Spring 2024
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has proved to be a technically and commercially successful methodology for recovering heavy-oil in Canada. At present, there are 22 commercial SAGD projects with over 300 pads and 2,700 well pairs, contributing to over 1.5 million bbl/day of production. The...

Fixed beds are widely used in the chemical and process industry due to their simple yet effective performance. They find applications in heterogeneous catalysis (e.g., dry reforming of methane, methanol synthesis, etc.) and in adsorption (hydrogen from steam methane reforming, post-combustion CO2...

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...

Lab-on-a-Chip Designs for Airborne Spore Detection: Towards the Forecasting of Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Canola
DownloadFall 2022
Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most devastating diseases affecting crops. More than 400 plant species around the globe are affected by this fungus. In canola, one of Canada’s most important crops, yield losses due to...

This thesis research concerns controlling viscous fingering instability when a less-viscous fluid pushes another more-viscous one in a porous medium. This instability is called the Saffman-Taylor instability and has been extensively studied, primarily for simple Newtonian fluids. The resultant of...

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...

Spring 2020
In this study, we present a new application of droplet microfluidics in the field of mineral flotation with reactive oily microbubbles (Gas-in-Oil-in-Water Emulsion). Different designs of devices were studied. Different flow regimes were found at different flowrate ratios. We found the condition...

Mass transfer at an organic solid – organic liquid interface within reservoir rock under creeping flow conditions
DownloadFall 2018
There is a growing recognition that knowledge gaps related to the molecular and phase state complexity of hydrocarbon resources, and their interactions within production and processing environments have begun impeding development of new or improved processes that protect the natural environment...
