Fall 2017
Asphaltenes are the heaviest components in crude oil. It is generally believed that asphaltenes adsorbed at oil/water interface can form a protective layer to stabilize the water-in-oil emulsions. Therefore, it is of both fundamental and practical importance to understand the adsorption kinetics...

Investigation of Pavement Management Practices and Pavement Material Performance in Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2018
Roadways are one of the most important pieces of public infrastructure in any municipality, province, or country. Roads connect economic corridors encouraging trade, provide citizens with the option to travel, and remain a necessity for all people to access work and the majority of the main...

Laboratory Rock Strength Measurements of Saturated Carbonates: Implications for the Grosmont Formation
DownloadFall 2018
The Devonian Grosmont formation, located in Alberta, contains vast resources totaling approximately 405 billion barrels of crude bitumen-in-place. The highly viscous bitumen is by definition less than 10° API gravity, remaining immobile at Grosmont formation in-situ temperatures. In the oil and...

Life Cycle Assessment of Transportation Fuels from Canada’s Oil Sands through Development of Theoretical Engineering Models
DownloadFall 2014
Oil sands in Canada are significant in fulfilling the current and the future energy demands of North America. The development of these resources, besides the increased awareness in global carbon management, has given way to various policy regulations such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)...

Fall 2013
In industrial visbreaking processes, the conversion typically takes place at ~450 °C and the extent of conversion is limited by the coking propensity of the feed. Some of the older literature on bitumen upgrading reported that it was possible to substantially upgrade the straight run product at...

Spring 2010
The demand for accurate bitumen-pentane mass transfer data was the main motivation behind this research. Difficulties such as complex phase behavior, high viscosity and opacity of the hydrocarbon invariably lead to failure of conventional techniques to measure mass transfer coefficients...

Fall 2015
Drop transfer from one solid surface to another through stretching liquid bridges between them is important for many industrial applications. Due to the different dominate forces, three possible regimes exist: Quasi-static Regime, where the transfer process is only dominated by surface forces;...
