as a transportation fuel offers a carbon-free, hydrogen rich energy source that emits no greenhouse gases in combustion, and has no global warming potential. Furthermore, it may be produced from any renewable ... -
Conceptual development and analysis of sustainable powering options for hybrid vehicles
(2018-02-01)Hydrogen and ammonia are the carbon-free fuels that have the potential to replace the fossil fuels in the near future. In addition, they can also act as energy carriers and storage media for many applications; particularly ... -
Development and assessment of integrated energy systems with ammonia synthesis and fuel cells
(2020-12-01)Hydrogen and ammonia comprise two important clean fuels, which are expected to play a vital role in the development of clean energy production and utilization. Currently, their production relies heavily on fossil fuel-based ... -
Development and assessment of renewable ammonia and methanol production systems
(2020-04-01)In this thesis, four renewable energy-based integrated systems for sustainable communities are developed. System 1 consists of a single-stage OTEC plant integrated with an ammonia production and district cooling system. ... -
Development and investigation of an ammonia synthesis reactor
(2018-08-01)Ammonia production has gained increasing attention in the last decade due to its importance as a feedstock and an energy carrier. In the present thesis study, two novel ammonia production systems are presented. The first ... -
Experimental investigation and evaluation of hybrid ammonia fuel options for power generators
(2018-04-01)This research thesis aims to make use of ammonia as a possible fuel source for power generators by performing an experimental study on a gasoline generator with an ammonia based gasoline fuel blend. Then, the combustion ... -
Experimental investigation of hydrogen production from ammonia decomposition
(2011-08-01)This thesis examines the production of hydrogen from ammonia in a continuous flow, packed bed membrane reactor. The experimental study examines the effects of operating temperature, pressure, and residence time on hydrogen ... -
Investigation of novel ammonia production options using photoelectrochemical hydrogen
(2017-01-01)Hydrogen and ammonia are two of the most significant clean fuels, energy carriers and storage media in the near future. Production of these chemicals are desired to be environmentally friendly. Renewable energy, in particular ... -
Modeling and experimental investigation of renewable energy and ammonia-based systems for carbon capturing and useful outputs
(2022-04-01)This thesis work focuses on developing ammonia-based carbon capturing systems that produce useful chemical outputs to offset the energy penalty typically imposed by implementing a carbon capture retrofitting to a power ... -
Thermodynamic analysis of ammonia and urea fed solid oxide fuel cells
(2011-04-11)This thesis is concerned with the thermodynamic analyses of ion and proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) fed with ammonia and urea as fuels. A multi-level approach was used to determine the feasibility and the ...
