Spring 2012
The concept of producing electricity by using a dedicated energy crop has initiated many research projects in the recent past. Triticale, a hybrid between wheat and rye, has gained the attention of researchers as a feasible future energy crop for Canada. The study focuses on the techno-economic...

Validation and Testing of a Numerical Model for the Design and Up-Scaling of Low Temperature Difference Stirling Engines
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis presents the experimental validation, testing and review of a numerical model for low temperature difference Stirling engines (LTDSEs). The research of LTDSEs is motivated by the potential use of low temperature heat as an unconventional sustainable energy source. An experimental...

This thesis work concerns the viscous fingering instability occurring during immiscible fluid-fluid displacement experiments using a novel radially-tapered fluidic cell. We use modified Hele-Shaw cells where a negative depth gradient is introduced by tapering the upper plate, so that the gap...
