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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
