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.

Fall 2021
Hydrogen fuel cells convert the chemical energy of hydrogen directly into electricity, with the only byproducts being heat and water. The high cost of hydrogen fuel cells due to the expensive platinum catalyst is one of the limiting factors to their global commercialization. Improving fuel-cell...

Transition From Laminar to Turbulent Flow in Non-Newtonian Channel Flows: The Impact of Drag Reducing Polymer Additives
DownloadFall 2023
This thesis investigates the effect of a drag-reducing polymer on laminar-turbulent transition in a gravity-driven channel flow. The drag-reducing polymer is polyacrylamide (PAM) dissolved in water at concentrations of 50, 75, 100, and 150 parts per million (ppm). An extensive experimental...

Transport and deposition of particles onto homogeneous and chemically heterogeneous porous media geometries
DownloadFall 2011
Particle transport and deposition in porous media are central to a wide gamut of natural and engineering processes. In order to establish optimal macroscopic performance, it is essential to understand the microscopic colloid transport fundamentals that ultimately manifest at the macroscopic...

Transport of Bubbles and Oil Droplets Rising in a Net Co-F1ow through a Rectangular Confinement
DownloadFall 2018
The passage of air bubbles and oil droplets with five net co-flow through a vertical straight rectangular flow channel is investigated experimentally and theoretically in this research. A flow channel, varying from 22 mm × 5.84 mm to 3 mm × 5.84 mm (width × thickness) cross-sectional geometry was...
