The fluid mechanics literature suggests that the ability to manipulate the very-large-scale motions (VLSMs) that exist within turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) would provide influence over the unwanted drag forces, noise, and vibrations associated with these flows. The ability to suppress these...

The global road transportation sector is a major greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sector. In 2021, the sector generated 28% of the world’s GHG emissions, mainly due to the direct burning of fossil fuels. In order to reduce the adverse impacts of climate change caused by human activities, the global...

Measuring black carbon mixing states using a tandem centrifugal particle mass analyzer and single particle soot photometer system
DownloadSpring 2023
This work aimed to improve the evaluation of atmospheric black carbon (BC) mixing states by using a tandem Centrifugal Particle Mass Analyzer (CPMA), and Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) system. To derive a BC mixing state using the CPMA SP2 system, the measurements should be deconvolved...

A Thin-Film Model to Characterize a Luminescent Solar Concentrator for Higher Efficiency Electricity Generation
DownloadSpring 2023
Jayamaha, Don Jehan Savio Reshon
A Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) is a device that consists of a transparent plate with photovoltaic (PV) cells connected to one or more sides. The transparent plate functions as a waveguide and contains luminescent particles, such as organic dyes or quantum dots. The luminescent particles...

It is common for face masks to be used in conditions that mask manufacturers did not intend, such as multiple donning of masks during supply shortage, but the mask performance in varying usage conditions are typically not regulated and assumed beneficial without the quantification of the actual...

Scenario-Based Assessment and Projection of Water Use for the Canadian Oil and Gas Sector and Several Low-carbon Technologies Available to the Oil Sands
DownloadSpring 2023
The Canadian oil and gas sector is a significant contributor to Canada’s economy, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and water use. Society is increasingly focused on GHG emissions, and it is broadly recognized that GHG reductions in the oil and gas sector have an important role in Canada’s meeting...

Development of deep learning-based methods for rotating machinery fault diagnosis under varying speed conditions
DownloadSpring 2023
Rotating machines are widely used in industrial applications, such as driving motors in elevators and gearboxes in wind turbines. Machines in these applications often operate under varying speed conditions due to variable operation demand, ever-changing environment conditions and so on. As time...

Wind farms are often concentrated geographically as they are cited in areas with strong resources. While this maximizes energy generation, it can decrease the value of that energy, particularly as the relative amount of wind increases in the overall system. Wind energy is growing rapidly in...
