Complex concentrated slurry flows in horizontal pipelines are widely seen in many industries for transportation of solid particles or process wastes. i.e., tailings. Slurry flows can occur in a turbulent regime, and the carrier fluid usually shows a non–Newtonian behavior. Understanding the flow...

Fluid transport within confinement is important for many lab-scale and industrial-scale technological processes ranging from membrane separation, enhanced oil recovery, CO2 sequestration to drug delivery systems. At the industrial scale, confined liquids are often quite complex as they consist...

Phase separation by dilution with poor solvents is important for many separation processes, notably asphaltene precipitation in paraffinic froth treatment (PFT) in oil sands extraction. PFT is a step of bitumen froth treatment in which paraffinic solvent is added to the bitumen froth to reduce...

Water-mediated adhesion of oil sands on solid surfaces at low temperature and possible solutions to mitigate adhesion
DownloadSpring 2022
Adhesion of frozen granular materials on solid surfaces creates various problems for surface cleaning, reduces the carrying capacity of vehicles, and increases energy consumption for inland transportation. Here in the first part of this thesis, water content demonstrates to determine the adhesion...
