A techno-economic assessment of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facilities in Western Canada
Download2016-01-01
Raj, Ratan, Suman, Ravi, Ghandehariun, Samane, Kumar, Amit, Tiwari, Manoj K.
The availability and low cost of natural gas in North America open the possibility of transporting it to places where there is significant demand. Natural gas can be transported long distances as liquefied natural gas (LNG). In this paper, data-intensive techno-economic models were developed to...

A techno-economic study of shipping LNG to the Asia-Pacific from western Canada by LNG carrier
Download2016-01-01
Raj, Ratan, Ghandehariun, Samane, Kumar, Amit, Geng, Jia, Linwei, Ma
There is a high demand for natural gas in the Asia-Pacific region. Most of this gas is exported from the Middle East, Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. There is interest in the Asia-Pacific to diversify its import portfolio. From a Canadian perspective, there are abundant resources of natural...

A well-to-wire life cycle assessment of Canadian shale gas for electricity generation in China
Download2016-01-01
Raj, Ratan, Ghandehariun, Samane, Kumar, Amit, Linwei, Ma
China relies heavily on coal for power generation, and the demand for coal in a country of this size makes China the world’s largest carbon dioxide emitter; hence China is pursuing greener pathways for power generation. Importing shale gas in the form of LNG from Canada is one such pathway. It...

Large resources are being invested globally in algae research in the anticipation that these microorganisms will become the “silver bullets” that lead to economic bio-renewable fuels, new food sources, and a host of high value products and simultaneously mitigate rising atmospheric CO2 levels. A...

Amirian, B., Li, H.Y., Hogan, James D.
In this paper, a microstructure-based finite element model for nano-grained (!+↵2)-TiAl/Al2O3 cermets is proposed based on a modified variational formulation of the Gurson model for an elastic-plastic porous material. In the modeling approach, the high volume fraction of alumina, variability in...

An experimental study on the strain-rate-dependent compressive and tensile response of an alumina ceramic
Download2022-10-01
Ji, Min, Li, Haoyang, Zheng, Jie, Yang, Shuo, Zaiemyekeh, Zahra, Hogan, James D.
This research article studied the strain-rate-dependent mechanical response of a CeramTec Alotec 98% alumina ceramic under uniaxial compression and indirect tension loadings. Mechanical testing was carried out using a load frame for quasi-static strain rates and a split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar...

Jarauta, A., Ryzhakov, P., Pons-Prats, J., Secanell, M.
A Lagrangian incompressible fluid flow model is extended by including an implicit surface tension term in order to analyze droplet dynamics. The Lagrangian framework is adopted to model the fluid and track its boundary, and the implicit surface tension term is used to introduce the appropriate...

An optimized process design for oxymethylene ethers production from woody-biomass-derived syngas
Download2016-01-01
Zhang, Xiaolei, Oyedun, Adetoyese Olajire, Kumar, Amit, Oestreich, Dorian, Arnold, Ulrich, Sauer, Jorg
The conversion of biomass for the production of liquid fuels can help reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are predominantly generated by the combustion of fossil fuels. Oxymethylene ethers (OMEs) are a series of liquid fuel additives that can be obtained from syngas, which is produced...

Farbaniec, Lukasz, Hogan, James D., McCauley, James W., Ramesh, Kaliat T.
Effects of microstructure and material properties on the mechanical behavior of hot-pressed boron carbide are presented. The microstructure and intrinsic microstructural inhomogeneities have been characterized using scanning electron microscopy characterization techniques (SEM/EDS/EBSD). In-situ...
