Development of a Thermodynamically Consistent Volume Translation Method in Peng-Robinson Equation of State
DownloadFall 2017
Cubic equations of state (CEOS) are frequently used to predict the phase behavior and volumetric properties of pure compounds and mixtures encountered in the field of chemical and petroleum engineering. Volume translation is proposed to further improve the accuracy of density predictions by CEOS....

Development of a Waste Rock Simulation Model Including Placement Techniques to Minimize Environmental Impacts of Acid Rock Drainage
DownloadFall 2022
This research aims to develop a model using a systems dynamics approach that can be coupled with TMSim to account for the deposition of waste rock at hard rock mines at the feasibility stage of mine planning. The model includes waste rock placement techniques to minimize the environmental impacts...

Development of An Augmented Free-Water Three-Phase Rachford-Rice Algorithm for CO2/Hydrocarbons/Water Mixtures
DownloadFall 2017
In this work, we develop a robust and efficient algorithm to perform three-phase flash calculations for CO2/water/hydrocarbons mixtures on the basis of the assumption that only CO2 and water are considered in the aqueous phase. We name this new algorithm as the so-called augmented free-water...

Development of Finite Element Modeling and Bayesian Parameter Estimation Strategies for Corroded RC Bridges towards Probabilistic Seismic Performance Assessment
DownloadFall 2022
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures, such as RC bridges, are designed to remain safe and functional for their lifetime, during which the impacts of aging may result in performance degradation. Steel bar corrosion is one of the most common causes of structural performance degradation in RC...

Development of GIS-based Methods for Modeling Fire Hazard - A Large Scale Empirical Investigation
DownloadSpring 2022
Wildland fires are natural occurrences in the woodland landscape that play a vital ecological role in Canada's boreal forest region. However, they also endanger human life and can disrupt timber resources and other economic assets. Recently, wildfires have ravaged areas of British Columbia,...
