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...

Dynamic Behavior of an Ordinary Chondrite: the Effects of Microstructure on Strength, Failure and Fragmentation
Download2015
Plescia, Jeffrey, Ramesh, K.T., Hogan, James, Kimberley, Jamie, Hazeli, Kavan
Knowledge of the relationships between microstructure, stress-state and failure mechanisms is important in the development and validation of numerical models simulating large-scale impact events. In this study, we investigate the effects of microstructural constituent phases and defects on the...

Ramesh, K. , Plescia, J.B., Hogan, J.D., Mir, C.E.
Improvements in computational and analytical modelling of large-scale impact and catastrophic disruption events will come from a better understanding of the failure processes that are active during high strain-rate events. In this study we investigate the dynamic compressive failure and...

Ryan, Jarod, Bussmann, Markus, DeMartini, Nikolai
A dynamic 2D axisymmetric CFD model, coupled to a 1D bed model, has been developed to simulate the production of lime in a rotary kiln. The model simulates heat transfer caused by radiation, convection and conduction between the gas, wall, and bed to determine the axial bed temperature in the...

The dynamic fragmentation of granite at impact energies of 6–28 J is examined in this paper. Results indicate that more dense materials, or those with a higher quartz content, produce less fractured mass, and have larger dominant fragment sizes and smaller aspect ratios in their fragment...
