The building and construction industry is the third-largest producer of CO2 in Canada. Additionally, emissions from this industry are expected to go up by more than nine megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2 eq) by the year 2030. As such, we need to find ways to reduce…
Currently, the humanity is encountering two major crises: energy deficiency and global warming. In order to resolve these crises, we should consider maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing its usage. Furthermore, we should develop alternative energy sources (e.g. wind, solar…
The capture and utilization of CO2 have significant potential applications in the chemical and power generation industries, as well as in space applications. For the proper performance of space life-support systems, for example, the removal from the cabin atmosphere of the CO2 p…
The goal of this dissertation is to study the transport and separation properties of fluid mixtures confined in enclosing media, i.e., by pores. In particular, molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to study the adsorption, transport, permeation and separation properties…
