Understanding stability of water-in-diluted bitumen emulsions by colloidal force measurements
DownloadSpring 2011
Removal of emulsified water is a challenge in oil sands and heavy oil processing. The flocculation and coagulation of emulsified water droplets depend on the interactions between the water droplets covered mainly by asphaltenes and oil-contaminated fine solids. To quantitatively evaluate the...

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...
