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 ...
Second law analysis of a liquid cooled battery thermal management system for hybrid and electric vehicles
(2010-08-01)
As hybrid and electric vehicles continue to evolve there is a need for better battery
thermal management systems (BTMS), which maintain uniformity of operating
temperature of the batteries in the vehicles. This thesis ...
CFD determination of fluid and geometry related localized heat transfer phenomena for supercritical water flow
(2017-04-01)
The proposed concept of Supercritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR) as part of the Generation IV International Forum aims to improve the thermal efficiency over current power plants by utilizing cooling water at pressures ...
Experimental and theoretical investigation of novel phase change materials for thermal applications
(2015-08-01)
An experimental investigation is conducted to test the thermal properties, behaviour and characteristics of R134a clathrates with additives, as phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs’ charging characteristics are analysed and ...
Mass transfer and particle dissolution in liquid-gas and solid-liquid flows: Application to hydrogen production processes.
(2013-10-01)
Many environmental problems are related to the production, transformation and use
of energy. Some of the concerns include, but are not limited to, acid rain, ozone depletion
and climate change. Therefore, “greener” ...
Development and analysis of thermal management strategies to improve Lithium-ion battery performance
(2024-01-01)
The transportation industry contributes more than a quarter of the global greenhouse gas emissions and transportation electrification was introduced as a means to decarbonize the industry. One of the major challenges related ...
