Fall 2016
The success of commercial applicability of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) depends on the cost competitiveness with respect to current energy sources. A major fraction of the system cost can be mitigated by reducing the amount of platinum (Pt) catalyst in the electrodes and by improving...

Spring 2024
This study characterized flare-like flame emissions and improved methods of reducing flare emissions during well completion operations in the upstream oil and gas industries. Flowback fluids are water-based solutions that return to the earth’s surface with extracted oil and gas during and after...

Fall 2018
Understanding the movement of water within a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell is critical for improving performance at high loads. In this work, an experimental setup was designed and assembled for monitoring the in situ distribution of water contained within the anode and cathode of...

Experimental and numerical investigation of atraumatic tooth extraction biomechanics in an ex vivo swine model
DownloadFall 2024
Tooth extraction (exodontia) is among the most common surgical procedures in healthcare, driven by the prevalence of tooth decay and periodontal disease. Traditionally, tooth extraction is completed with forceps and the exertion of combined loads about the tooth’s centre of rotation. This...

Spring 2019
In recent years, rail transport of Canadian crude oil and coal has grown. While transportation of oil and coal by rail has demonstrated benefits, it has also raised significant concerns about transportation safety and potential impacts to the environment. In this regards, rolling contact fatigue...

Experimental and Techno-economic Studies of Pipeline Hydro-transport of Agricultural Residue Biomass to a Biorefinery
DownloadFall 2014
Pipeline hydro-transport of agricultural residue biomass to bio-based energy facilities, e.g. a bio-refinery, is considered to be a more economically favorable method than truck delivery. Pipeline hydro-transport not only benefits from economy of scale, but also reduces the environmental and...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of mass transport in porous media of a PEM fuel cell
DownloadFall 2011
Porous media is an integral part of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) electrodes. In this study, an experimental setup is presented to investigate convective and diffusive mass transport in porous media of fuel cell electrodes. A new theoretical model was developed in order to correct for...
