Analysis of hydrodynamic phenomena in a fluidized bed for thermochemical hydrogen production
Haseli, Yousef (2008-04-01)This thesis examines transport phenomena of cupric chloride (CuCI2) hydrolysis within a fluidized bed. Conversions of CuCi2 and steam as a fluidizing gas are numerically investigated using a new non-catalytic gas-solid ... -
Effects of blade configuration on flow distribution and power output of a zephyr vertical axis wind turbine.
Ajedegba, John Oviemuno (2008-07-01)Worldwide interest in renewable energy systems has increased dramatically, due to environmental concerns like climate change and other factors. Wind power is a major source of sustainable energy, and can be harvested using ... -
Evaporative drying of cupric-chloride droplets in a thermo-chemical cycle of hydrogen production
Slowikowski, Mateusz (2012-08-01)In this thesis, new empirical correlations that predict the behaviour of Cupric-Chloride droplets undergoing spraying and drying processes are developed. Cupric-Chloride is a chemical compound with the formula CuCl2 that ... -
Second law analysis of a liquid cooled battery thermal management system for hybrid and electric vehicles
Ramotar, Lokendra (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 ...
