Analysis of Inflow Control Devices for Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
DownloadFall 2018
One of the main methods of extracting oil from deep oil sands deposits is through the use of steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). For the best performance, inflow control devices (ICDs) are implemented along the SAGD production well to even out production and restrict unwanted fluids. Current...

Spring 2024
Nanotechnology has advanced in recent years to the extent that custom-tailored structures of high regularity can now be synthesized with high precision. Single-digit nanochannels (SDNs), referring to nanochannels with a diameter or conduit width of less than 10 nanometers, present unique...

Analysis of Displacement in an Elastic Solid with a Mode-III Crack in the Presence of Surface Elasticity
DownloadFall 2011
The focus of this work is the study of anti-plane deformations of an elastic solid containing a crack. A more comprehensive model of the mechanism of fracture was found by incorporating surface mechanics on the crack face. Included are comparisons between the refined model and the classical model...

Analysis of an Open-Cathode Fuel Cell Stack in an Enclosure for Varying Operating Conditions
DownloadSpring 2013
Open-cathode polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) stacks use hydrogen as a fuel, are a high efficiency power source, and do not produce CO2, NOx, SOx, or particulate matter. When used as a remote power source, the PEFC stack must be protected from adverse environmental conditions. To provide...

Fall 2018
The work within this thesis is concerned with an unsteady flow phenomenon known as vortex shedding. It is ubiquitous throughout engineering applications and leads to unwanted noise, vibration, and pressure drop in the afflicted systems. Vortex shedding is highly complex, and even with over a...
