As the demand for oil and gas resources increases pipeline construction pushes further into the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. Consequently, these buried pipelines suffer much harsh environmental and complex loading conditions. Moreover, to increase the transporting efficiency, larger size pipes...

The world energy demand is constantly increasing and fossil fuels are still by far the main energy resource that supplies the world energy consumption market, therefore increasing oil recovery from all types of reservoirs is an important matter. The burning of fossil fuels for energy purposes, on...

Oxygen presence during thermal desorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from adsorbent can promote heel build-up and loss of adsorption capacity, which reduces the performance of adsorbent in a cyclic adsorption/desorption process. The heel build-up, in some cases, could be attributed to...

Adsorption is the most common method for controlling volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission from automotive painting process. However, unwanted accumulation of adsorbate during cycling (heel buildup) is a common challenge in this process. The objective of this research is to identify the...

Stope layout optimization is a critical process for the evaluation and optimization of underground mining operations. Conventionally, stopes layouts are either planned manually or optimized using deterministic methods. Developing stochastic approaches to stope optimization is valuable due to the...

Landslides include various forms of geological mass movements such as falls, slides and flows under the force of gravity. Predictions of landslide kinematics and dynamics require knowledge of flow behaviour and mathematical modeling. Research into the flow behaviour of granular materials has...
