The steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is the most commonly employed process for extraction of oil or bitumen from oil sands reservoirs. This process involves injection of large quantity of steam into the oil reservoir. The injected steam is further recovered as produced water which constitutes high concentrations of hydrocarbons and mineral salts. Due to […]

The main objective of this internship is to build a software tool, which will be incorporated on board a test aircraft, in order to indicate to the pilot areas where the cosmic radiation intensity and energy could affect the immunity of electronic modules installed onboard aircraft. For analysis and design purposes, the measurement system inside […]

The basic objective of the proposed research is to undertake diagnostic assessment of critical airport systems, specifically the baggage handling system, passenger boarding tunnels and pedestrian bridges using vibration measurements. The underlying premise is that the overall health of these systems is manifested in their vibration measurements. By undertaking such an interrogation, it will be […]

Large network operators have to deal with dynamic network service changes, including scheduled or unscheduled outages, while keeping efficient service levels with different requirements. Currently available restoration techniques remain limited to after the fact detection of hard or catastrophic failures when the service has already been impacted. Machine learning technologies have been explored as a […]

The voltage source converter VSC mimicking the behavior of a synchronous machine provides many advantages for grid operation. This “virtual synchronous generator (VSG)” will be implemented as a real-time simulator model on the RTDS simulator and used to investigate several operating scenarios. The VS G behaves like a synchronous machine, which is one of the […]

Global warming and climate change have been increasingly attracting the attention of researchers and the public in the past few decades. It is believed in the scientific community that climate change is a direct effect of the increase of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a promising solution for […]

Copper-based antimicrobial coatings could play a significant role in reducing infections in hospitals and care facilities, reducing spoilage in consumer appliances, and reducing fouling on the hulls of ships. In this project, the development of copper-based coatings will be pursued for a wide variety of surfaces using paints and other advanced coating technologies. The chemical […]

Les surfaces sont exposées au dépôt de divers type de bactéries présents dans leur environnement favorisant par la suite la contamination de la surface. Ceci défini un problème majeur dans divers domaines comme par exemple la diminution des rendements dans les industries agro-alimentaires, pharmaceutiques ce qui a contribué à l’augmentation des coûts de production. Les […]

This project will develop the enabling technologies for next generation infrared sensors. Although infrared imaging was historically developed for military applications, the biggest opportunities for growth are in commercial markets. Infrared imaging is recognized as an important green technology because of its numerous applications in environmental monitoring, thermography, process control, and inspection and maintenance of […]

In the pipeline industry, the heat shrink sleeves (HSS) are the protective layer usually composed of two layers, namely, an adhesive layer and a crosslinked backing layer such as polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE). In order to maintain the desired properties of HSS, each of the layers must maintain their properties during processing, storage, and […]

A new therapy was developed in order to combat cancers by stimulating our immune system to fight agents the cancer cells in the body. The activated immune system is more efficient to fight the cancer cells than the common drugs, but stimulating the immune system is very expensive and labour-intensive with the currently developed protocols. […]

From 2014-2018, Krown Corporation, a pioneer in corrosion treatment, partnered with University of Windsor Faculty of Engineering researchers to conduct a comprehensive assessment on how to measure and assess the degree of corrosion on a vehicle, so that it may be communicated to the vehicle owner. This preliminary research demonstrated that a corrosion metric, and […]
