  1. Examination of Algae Fuel for "As-Is" Use in Vehicles Israel-Canada Collaboration BGU, Technion, U. of Toronto

  2. Project Partners Israeli group: • Prof. David Katoshevski, BGU- expert on droplets/particles dynamics • Prof. Eran Sher, BGU- expert on vehicle engines, air pollution • Prof. Sammy Boussiba, BGU- expert on algae-fuel production • Prof. Yeshayahou Levy, Technion- expert on diagnostics, and hybrid combustion systems • Prof. Barry Greenberg, Technion- expert on CFD & modeling of fuel sprays The Canadian group: • Prof. Nasser Ashgriz, University of Toronto- expert on spray dynamics and diagnostics • Prof. Murray Thomson, University of Toronto- expert on combustion and air pollution • From Yesterday - Dr. David Levin, U. of Manitoba, and Dr. Stephen O’Leary, NRC Bio/Algae fuels.

  3. Spray Diagnostics – Prof. Y. Levy, Technion

  4. Atomization Research – Prof. N. Ashgriz, U-Toronto

  5. D. Katoshevski – BGU B. Greenberg – Technion M. Thomson - U. Toronto Mathematical/Numerical Modeling

  6. E. Sher – BGU: Engine Performance & Air Pollution Decrease Particle Emission

  7. What do we suggest ? • The focus of this project is two-fold: • Examination of bio-fuels in general and specifically those made of Algae for current and future vehicles use. • 2) A novel technique for reducing the risk associated with the particles produced during the combustion of such fuels. • These two combined aspects are directed towards a • sustainable use of renewable-energy.

  8. Algae/ Bio Fuel Production Prof. Sammy Boussiba, BGU. Dr. David Levin, U. Manitoba , Dr. Stephen O’Leary, NRC Modeling Prof. David Katoshevski, BGU, Prof. Barry Greenberg, Technion Prof. Murray Thomson, U. Toronto Spray Dynamics Diagnostics Prof. Yeshayahou Levy, Technion Prof. Nasser Ashgriz, U-Toronto Diesel Engine Examination Prof. Eran Sher, BGU Hybrid Car Systems Prof. Yeshayahou Levy, Technion Air Pollution Control Prof. Murray Thomson, U. Toronto Prof. Eran Sher & Prof. David Katoshevski, BGU

  9. Planned Joint Work Producing algae/bio fuel (BGU + Manitoba+NRC) Meas. spray systems, Technion+U-Toronto Hybrid system examination (Technion) Meas. & develop special exhaust sys. (BGU) Meas. spray+turbine (Technion) Measurements engines+exhaust (BGU) Particle emission treatment in hybrid system (Technion) BGU+U-Toronto Particle emission Further meas. sprays, Technion+ U-Toronto Further Meas. Engines (BGU) Optimization with simulations and further measurements/adjustments Overall summary and publications BGU+Technion+U-Toronto- Num. model Measurements, Diesel eng. (BGU)

  10. Planned Joint Work

  11. To summarize The Israel-Canada collaboration will lead to detailed examination of Algae-fuels and other Bio-fuels as a basis for sustainable energy production and specifically for vehicle use with low risk from particle emission BGU, Technion, U-Toronto, U. Manitoba, NRC
