Integrated assessment of water use and greenhouse gas footprints of Canada’s electricity generation and oil and gas sectors
DownloadSpring 2020
The energy sector is responsible for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions, water withdrawal, and water consumption. There are strong dependences between energy production and water use, and the adoption of more clean energy production technologies will affect water use. Such...

Spring 2018
The span-restorable meta-mesh approach was previously proposed as a novel method for improving the capacity efficiency of span restoration in a sparse network. The fundamental idea behind this method is to route lightpaths that fully transit chains of degree-2 nodes onto logical bypass spans that...

Optimal Design of Coke Drum Skirt Slots and Analysis of Alternative Skirt Support Structures for Thermal-Mechanical Cyclic Loading
DownloadFall 2017
The skirt-to-shell attachment weld on coke drums is susceptible to low-cycle fatigue failure due to severe thermal-mechanical cyclic stresses. Therefore, various skirt attachment designs have been proposed and implemented to reduce stress and thus improve reliability. The most common skirt design...
