Mahrous, E., Jarauta, A., Chan, T., Ryzhakov, P., Weber, A.Z., Roy, R.V., Secanell, M.
A particle finite element method (PFEM) based model is proposed to analyze droplet dynamics problems, particularly droplet spreading on solid substrates (wetting). The model uses an updated Lagrangian framework to formulate the governing equations of the liquid. Curvature of the liquid surface is...

A techno-economic assessment of bitumen and synthetic crude oil transport (SCO) in the Canadian oil sands industry: Oil via rail or pipeline?
Download2017-01-01
Verma, Aman, Nimana, Balwinder S., Olateju, Babatunde, Rahman, Md. Mustafizur, Radpour, Saeidreza, Canter, Christina E., Subramanyam, Veena, Paramashivan, Deepak, Vaezi, Mahdi, Kumar, Amit
The growth in bitumen and synthetic crude oil (SCO) production in the Canadian oil sands industry has superseded pipeline capacity growth in recent years, leading to the increased interest in the transport of crude oil by rail to desired markets. However, the specific techno-economic parameters...

A techno-economic assessment of hydrogen production from hydropower in western Canada for the upgrading of bitumen from oil sands
Download2016-01-01
Olateju, Babatunde, Kumar, Amit
The demand for hydrogen in conventional and unconventional oil refining industries is considerable. Currently, the predominant source of hydrogen is from fossil fuel production pathways, in particular, steam methane reforming (SMR), which incurs a significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions...

A techno-economic assessment of large scale wind-hydrogen production with energy storage in western Canada
Download2016-01-01
Olateju, Babatunde, Kumar, Amit, Secanell, Marc
Hydrogen production via steam methane reforming (SMR) dominates the supply to refining complexes worldwide, resulting in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There is a considerable demand for clean hydrogen pathways that are economically competitive with SMR. The development of a 563 MW...

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...
