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...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of mechanical responses of bacteria under hypoosmotic pressure
DownloadFall 2024
Bacteria represent a type of ubiquitous pathogen that respond to environmental changes such as osmotic pressure due to their cellular structure. Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria have distinct structure, including a plasma membrane and cell wall. The primary difference between them...

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Solar Molten Media Methane Cracking for Hydrogen Production
DownloadFall 2014
Canada is the largest H2 consumer per capita in the world, giving a strong market demand for H2. H2 is commercially produced using steam CH4 reforming, which is energy and CO2 intensive. Solar molten metal CH4 cracking is an alternative zero emissions technology. Solar radiation is focused with...

Experimental and theoretical studies on the particle formation process of particles for the improvement of pulmonary drug delivery
DownloadFall 2016
The formation of dry microparticles from evaporating solution droplets was investigated and analyzed. The particle formation involved the creation and production of spray dried microparticles used for the delivery of drugs to treat pulmonary diseases. Studies of particle formation were conducted...
