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...

Carbohydrate and Phosphorylcholine based Polymers Prepared by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization for Gene Therapy
DownloadFall 2012
The study provides a comprehensive account on the development of novel synthetic carbohydrate and phosphorylcholine polymer based gene delivery vectors. Since the development and use of first non-viral vector for gene delivery applications, a wide range of polymers have been synthesized and...

Characterization of Aerosol Deposition in Children and Infants Using Idealized Extrathoracic Geometries
DownloadFall 2014
This thesis describes a number of experimental studies performed with the common goal of characterizing pharmaceutical aerosol deposition in children and infants using idealized extrathoracic geometries. First, an in vitro study of the recently proposed Alberta Idealized Child Throat showed that...

Characterization of Particulate Matter Morphology and Volatility for Two Direct-Injection Engines
DownloadFall 2015
Particulate matter emitted from two direct injection engines has been characterized by morphology, volatility, mass-mobility exponent, effective density, and size distribution using tandem measurements from a centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA) and differential mobility analyzers (DMA). The...
