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.

    production. The flow contraction caused by the presence of these slots leads to significant pressure loss in the flow increasing the probability of well failure due to plugging. Scrutinizing the underlying physics reveals a flow convergence phenomenon in the incoming flow of produced oil which is

    rectangular orifice. The research first investigates the flow through an open slot to model the pressure loss as a function of AR and the flow Reynolds number. A semi-empirical model is developed for the pressure loss coefficient as a function of AR and flow convergence. The analytical modeling is based on

    the 1 dimensional Navier-Stokes equation and an asymptotic velocity transition model for a Gaussian velocity distribution. The loss coefficient decreased for increasing AR as per the model, agreeing with the hypothesized relationship regarding the streamline curvature and AR. A large scale flow
