Fall 2010
Agglomerate formation is a common phenomenon that can cause operating problems in the fluid coking reactor. When agglomerates form they provide longer diffusion paths of the reaction products through the liquid layers and liquid bridges within the agglomerate, which leads to higher mass transfer...

Fall 2020
Development of a lab-scale heat exchanger with increased mesh to tube contact area was accomplished by flattening tubing prior to attaching wire mesh. This novel heat exchanger prototype utilizes thermal sprayed coating to attach wire mesh onto tubing surfaces instead of conventional brazing or...

Fall 2017
Although evaporation is considered to be a surface phenomenon, the rate of molecular transport across a liquid–vapor boundary is strongly dependent on the coupled fluid dynamics and heat transfer in the bulk fluids. Recent experimental thermocouple measurements of the temperature field near the...

This dissertation numerically evaluates the performance of targeted wall-shape pipe inserts on reducing heat convection and frictional drag of turbulent pipeflow at a range of Reynolds numbers, Re = 2.5 × 10^4 − 7.5 × 10^4. The wall modifications are constructed to closely follow three...

This study is a part of a field experiment constructed at the Diavik Diamond Mine in northern Canada to investigate water flow, geochemical reactions, thermal and gas transport within unsaturated piles of mine waste rock in a continuous permafrost permafrost. Diavik waste rock is categorized by...

Refining real site TKPH (tonne-kilometer-per-hour) of ultra-large off-the-road tires at mine sites
DownloadSpring 2023
The objective of this PhD program is to refine the real site TKPH (tonne-kilometer-per-hour) of ultra-large off-the-road (OTR) tires at mine sites. To achieve this, a novel HLSRT model (a Hysteresis Loss model considering Strain levels, strain Rates, and rubber Temperatures) was first developed...

Validation and Testing of a Numerical Model for the Design and Up-Scaling of Low Temperature Difference Stirling Engines
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis presents the experimental validation, testing and review of a numerical model for low temperature difference Stirling engines (LTDSEs). The research of LTDSEs is motivated by the potential use of low temperature heat as an unconventional sustainable energy source. An experimental...
