The formation of vortices and their interaction with the aircraft wing and body is one the most interesting problems in aerodynamics. These vortices are usually generated and convected from different parts of the lift providing devices. Their interaction with the flow field, can case unsteady force and vibration. At some configurations, it can alter the […]

CENNATEK Bioanalytical Services Inc. is leading a R&D project with the goal of using Jerusalem artichoke as a feedstock for the production of ethanol, inulin and biomass pellets. The Jerusalem artichoke crop contains large amounts of carbohydrates, mainly inulin, which can be converted to sugars such as fructose. Fructose is used as a sweetener in […]

La production de biocarburants possédant de faibles intensités de carbone requiert la mise en place de procédés optimisés permettant de valoriser au maximum le carbone biogénique. La mise à l’échelle de démonstration de nouvelles technologies représente donc une aventure risquée, et la conception d’une usine génère souvent des questions devant être répondues rapidement afin de […]

Polymer ferroelectrets are light weight and flexible materials that display piezoelectric behaviour. These properties make them ideal for use as transducers in the aerospace industry. However, the traditional methods used to prepare high performance polymer ferroelectrets cannot be used for large scale manufacturing due to poor reproducibility or high cost. Furthermore, these manufacturing techniques rely […]

Cancers are treated today with the appropriate combination of chemotherapy drugs, surgery and radiation. Chemotherapy is almost invariably dosed intravenously, and enters the systemic blood flow where it circulates around the whole body, coming into contact with healthy cells as well as cancerous ones. This systemic dosing has two big problems: too little drug gets […]

The project deal with identifying the sources of waste heat recovery in the industries located in Hamilton Bayfront area and utilizing the available waste heat in either within the process of waste heat generator or utilizing the energy in any of the partner industry. The project also deal with harnessing the waste heat and utilizing […]

The research in this Master’s project is focused on documenting and analyzing the contemporary costs associated with maintaining and/or developing agricultural dykeland and the costs associated with the development of upland. It will also recognize the evolution of land development equipment and identify modern equipment and technologies appropriate to maximize agricultural potential on both dykeland […]

Le projet proposé vise à développer un système d’aide à la détection et à la localisation des défauts présents sur les photographiques aériennes par intelligence artificielle, et plus particulièrement par l’utilisation des réseaux de neurones convolutifs. Ces derniers sont reconnus pour leur performance en vision par ordinateur, notamment dans la détection automatisée d’éléments fournis à […]

In the last decade optimization is expanded in many applications from food production to sophisticated applications such as engine fuel efficiency. In the proposed package, it is tried to apply optimization techniques along with physics based analytical and semi-analytical methodologies to create a compelling framework which can help thermal-process based oil industry to reduce their […]

La source LDTD-APCI ou source d thermo d6sorption par photodiode laser (Laser Diode Thermal D6sorption – Atmospheric Pressure Chemical lonization) est un appareil unique, developpe r6cemment par la compagnie Phytronix lnc de Qu6bec. Cette source d’ionisation particulidrement douce coupl6e avec un spectromdtre de masse de haute r6solution permet de simplifier I’appareillage analytique courant de type […]

Coking is one of the most corrosive and abrasive environments in the refinery with a temperature of over 1000 F under high pressure condition. The function of the coker valve is to transport the fuel from heavy crude oil. Therefore these coker valves used more subject to failure than other valves used. It is crucial […]

The objective of this project is to optimize traffic in open pit and underground mines, in order to safely maximize production and minimize costs. The intent is that this will be done by causing vehicles to move at their maximum safe speed while at the same time choreographing mine traffic to give loaded vehicles the […]
