Fall 2016
Fluidized beds offer efficient solutions for segregation of clay and bitumen pellets in the oil production industry. However, the hydrodynamics of these systems is not well-known and they are mostly operated as ``black box''. The removal of clay pellets in the mechanical separation of oil sands...

Development Towards a Three-Component Three-Dimensional Micro Velocity Measurement Technique
DownloadFall 2012
An investigation towards determining the sources of uncertainty of a three-component three dimensional (3C3D) velocity measurement technique has been performed. The concept of the technique is velocity vector calculation based on 3D cross correlation of the intensity volume of positions of...

Life Cycle Assessment of North American Conventional Crudes for Production of Transportation Fuels
DownloadSpring 2015
Global energy demand is expected to grow substantially and will lead to increased production of crude oil from various sources. The production of crude oil and it’s conversion to transportation fuels result in the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. As one of the highest...
