Applications of nonautonomous infinite-dimensional systems control theory for parabolic PDEs
DownloadFall 2013
Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...

Consider an open control volume consisting of a porous medium submerged in a surrounding ambient fluid of density ρa. The top and bottom of the control volume allow ambient fluid to enter the porous medium. Saline fluid of density ρs>ρa is supplied at a constant rate of Qo near the top of the...

This dissertation characterizes the wake dynamics of long depth-ratio wall-mounted rectangular cylinders at a range of Reynolds numbers between 250-1000 at different incidence (yaw) angles, 0° - 45° with respect to the free stream flow. The effect of large depth-ratio on flow characteristics and...

Thunderstorms have the potential to produce severe weather and can result in significant financial and human losses. The province of Alberta is one of Canada’s most active thunderstorm regions, with the record for insured damage due to hail. Therefore, it is crucial that thunderstorm forecasts be...

Economic and Environmental Assessment of Large-scale Electro-chemical and Flywheel Energy Storage Systems for Stationary Applications
DownloadFall 2022
There are few cost and environmental feasibility assessments of energy storage systems for utility-scale applications. The development of techno-economic and environmental performance indicators is crucial to make an informed decision on future development and deployment of energy storage...

Lithium Recovery from Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback and Produced Water using a Manganese-Based Sorbent
DownloadFall 2020
Increased demand for lithium products for use in lithium ion batteries has led to a search for new lithium resources in recent years in order to meet projected future consumption. One such potential lithium resource is low lithium bearing brines that are discharged from hydraulically fractured...

In this thesis we study MT from giant and subgiant donors in binary stars. We develop a MT simulation framework based on the MESA set of stellar libraries, which is suitable to study extremely high MT rates and predict the stability of MT. We find that the MT from giant donors is much more stable...
