Spring 2023
Process industries involve processes that have complex, interdependent, and sometimes uncontrollable/unobservable features that are subject to a variety of uncertainties such as operational fluctuations, sensory noises, process anomalies, human involvement, market volatility, and so forth. In the...

Modelling of the Thermal History During Submerged Arc Welding and Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing
DownloadSpring 2023
The finite element method (FEM) and finite element analysis (FEA) are numerical techniques to solve partial differential and ordinary differential equations. They are widely used in engineering, physics, and other fields. The development of these FEM and FEA makes it possible to accurately...

Water-mediated adhesion of oil sands on solid surfaces at low temperature and possible solutions to mitigate adhesion
DownloadSpring 2022
Adhesion of frozen granular materials on solid surfaces creates various problems for surface cleaning, reduces the carrying capacity of vehicles, and increases energy consumption for inland transportation. Here in the first part of this thesis, water content demonstrates to determine the adhesion...

The Structure and Dynamics of Fish Isotopic and Trophic Niches in Natural Lakes and Constructed Fisheries Offsets in the Alberta Oil Sands
DownloadFall 2022
Habitat offsets, where damages to natural ecosystems caused by socio-economic development projects are compensated for by the construction or restoration of other ecosystems, can contribute to biological conservation when implemented properly. But, large uncertainties remain surrounding our...

The Role of Industrial Energy Efficiency and Fuel Switching as Pathways to Net-Zero Emissions in the Canadian Pulp and Paper Sector
DownloadSpring 2022
Industrial decarbonization is a critical challenge along the pathway to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at a sufficient scale and pace to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. The intrinsic energy- and emissions-intensive nature of heavy industry has led to the recognition that...
