Fall 2015
Folding of biomolecules is an important problem in structural biology. The physical folding can be projected as a diffusive search over an energy landscape whose dimensions scale by all the internal degrees of freedom which a biomolecule possesses. To explore this idea, folding is studied from...

Fundamental Insights into the Structure and Dynamics of Confined Substrates inside Silica Nanostructures, using a combination of Molecular Dynamics and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo Simulations
DownloadFall 2021
Condensed phase reactions in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts are widely performed for the conversion of biomass into useful intermediates and value-added products. Specifically, nanoporous catalysts have garnered interest for liquid-phase oxidation, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and/or...

Improvement of thermal heavy-oil recovery in sandstone and carbonate reservoirs using hydrocarbon solvents
DownloadFall 2011
ALBAHLANI, ALMUATASIM MOHAMMED
This thesis introduces a new approach for heavy-oil recovery from fractured reservoirs: Steam-Over-Solvent Injection in Fractured Reservoirs (SOS-FR). The SOS-FR technique is a new technology proposed as an alternative method to the sole injection of steam or solvent and consists of three...

Fall 2018
Dual-fuel Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) combustion is investigated as an efficient combustion mode on a modified 4-cylinder production Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine. RCCI uses Low-Temperature Combustion (LTC) to provide high efficiency combustion while avoiding NOx...

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...

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...
