Applications of nonautonomous infinite-dimensional systems control theory for parabolic PDEs
DownloadFall 2013
Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...

Boxed-in: Comparing Algorithms for Box-flight Mass-Balance Greenhouse Gas Flux Measurements from Mineable and In Situ Oil Sands Developments
DownloadSpring 2022
To combat global warming, Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) 40-45% below 2005 emission levels by 2025. Monitoring emissions and deriving accurate inventories are essential to reaching these goals. GHGs can be measured at a small scale, often using ground measurements which...

Development and Applications of an Emissions Micro-Simulation Tool for Transportation Infrastructure Design
DownloadFall 2014
Transportation emissions constitute a significant portion of overall emissions inventories, and contribute to air quality health concerns. Reductions in transportation emissions can be achieved through efficient design of infrastructure, effective policy and regulation, and informed planning...

Estimation, Soft Sensing and Servo-control of Linear Distributed and Lumped Parameter Systems
DownloadFall 2021
State-of-the-art advancements in the realm of industrial process control and monitoring often require accurate descriptions of complex processes and their dynamical behaviours. Usually, many industrial processes are described by partial differential equations (PDE) or ordinary differential...

Implementation and Evaluation of Spatiotemporal Prediction Algorithms and Prediction of Spatially Distributed Greenhouse Gas Inventories
DownloadFall 2011
Growing environmental concerns require monitoring and modelling of greenhouse gases. These modelling efforts require processing of massive datasets in a timely fashion. This, in turn, can lead to feasibility problems when estimating values of missing data points. This thesis examines and compares...

Improving Measurements of the Mixing State and Mass Concentration of Particulate Emissions from Aircraft Engines
DownloadSpring 2016
This research is focused towards improving techniques used to measure particulate emissions from aircraft engines, on two fronts: first, to characterize and quantify the mixing state of particulate emissions; and second, to calibrate black carbon mass instruments with a traceable mass...
