Beyond Viscosity—How Density, Vibration and Interfacial Tension Affect Solvent Aided Bitumen Production
DownloadFall 2016
Bitumen and heavy oil comprise a significant percentage of proven oil reserves globally. The environmental impacts of producing these resources with current technologies is a concern for environmentalists, oil producing companies, resource rich jurisdictions and society at large. Dilution of the...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of mass transport in porous media of a PEM fuel cell
DownloadFall 2011
Porous media is an integral part of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) electrodes. In this study, an experimental setup is presented to investigate convective and diffusive mass transport in porous media of fuel cell electrodes. A new theoretical model was developed in order to correct for...

Miniaturized genetic analysis systems based on microelectronic and microfluidic technologies
DownloadFall 2010
Genetic analysis is not widely used for disease diagnostics as it is costly and very labour/infrastructure intensive. We believe that by employing both microelectronic and microfabrication technologies, we are able to integrate multiple functionalities into a single, manufacturable, inexpensive...

One of the central puzzles concerning the interaction of low Reynolds number (Re<<1) fluid transport with bacterial biomass is the formation of filamentous structures called bacterial streamer. Bacterial streamers can be tethered at one or both ends to solid surfaces, while the rest of the...

Microfluidic Investigations of CO2 Mass Transport at Elevated Pressure and Salt Precipitation
DownloadFall 2021
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) in geological reservoirs is one of the mitigation strategies to slow down the increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration due to human activities. Effectively characterizing the transport phenomena between CO2 and materials in reservoirs, including mass/heat...

Bidulock, Allison Christel Elizabeth
This thesis addresses the need for inexpensive microfluidic platforms by contributing to the collaborative development of a modularised, integrated system capable of molecular diagnostics using bead-based sample preparation, polymerase chain reaction and capillary electrophoresis analysis...

Caverhill-Godkewitsch, Saul A.
The infrastructure necessary to support diagnostic and pathogen-detection processes does not exist in some regions of the world that need it most. Access to fast, inexpensive and portable diagnostic infrastructure could be a solution to this problem. Next generation lab-on-chip (LOC) systems that...

Development of a Multisectorial Electroactive Nanowell Platform for Selective Single-Cell Sorting and Quantification
DownloadSpring 2022
The rapid isolation of specific rare target cells is of rising importance in current targeted patient treatment plans. Common cell sorting approaches such as stream-based dielectrophoresis (DEP) based cell sorters are limited by their spatial dimensions as only a number of cell types...

Spring 2010
The focus of this thesis is on electro-osmotically pumped flow of viscoelastic fluids through microchannels. Fluid transport in microscaled structures is typically laminar due to the low Reynolds numbers involved. However, it is known that viscoelastic polymeric liquids can display striking...

Electro-transmittance of molecular junctions was characterized electrically and studied optically at 410nm and 532nm. Between 1kHz and 100kHz there was no qualitative difference between the control samples and the molecular junction samples, however there were difficulties with reproducibility of...
