In order to address the growing need for urban composting of organic matter, Bomford Studios has successfully created a working prototype putrescent organics processing unit (the Loki Digester), which breaks down organic matter into fertilizer suitable for both gardens and large-scale farms. Working with Camosun Innovates, Bomford intends to create a more robust, user-friendly, and […]

This project focuses on developing a mixed wettability surface to improve the freshwater yield of a solar thermal desalination system. The solar desalination system that will be used for this project is the solar still system. The objective is to find the optimized ratio of high wettability to low wettability area on a polymeric surface […]

Modern power systems wherein renewable resources such as solar and wind power are extensively used need to rely on some means for energy storage to address the intermittency of such resources. This proposal investigates a class of power electronic converters that are able to connect battery energy systems to the grid and provide multi-directional pathways […]

As part of its services, GE Aviation provides rapid repairs for engines, including borescope inspection/blending, line replaceable unit (LRU), fan module, gearbox repair/removal, and many additional workscopes. One of this repair service centers around airfoils. During flight, the compressor and turbine airfoils get damaged by dust and other contaminants. During the overhaul process, the airfoils […]

The precise mass measurement of exotic nuclei is of special significance to the understanding of the nuclear shell structure and paving the way to shed light on how the heavy elements in universe were made from iron. A Multiple-Reflection Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry has been developed at the Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany and installed […]

Inspections are carried out on machinery equipment to evaluate the equipment condition and to take necessary maintenance actions to prevent failures. Hinton Pulp, a Division of West Fraser mills have a 30-day inspection interval for vibration inspections on rotating assets. The fixed inspection interval adopted by the Hinton Pulp for vibration inspections are not effective […]

Galium Nitride (GaN) technology compared to the conventional silicon and silicon carbide technologies gives better switching performance in terms of switching losses and switching speed. Also, since GaN Fets do not have intrinsic body diode as in Si and SiC based switching MOSFETS, they can work at much higher frequencies in room temperature, leading to […]

Real-time prediction of incoming turbulence has important practical utility in the control and monitoring of fluid systems. Flow estimation using smart sensing techniques will improve our ability to predict and control these flows. However, current sensor-based flow reconstruction methods have not been tested to effectively resolve multi-scale, chaotic and unsteady turbulent phenomena that are commonly […]

ConocoPhillips Canada (CPC) is evaluating transformational technologies to reduce GHGs by up to 90% allowing for efficient Alberta resource development on a per barrel and supply cost basis in a carbon-constrained, globally competitive market. Warm applied solvent process refers to pre-heated solvents that are injected/co-injected with steam as an elimination/evolution of the current Steam Assisted […]

CubeSat NB is a first?of?its?kind partnership among the New Brunswick Community College (NBCC), the Université de Moncton (UdeM), and the University of New Brunswick (UNB) as we jointly develop New Brunswick’s first satellite, named VIOLET after our provincial flower. An undergraduate computer science intern will work to improve software development for our ground station operation […]

The intern will be participating in a multifaceted and interdisciplinary project involving a case study on the current commercially avialable low emissions technologies and emerging renewable energy technologies. They will create social media marketing content to spur interest and careers in these sectors by attracting Canada’s brightest young innovators and entrepreneurs. Through partnership with the […]

Due to global trends changing from conventional vehicles(Gasoline) to electric vehicles. In electric vehicles every manufacture company want to reduce the mass of vehicles and my research is on Design Optimization of Helical Coil Suspension using ANSYS in this improving design of suspension system using advanced optimization techniques like response surface method and by using […]
