Spring 2016
A technique to visualize miscible displacement in porous media using laser and the analysis of the results for different processes are presented in this thesis. After saturating the model made of different sized glass beads with oil, solvent was introduced either under dynamic (injection and...

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...

Estimating Diffusion Coefficients And Visualizing Interactions In Propane-Heavy Oil Systems
DownloadSpring 2019
Unconventional oil (mainly heavy oil, extra heavy oil and bitumen) represents a significant share of global oil reserves. Due to their high viscosity, efficient recovery of oil from these reserves is challenging and remains an issue of ongoing global research. Thermal recovery methods are...

Localization of Global Discourse and the Breakdown of the Washington Consensus (WC): A Case Study of Korean Higher Education Reform (1993-2012)
DownloadFall 2015
In my dissertation paper, I sought the political implications of neo-liberal education reform with the case of recent Korean higher education reforms. I first explored the macro-causal relationship of neo-liberal higher education reform in transnational social relations, and then the political...

Optimization of steam/solvent injection methods: Application of hybrid techniques with improved algorithm configuration
DownloadFall 2012
Heavy oil and bitumen recovery processes need to be optimized in order to increase the recovery, reduce costs, and minimize the environment impact. Most of the optimization studies published in petroleum engineering literature focus on a few design parameters by combining the elements of...

The Effect of Conventional Elastomers on Force and Moment of a Self-Ligating Orthodontic Bracket with Second-Order Angulation in the Dry and Wet States evaluated through a new 3D Friction Device
DownloadSpring 2013
Objective: A new three-dimensional friction device was used to investigate the effect of conventional elastomers on force and moment of a self-ligating orthodontic bracket with second-order angulation during a simulated retraction. Methods: An 0.018x0.025-in stainless steel archwire was drawn...
