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 2018
In the mining industry, high wear rates in slurry pipelines can lead to premature/unplanned failure, causing operation outages and environmental incidents. Laboratory-scale wear studies and physics-based modelling are required to predict pipe wear. Recent studies have revealed a strong...

In this study, Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) was used as a basis to optimize the operating conditions (pipe diameter, particle size and solids concentration) for a hypothetical liquid CO2 slurry pipeline, carrying petroleum coke (“pet coke”) or sulfur particles. The optimum particle size and...

Fall 2012
Design and maintenance of coarse-particle Newtonian slurries pipeline requires the knowledge of carrier fluid viscosity. Since measurements of carrier fluid viscosity are difficult, numerous empirical correlations are typically used to predict this value. The main deficiency of available...

There are numerous examples of dispersed turbulent two-phase flows in engineering and environmental processes. In particular, dispersed solid-liquid flows, also known as slurry flows, have many industrial applications such as transportation of coal, ore, and oil sands. Slurry transportation...
