One of the major technologies for reducing the effects of
green-house-gas emission from the environment involves the design of efficient
recovery systems to capture and reuse industrial emissions.
Flare Gas and other hydrocarbon-rich industrial
waste are used in the production of hydrogen fuel through exergy-based membrane
separation technology. Slip-flow irreversibility studies in microchannels, where certain aspects of fluid-solid interactions are dominant,
have been undertaken. Further studies
of three-dimensional numerical schemes to improve accuracy, stability and speed
has enabled the development of a novel advection scheme and compressed data
storage format. Integration of an affordable recovery system, by turning safe
disposal into energy solution, that will fit existing
client's operations is focussed. Few of relevant
publications in this area include:
