Fall 2013
The impact of mixing on water removal from diluted bitumen and bitumen froth is studied, with the goal of maximizing demulsifier performance. The relative effects of bulk concentration, mixing intensity, mixing time and injection concentration on the demulsifier performance are evaluated. A...

Carbon isotope analyses of gases extracted from drilling muds while drilling in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) can be used to create carbon isotopic depth profiles. These profiles provide essentially continuous data through the stratigraphic section, offering a unique opportunity to...

Fall 2016
Fluidized beds offer efficient solutions for segregation of clay and bitumen pellets in the oil production industry. However, the hydrodynamics of these systems is not well-known and they are mostly operated as ``black box''. The removal of clay pellets in the mechanical separation of oil sands...

Fall 2011
The impact of mixing on diluted bitumen de-watering is studied in two stages using a fractional factorial design of experiments. The first stage evaluates the relative effects of bulk demulsifier dosage, local maximum energy dissipation, and mixing time. The second stage of experiments evaluates...

The Effects of Mixing, Reaction Rate and Stoichiometry on Yield for Mixing Sensitive Reactions
DownloadSpring 2010
Competitive-Consecutive and Competitive-Parallel reactions are both mixing sensitive reactions; the yield of desired product from these reactions depends on how fast the reactants are brought together. Recent experimental results have suggested that the mixing effect may depend strongly on the...

Three-Dimensional Numerical Investigation on Velocity Field and Mixing Characteristics at Channel Junctions
DownloadFall 2014
Channel confluence is an important component in river systems. The flow dynamics and mixing processes associated with such geometry are highly three-dimensional and complicated. In this study, a commercial software, ANSYS CFX, was employed to investigate the flow structures and mixing...

The confined impinging jet reactor gives efficient mixing performance as required for fast reactions. In this work the mixing performance of CIJR is characterized through three measures: estimates of the energy dissipation, micromixing efficiency based on the yield of a homogeneous...
