Development of a predictive model for the VAPEX process.
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-11)Heavy oil in-situ recovery in Canada is largely achieved through energy intensive and en- vironmentally detrimental steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). By exchanging steam for a vapour solvent, it has been shown ... -
Dynamic Scheduling and Control of MEA Absorption Processes for CO2 Capture Using gProms
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-03)There are three general approaches for the mitigation of carbon emissions from fossil fuel fired power plants; pre-combustion, oxyfuel and post-combustion carbon capture. The post-combustion absorption process using MEA ... -
Iterative Coupled Shell/Tube Simulation of Waste Heat Boilers using Computational Multiphysics
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-02)Removal of sulphur from fossil fuels is important in order to avoid the emission of sulphur oxides into the atmosphere, exposure to which has negative health and environ- mental effects. Sulphur is removed from refinery ... -
Predictive Modeling of a PEMFC Cathode Humidifier
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-22)The durability and performance of commercially available polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) technology depends heavily on adequate humidification of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Early generation ... -
Simulation-Assisted Analysis and Design of Microfluidic Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-25)The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a method by which sample DNA can be sequentially copied in order to increase the concentration of the sample DNA so that it can be measured directly. Interestingly, only specific DNA ...
