Spring 2016
Effect of rotation on dynamcis of flow in microchannels is studied. In the frist study, an analytical solution is developed for the unsteady flow of fluid through a parallel rotating plate microchannel, under the influence of electrokinetic force using the Debye–Hückel (DH) approximation....

Scenario-Based Assessment and Projection of Water Use for the Canadian Oil and Gas Sector and Several Low-carbon Technologies Available to the Oil Sands
DownloadSpring 2023
The Canadian oil and gas sector is a significant contributor to Canada’s economy, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and water use. Society is increasingly focused on GHG emissions, and it is broadly recognized that GHG reductions in the oil and gas sector have an important role in Canada’s meeting...

Screw-Propelled Omni-Directional Robot: Automation of Waypoint Navigation and Control System Integration
DownloadSpring 2024
Helix-25 is a screw-propelled mobile robot designed by Copperstone Technologies® to survey hazardous ponds and fields. Currently this robot is manually operated, which may not be feasible during various circumstances. The control strategies for screw propelled robots have been limited, with a...

Spring 2023
The mechanics of composite materials is a subject of intense study due to their versatile and tailorable mechanical properties. A composite material consists of at least two different phases; one is called the reinforcing phase and the other one in which it is embedded is called the matrix phase....
