Conduction and Dielectric Relaxation Mechanisms in Oil Sands Influencing Electrical Heating
DownloadFall 2016
Electrical heating has been proposed in the past as an alternative to conventional water based thermal methods for reducing viscosity of bitumen in oil sands reservoirs. This could reduce or even eliminate water use and associated problems like inefficient heat transfer in the reservoir, poor...

Takyi, S., Yeung, P., Nyborg, M., Parker, R. W.
In the summers of 1975, 1976, and 1977, several field investigations were carried out to determine the amounts of sulphur deposited in rain, in rain washing off trees, and by direct absorption of SO2 by soil. The impact of this sulphur deposition on soils in the AOSERP study area was also...
