Density, strain rate and strain effects on mechanical property evolution in polymeric foams
Download2022-03-01
Bhagavathula, Kapil Bharadwaj, Meredith, Christopher S., Ouellet, Simon, Romanyk, Dan L., Hogan, James D.
This study presents a comprehensive experimental study of the evolution of Poisson’s ratio and tangent modulus of polymeric foams during rate dependant uniaxial compression. In this study, polyurethane foams with densities of 195 kg/m3, 244 kg/m3, and 405 kg/m3 obtained from PORON (XRD series)...

Development of life cycle water footprints for oil sands-based transportation fuel production
Download2017-01-01
There is considerable focus on oil sands transportation fuel production. However, most studies focus on greenhouse gas emissions; there is limited work on understanding the life cycle water footprint. This study is an effort to address this gap. The main objective of this study is to develop...

Development of Life Cycle Water-Demand Coefficients for Coal-Based Power Generation Technologies
Download2015-01-01
This paper aims to develop benchmark coefficients for water consumption and water withdrawals over the full life cycle of coal-based power generation. This study considered not only all of the unit operations involved in the full electricity generation life cycle but also compared different...

Development of water demand coefficients for power generation from renewable energy technologies
Download2017-01-01
Renewable energy technology-based power generation is considered to be environmentally friendly and to have a low life cycle greenhouse gas emissions footprint. However, the life cycle water footprint of renewable energy technology-based power generation needs to be assessed. The objective of...

Koch, Brendan M.L., Lo, Calvin, Li, Haoyang, Sano, Tomoko, Ligda, Jonathan, Hogan, James D.
This paper explores the compressive responses of alumina ceramics subjected to various levels of pre-damage via internal cracking. Pre-damage is achieved by subjecting the samples to thermal shock. Mechanical loading is performed using a load frame for quasi-static strain rates and a Kolsky bar...

Energy balance and greenhouse gas emissions of production and sequestration of charcoal from agricultural residues
Download2016-01-01
Thakkar, Jignesh, Kumar, Amit, Ghatora, Sonia, Canter, Christina E.
Agricultural residues (wheat/barley/oat straw) can be used to produce charcoal, which can then be either landfilled off-site or spread on the agricultural field as a means for sequestering carbon. One centralized and five portable charcoal production technologies were explored in this paper. The...

Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the recovery and extraction of crude bitumen from Canada's oil sands
Download2015-01-01
Nimana, Balwinder S., Canter, Christina E., Kumar, Amit
A model- FUNNEL-GHG-OS (FUNdamental ENgineering PrinciplEs- based ModeL for Estimation of GreenHouse Gases in the Oil Sands) was developed to estimate project-specific energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in major recovery and extraction processes in the oil sands, namely...
