For shipboard CCUS facilities, the integration of chemical absorption columns is constrained by a limited vertical envelope, which motivates packings with axially stretched or compressed Kelvin cells to support compact layout and flow control. This study employs computational fluid dynamics to investigate microscale flow and mass transfer characteristics in Kelvin cells. A comparison among the regular Kelvin cell (RKC), the ve...

The use of ammonia-fueled solid oxide fuel cells (NH3-SOFC) in shipping has emerged as a key area of research for advancing zero-carbon transportation. This study integrates and analyzes a novel ship design powered by NH3-SOFCs to quantify its environmental impact across its entire life-cycle, from production to disposal. A 200 TEU ammonia-fueled container ship operating on the Yangtze River is used as the reference vessel. Co...

With the increasing severity of global environmental issues and the pressure from the strict pollutant emission regulations proposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the shipping industry is seeking new types of marine power systems that can replace traditional propulsion systems. Marine fuel cells, as an emerging energy technology, only emit water vapor or a small amount of carbon dioxide during operation, an...
