Spring 2022
Micron-size particle suspensions are very common in industrial processes such as mineral extraction and wastewater treatment. These particles are difficult to separate from the fluid media due to their size. The formation of aggregates increases the effective size of these particles, increasing...

Spring 2012
The present study has focused on the effects of Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) in fly ash on the air-entraining admixture demand and consequent properties of concrete. An extensive laboratory test program was completed during this investigation. Three series of mixes were designed to evaluate...

The analysis of wide-angle cellular light scattering patterns is a challenging problem. Small changes to the organization, orientation, shape, and optical properties of scatterers and scattering populations can significantly alter their complex two-dimensional scattering signatures. Because of...

Data based abnormality detection is a growing research field focussed on extracting information from feature rich data. They are considered to be non-intrusive and non-destructive in nature which gives them a clear advantage over conventional methods. In this study, we explore different streams...

Fall 2013
High-dimensional biological data have been increasingly made available for tackling complex health problems. As with any Big Data opportunities, this has led to methodological challenges for extracting relevant information from such data, particularly in settings where biologically-sensible and...

Estimation of relative transport properties of fuel cell and electrolyzer transport layers by pore network and continuum based direct simulations
DownloadSpring 2020
Improvements in the imaging techniques have enabled the capturing of images with high resolution, thereby permitting the reconstruction of complex porous media that can be analyzed by computer simulations. The two most popular methods for numerically analyzing transport in porous media are pore...

Fall 2016
Chrome carbide samples prepared using submerged arc welding procedures were subjected to physical abrasion testing in a modified machine similar to the ASTM G65 standard, in an investigation of media particle shape contribution to abrasive wear. The primary intent of this study was to determine...

Mechanisms of Aggregation and Separation of Water and Solids from Bitumen Froth using Cluster Size Distribution
DownloadFall 2016
The large-scale corrosion and equipment damage caused by water and solids respectively in bitumen froth necessitate their removal using various methods. This study is aimed at understanding how water and solids aggregate (water-water, water-solid and solid-solid) in bitumen froth and what the...
