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.

An Oxygen Reduction Reaction Kinetic Model for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells Based on Free Energies of Activation and Adsorption
DownloadSpring 2023
Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are a promising alternative technology to internal combustion engines used on vehicles. However, improvements on durability and performance are needed in order to boost the commercialization of this technology. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)...

CFD Modelling of Bioprocesses: Integrating Mechanical Mixing, Aeration and Dynamic Rheology
DownloadFall 2021
Sadino Riquelme, Maria Constanza
Bioprocesses currently have a huge importance in worldwide sustainable development. However, the design of bioreactors based on experimental and empirical knowledge poses a challenge for the industrial biotechnology. Thus, CFD has gained attention as a design tool. Although CFD modelling has...

Spring 2011
One of heavy oils upgrading processes is hydroconversion. As it is a complex process involving many chemical reactions, the mathematical model of hydroconversion process often has more kinetic parameters than can be estimated from the data. In this thesis, a model for hydroconversion processing...

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Mechanistic Model Development and Application over a Cu-CHA Catalyst
DownloadFall 2018
Mechanistic proposals for the different selective catalytic reduction (SCR) subreactions are integrated into one surface reaction mechanism that describes the main SCR reactions (Standard SCR, Fast SCR, NO2 SCR), transient effects due to nitrate storage, as well as the production of the side...
