This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Dimensional assessment and process optimization of additively manufactured structured 3D porosity via primitive triply periodic minimal surface lattice structure and laser powder bed fusion technique
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis reports the challenges that need to be addressed before any heat transfer analysis of a proposed novel cellular-walled pipe heat sink system manufactured by LPBF technique. The proper cellular structure type selection for enhanced heat transfer performance, as well as providing a...

Enhancing Heat Pipe Efficacy: Thermosyphon Analysis, New Generation Refrigerant Transition, and Design Optimization
DownloadFall 2023
The efficacy of heat pipes is often constrained by their ability to effectively return condensed liquid from the condenser to the evaporator section through capillary pumping. However, when the heat pipe wick is absent or flooded due to overfilling, capillary pumping becomes irrelevant, resulting...

Fall 2024
Much research has been performed over the past few decades on heat pipe performance enhancement. A major thrust of investigation has been to examine factors impacting condensation. Measurements suggest that drop-wise condensation achieves a comparatively larger rate of condensate discharge on...

Manufacturing and evaluation of the tensile properties of 3D printed human hair reinforced composites
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis proposes a novel method to 3D print human hair-based polymer composites. Human hair is a biological fiber whose microstructure is well-defined. It possesses high tensile strength, thermal insulation, a unique chemical composition, and elastic recovery, among other qualities. However,...
