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 ...
Passive damping mechanism of Herschel-Quincke tubes for pressure pulsations in piping systems
(2018-12-01)
The acoustic pressure pulsations in industrial piping systems can induce fluctuating loads on inline equipment which may cause fatigue failure and in severe cases, initiate a phenomenon known as acoustic resonance. Passive ...
Design and analysis of an active underbody aerodynamic device for tractor trailers
(2018-04-01)
At highway speeds, up to 65 % of the total energy used by large trucks is for overcoming aerodynamic drag. The underbody region of a tractor-trailer is responsible for up to 30 % of the aerodynamic drag on tractor-trailers, ...
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 ...
Design and verification of situation-aware real-time systems
(2018-12-01)
A real-time system (RTS) is usually well-defined and operates based on a specific model defined during system design. However, the RTS can interact with different objects from its environment and needs to satisfy a number ...
Investigation of copper deposition on steel in molten copper chloride
(2018-01-01)
Hydrogen is considered as the most prominent candidate for clean energy generation. The Copper Chloride (Cu-Cl) cycle has been chosen as an effective cycle for production of hydrogen due to its comparatively lower operating ...
Thermal management of the thermochemical Cu-Cl cycle linked with industrial processes for hydrogen production
(2018-04-01)
This thesis study develops, analyzes and evaluates three integrated systems using process heats available in industrial applications for hydrogen production via copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle. The first system consists of ...
