Life cycle assessment of conventional and alternative fuels for vehicles
(2018-08-01)
For the near future, it is important that vehicles are run by alternative fuels. Before we can go ahead with the new alternatives, it is crucial that a comprehensive life cycle analysis is carried out for fuels. In this ...
Design and evaluation of solar and geothermal energy systems integrated with Cu-Cl cycle
(2020-09-01)
This thesis study proposes solar and geothermal based three multigeneration systems. System 1 consists of a bifacial photovoltaic (BiPV) plant, multi-effect distillation (MED) desalination unit and, proton exchange membrane ...
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 ...
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 ...
Partial separation of an azeotropic mixture of hydrogen chloride and water and copper (ii) chloride recovery for optimization of the copper-chlorine cycle
(2017-09-01)
An atmospheric-pressure distillation system is designed and constructed to partially separate hydrochloric acid and water. The system concentrates HCl(aq) between the electrolyzer and hydrolysis steps of the Copper-Chlorine ...
Experimental investigation and analysis of a new light-based hydrogen production system
(2014-12-01)
Due to the world’s increasing population and the rising standard of living, global energy demand is expected to keep increasing. The limited nature of fossil fuels and their non-homogenous global distribution along with ...
Comparative study of various hydrogen production methods for vehicles.
(2014-12-01)
Hydrogen as an energy carrier is a promising candidate to store green energy and it has a
potential to solve various critical energy challenges. Although, hydrogen is a clean
energy carrier, the possible negative impacts ...
Design and evaluation of integrated waste to energy multigenerational systems
(2022-04-01)
This thesis study develops three renewable energy-based waste-to-energy multigeneration systems and examine them thermodynamically and economically. The first system uses solar-based energy and animal manure waste, and the ...
A study of a novel design for efficient hydrolysis reactor for the Cu-Cl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle
(2021-06-01)
In this thesis, methods to optimize the Hydrolysis reactor for the Cu-Cl thermochemical Hydrogen production cycle were investigated. A simplified Hydrolysis reactor using simple off-the-shelf components was tested and found ...
Design and analysis of a sustainable energy system for a military base in the Canadian Arctic
(2023-08-01)
The purpose of this thesis was to propose and thermodynamically analyze a sustainable energy system for a military base in the Canadian Arctic for heating, electricity, farming, fresh water, hot water and waste management. ...
