Effect of Cellulose Nanocrystal Particles on Rheology, Transport and Mechanical Properties of Oil Well Cement Systems
DownloadSpring 2018
The increase in oil consumption during the past few decades, coupled with oil/gas extraction from shale in the recent years has increased drilling and cementing demands. Well cementing operation is one of the most crucial and important steps in any well completion. However, since it takes place...

The most common detrimental processes that lead to reduction in durability in reinforced concrete elements are shrinkage, sulphate attack and chloride attack. Shrinkage is a dimensional instability chiefly caused by a loss of moisture in the hydrating cement paste. Soluble sulphate ions take part...

Effect of Desorption Purge Gas Oxygen Impurity on Heel Formation During Regeneration of Beaded Activated Carbon Saturated with Organic Vapors
DownloadFall 2017
Irreversible adsorption or heel formation during cyclic adsorption/regeneration of high molecular weight volatile organic compounds (VOCs) onto activated carbon decreases its adsorption capacity and lifetime. The effect of regeneration purge gas oxygen impurity on activated carbon performance,...

Effect of Diluent Levels on Greenhouse Gases and Reduced Sulfur Compound Emissions from Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadSpring 2016
A well-known issue of tailings is that they have poor consolidation properties, which, in situ, may require several decades or more before the material can be reclaimed. With the accumulation of tailings in the tailings ponds, one unintended consequence of this long-term storage is the evolution...

Effect of fluidization on adsorption of volatile organic compounds on beaded activated carbon
DownloadSpring 2014
Adsorption on activated carbon is a widely used technique for controlling emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from automotive painting booths; however, irreversible adsorption is a common challenge in this process. This research investigates the effect of adsorbent bed configuration on...

Concrete is the most common building material in use in terms of per capita consumption. As demand increases continuously, the change in thermo-physical properties of concrete under sustained elevated temperatures has drawn attention. Although concrete is not combustible and possesses better fire...

Effect of Improving the Visibility of the Traffic Path on Vehicles Speeds and Safety at Work Zones
DownloadFall 2020
Because of the documented mobility issues and safety risks associated with work zones, extra attention is required when designing the layout of traffic control devices. Current traffic accommodation guidelines at work zones have certain limitations that potentially cause driver confusion and is...
