Chaque année, 32 000 Canadiens subissent un traumatisme crânio-cérébral (TCC) lors de la pratique d’un sport, le cyclisme faisant partie des sports les plus à risque. Pour protéger les cyclistes, l’entreprise Louis Garneau Sports conçoit depuis plus de 30 ans des casques de vélo visant à rendre plus sécuritaire la pratique de ce sport. L’objectif […]

There are significant increases in the need of using service robots to adopt the roles of delivery vehicles and personal assistants. Atlantic Business Express is looking at bring the service robots to Canada, starting in Nova Scotia through working with Dalhousie University. The project is to improve the intelligent human-robot interaction interfaces for mobile service […]

The challenges and problems concerning the energy crisis, environmental protection and also global warming force human societies to use alternative green and renewable energy resources instead of conventional resources. In this regard, hydrogen gas as an important energy carrier has been noticed seriously. This project aims to concentrate on the CFD simulation of a solar […]

As the main product of many renewable power plants, hydrogen plays a substantial role in the transition from the use of fossil fuels to renewable energy resources. Hydrogen can be liquefied, enhancing its desirability as an energy carrier. An innovative integrated structure for hydrogen and CO2 liquefaction from biomass and wind energy is proposed. It […]

Ce projet de recherche a comme objectifs de formuler et de fabriquer des matériaux bitumineux pour la réparation des chaussées asphaltées qui ont une empreinte environnementale la plus faible possible. Pour ce faire, les stagiaires étudieront la possibilité d’ajouter des bardeaux d’asphalte recyclés de même que des enrobés bitumineux recyclés aux produits qui serviront au […]

Fogging and icing of surfaces is an issue that abords applications as diverse as the medical, the automotive, or the photovoltaic field. Even, it can represent a risk when present lenses and windshields, it dangerously reduces the field of view for the user. To address this problem, surface treatments based on coatings and chemical modifications […]

One of the major problems listed by many energy companies is flow assurance which involves significant efforts and costs to prevent hydrate blockages in the oil and gas facilities. Gas hydrate forms so rapidly and without warning in the offshore pipelines relative to waxes, scales, or asphaltenes. Although the hydrate plug formation rate is fast, […]

Knee osteoarthritis is a disabling disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Knee braces have been adopted as a treatment strategy to help manage osteoarthritis pain. These braces apply a force to the knee, which, in theory, reduces the joint loads in the knee. They also however change the way people walk, which can also reduce […]

Remote areas have the world’s highest death rates and cost of operations. As the global community struggles with shared problems including pandemics and climate change, connecting remote areas with the global community is becoming increasingly important. The current economic model of remote areas is dominated by reliance on oil, yet oil supplies are not reliable […]

The project is partnered with Aslan Renewables based in Prince Edward Island (PEI), the company focuses on the energy generation from the wastewater flows. This work aims at the analysis of energy harvesting from wastewater flow applications for open channel flows. The computation fluid dynamics (CFD) approach using ANSYS will be implemented for the analysis […]

Ce projet porte sur l’optimisation d’un procédé de pyrolyse de déchets plastiques permettant de produire du carburant Diesel. L’originalité du programme réside dans l’utilisation d’une unité de production en lot ne nécessitant pas de tour à distiller ce qui constitue une première mondiale. Des études paramétriques seront réalisées pour définir des conditions opératoires permettant de […]
