Fall 2012
To understand the water cycle on Mars, details of mass and energy transfer between the surface and the atmosphere are of importance. A complete model, involving transient variations of the water in gaseous and solid phases in the atmosphere and the regolith, is developed and solved numerically...

Estimating Diffusion Coefficients And Visualizing Interactions In Propane-Heavy Oil Systems
DownloadSpring 2019
Unconventional oil (mainly heavy oil, extra heavy oil and bitumen) represents a significant share of global oil reserves. Due to their high viscosity, efficient recovery of oil from these reserves is challenging and remains an issue of ongoing global research. Thermal recovery methods are...

Heavy Oil/Bitumen Recovery by Alternate Injection of Steam and Solvent (Hydrocarbon and CO2) in Fractured Carbonates and Oilsands
DownloadFall 2013
The world energy demand is constantly increasing and fossil fuels are still by far the main energy resource that supplies the world energy consumption market, therefore increasing oil recovery from all types of reservoirs is an important matter. The burning of fossil fuels for energy purposes, on...

Development of dynamic column breakthrough for multicomponent adsorption equilibrium and diffusion
DownloadFall 2022
Pressure and temperature swing adsorption processes are increasingly being designed and optimized computationally. The reliability of these predictions are highly dependent on the quality of the experimental equilibrium and kinetic data used in these simulations. Consistent experimental...

Hydrothermal liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass using water and hydrogen-donor solvent mixtures to produce energy-dense heavy oil
DownloadFall 2021
Energy transition from non-renewable to renewable energy is required to confront rising levels of greenhouse gas emissions responsible for increasing global temperatures and disrupting weather patterns. Switching to renewable energy sources for energy generation also resolves the issues related...

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...
