A further look at Archard’s Equation to extract additional information from the material loss ~ load curve
DownloadFall 2018
Rahman, Abu Hasnat Mohammad Azadur
Archard’s wear equation has been widely used in industry for preliminary selection of materials mainly based on hardness. According to Archard’s equation, the material wear rate is linearly proportional to the normal force. However, the wear rate or material volume loss per unit sliding distance...

A Model Study on Water Soluble Polymeric Nanofibers for Rapid Flocculation and Enhanced Dewatering of Fine Oil Sands Tailings Simulated Through Kaolin
DownloadFall 2018
Nanofibers are fibers with diameters lower than 100 nm, traditionally made from natural or synthetic polymers. Properties of nanofibers, such as low density, controllable surface functionality, and high surface area to volume ratio, allowed researchers to use them in a multitude of applications...

A Molecular Dynamics Approach towards the Interfacial Properties of Sulfide- and Clay-Minerals
DownloadSpring 2019
Interfacial properties have a regulatory role in processes which involve the coexistence of different phases. Although such macro-scale properties are determined by the intrinsic nature of the interface-sharing phases, it is possible to alter them in favor of the process objectives. This,...

A molecular dynamics modeling study on the mechanical behavior of nano-twinned Cu and relevant issues
DownloadFall 2010
As a candidate for dynamic electric contacts, Nano-twinned copper has intrinsic conductivity and enhanced fretting resistance. To better understand its general mechanical behavior, we conduct molecular dynamics simulation studies to investigate responses of nano-twinned copper to stress and to...

A molecular dynamics simulation study on Bauschinger’s effect in nano-scaled Cu systems with and without interfaces
DownloadSpring 2013
Employing the molecular dynamics simulation method, we investigated the responses of nano-scaled Cu systems, including single crystal(SC), and crystals with twin boundaries(TW) and grain boundaries(GB) to cyclic deformation in different strain ranges. Bauschinger’s effect occurring during the...

A molecular dynamics simulation study on the deformation behavior for nanotwinned polycrystalline copper
DownloadSpring 2012
Present research is focused on the mechanical behavior of nanoscale copper with growth twins. Atomistic calculation (Molecular Dynamics simulation) with embedded-atom method potential was used to study the fundamental deformation processes that occur in columnar nanocrystalline copper. The...

A Molecular Dynamics Study of the Dissolution of Asphaltene Model Compounds in Supercritical Fluids
DownloadSpring 2011
The demand for a new solvent to treat oilsands was behind the purpose of this project; molecular dynamics simulation was used in this study. Supercritical water, supercritical carbon dioxide and other selected organic solvents in their supercritical state were studied. Meso-tetraphenyl porphyrin...

A NEW APPROACH TO MODEL FRICTION LOSSES IN THE WATER-ASSISTED PIPELINE TRANSPORTATION OF HEAVY OIL AND BITUMEN
DownloadSpring 2016
Water lubricated pipe flow technology is an economic alternative for the long distance transportation of viscous oils like heavy oil and bitumen. The lubricated flow regime involves an oil-rich core surrounded by a turbulent water annulus. Energy consumption associated with this type of pipeline...

A Novel Approach to Delay Thermal and Autoxidative Fouling Caused by Aromatics in Heavy oil and Petrochemicals Using Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol
DownloadSpring 2023
Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) is a widely used solvent. It is a preferred solvent since it is derived from biomass. Multiple patents have reported that adding THFA during heavy oil processing improves the efficiency of the process and increases the yield. One patent for instance reported that...
