Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) measures the diffusion (i.e. random molecular motion) of water. Since the motion of water is inhibited by cellular membranes, dMRI provides insight into the microstructural characteristics of the tissue. However, distinguishing between small anatomical...

Increasing demand for energy in the world has made industries to look for economically efficient methods to produce energy. One possible approach is to increase natural gas productions, due to its cleanliness and lower price. However, energy consumption of the cryogenic processes is high in...

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...

Most crude oils contain traces of vanadyl porphyrins within their asphaltene fraction. Although these metals are only present in trace quantities, they have a significant detrimental impact on crude oil processing units; therefore, their selective removal is highly desirable. The current work...

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...

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...

In the development of a numerical model for the water cycle on Mars, adsorption of water vapour in the Martian regolith acts as a significant sink and retards the transport of mass. Adsorption on Mars cannot be studied directly, so a numerical model was created, and a diffusion sorption...

A technique to visualize miscible displacement in porous media using laser and the analysis of the results for different processes are presented in this thesis. After saturating the model made of different sized glass beads with oil, solvent was introduced either under dynamic (injection and...

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...
