Spring 2016
A dual-fuel system is used to control HCCI combustion timing and load in a CFR engine. The systems steady-state response to iso-octane and n-heptane injected energy is investigated then a dynamic ARMAX model is found using system identification. This model is used to design a norm-optimal...

Lab to Field Scale Modeling of Low Temperature Air Injection with Hydrocarbon Solvents for Heavy-Oil Recovery in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2015
Alternatives for enhanced oil recovery processes in heavy oil containing deep naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR) are limited due to excessive heat losses when steam is injected. Air injection at high temperature oxidation conditions (in-situ combustion) has been considered as an alternative to...

Lithium Recovery from Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback and Produced Water using a Manganese-Based Sorbent
DownloadFall 2020
Increased demand for lithium products for use in lithium ion batteries has led to a search for new lithium resources in recent years in order to meet projected future consumption. One such potential lithium resource is low lithium bearing brines that are discharged from hydraulically fractured...

Localization of Global Discourse and the Breakdown of the Washington Consensus (WC): A Case Study of Korean Higher Education Reform (1993-2012)
DownloadFall 2015
In my dissertation paper, I sought the political implications of neo-liberal education reform with the case of recent Korean higher education reforms. I first explored the macro-causal relationship of neo-liberal higher education reform in transnational social relations, and then the political...

Spring 2010
The demand for accurate bitumen-pentane mass transfer data was the main motivation behind this research. Difficulties such as complex phase behavior, high viscosity and opacity of the hydrocarbon invariably lead to failure of conventional techniques to measure mass transfer coefficients...

Quantitative analysis of single particle tracking experiments: applying ecological methods in cellular biology
DownloadFall 2010
Single-particle tracking (SPT) is a method used to study the diffusion of various molecules within the cell. SPT involves tagging proteins with optical labels and observing their individual two-dimensional trajectories with a microscope. The analysis of this data provides important information...

Spring 2016
Heterogeneous materials are omnipresent in several critical engineering applications such as polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), coal bio-conversion process, geological storage of CO2 and membrane water filtration. These applications rely on physical processes such as transport (e.g., mass,...
