Causality analysis using data-driven models helps in the construction of graphical models that illustrate the interaction among the variables of a process system. A majority of industrial processes operate in multiple operating modes and thus the measurements from these processes exhibit...

This thesis reports the study of flow inside a honeycomb type substrate. Honeycomb monoliths are extensively used in the automotive industry, as substrates in the exhaust gas after-treatment system. The flow approaching a honeycomb monolith is usually highly turbulent; However, once entering the...

The interface between two phases—for example, a liquid and a vapor phase—influences the properties of the phases it separates. When the interface is flat, the phase properties of both single- and multicomponent systems can be reliably predicted by applying well-established thermodynamic...

Hydrogels bear a close resemblance to human tissues and thus have been extensively employed for a broad range of applications in recent years. Intelligent hydrogels that can respond to diverse stimuli, such as pH, temperature, ionic strength, strain and stress, hold great promise for a variety of...

Certain areas of oil sands in Canada are mined and processed for bitumen production using hot water processes that produce a slurry waste, referred to as tailings. Sand particles in tailings quickly settle and produce mature fine tailings (MFT), which are stored in large tailing ponds. Currently,...
