Fall 2014
This thesis is focused on the Si-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as well as biomass-derived carbons for LIBs and sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). In our first attempt we investigated the effect of the support growth substrate as well as of aluminum coating layers on the...

Spring 2015
This thesis is focused on the silicon-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as well as germanium-based electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). In our first attempt we studied electrochemical cycling stability and degradation mechanisms of silicon nanowires (SiNWs)...

Fall 2009
Particle distribution and settling in suspensions with non-Newtonian liquids agi- tated with a Rushton turbine in a lab-scale tank have been studied. The rheology of the non-Newtonian liquids can be described by the power-law, Bingham and Herschel-Bulkley fluid models. The dynamics of the...

Fall 2014
Interactions between droplets were studied using two lattice Boltzmann methods (LBMs). The Shan-Chen LBM, in which repulsive forces between fluids maintain phase separation, was used to simulate systems with three immiscible components. The simulations demonstrated the three equilibrium...

Spring 2014
Introduction of a binding or reacting liquid into a gas-solid fluidized bed is common in industrial processes (e.g. fluid coking, catalytic cracking, granulation). Ability of the liquid to spread and the attractive effect on particles due to liquid bridge formation alter the fluidization behavior...

Simultaneous Gross Error Detection and Data Reconciliation Using Gaussian Mixture Distribution
DownloadFall 2017
The intensive competitive nature of the world market, the growing significance of quality products, and the increasing importance and the number of safety and environmental issues and regulations, respectively, have increased the need for fast and low-cost changes in chemical processes to enhance...

Fall 2021
Head and neck cancer is a devastating disease resulting in difficulties in mastication (chewing) and deglutition (swallowing) even after treatment. Jaw reconstruction together with oral prostheses can restore anatomical structures. Without embedded sensory function in the prosthesis, however,...

Fall 2017
The by-product slurry resulting from the bitumen extraction process from oil sands sources, known as tailings, holds substantial amount of water along with clays and fugitive bitumen. Current polymer-based dewatering technologies are centred on acrylamide-based polymers such as polyacrylamide...

Spring 2018
Wetness perceptions in socks are an aspect of comfort. A bench scale measurement technique -- Algorithmic Image Analysis (AIA) -- to assess the liquid moisture distribution in sock fabrics, and relate them to wetness perceptions, is developed in this thesis. In AIA, the measurement of spread...
