The proposed research aims to develop better computer simulation tools for the study of large electrical power systems. The premise of the research is based upon the concept of co-simulation, wherein two specialized computer simulation tools, each with unique features and strengths, are used in conjunction to solve a large electrical system. In the particular […]

On veut créer un logiciel en Réalité Augmentée capable de fournir à un opérateur travaillant dans une cour à bois toutes les informations dont il a besoin pour effectuer un travail de manutention dans cette cour. Pour cela, le système doit être capable de connaître en temps réel les positions des tous les paquets ainsi […]

Le but de cette étude est de réaliser une séparation magnétique de la magnétite (oxyde de fer) contenue dans le résidu de bauxite calciné, dans le but de le valoriser. L’étude se déroule en plusieurs volets : la caractérisation du résidu de bauxite, l’investigation et l’évaluation de méthode de séparation et le développement d’un modèle […]

Transportation of the oil and gas through pipelines network remains a crucial infrastructure for sustaining the economic growth of Canada. A major concern has been the frequent incidents of oil spills which can cause catastrophic failures if remained undetected. Despite a plethora of Leak Detection Systems being used with state-of-the-art technologies, these monitoring systems can […]

Pipelines are a common means to transport oil, gas, and other petroleum products used by citizens in everyday life. These pipelines sometimes traverse slopes, where soil movement caused by erosion or excessive precipitation can lead to pipeline damage which may result in release of product to the environment. The results of this study will allow […]

NEXEN has proposed a novel and advanced thermal EOR technique for oil sands recovery, which is both economically efficient and environmentally sustainable as compared to current thermal oil recovery method (SAGD). The focus of this research project is to investigate, analyze, improve, and design heat transfer modeling and control strategies for proposed enhanced oil sands […]

Annually over a million scrap tires are generated in Saskatchewan which in the past have been disposed of in landfills and streams. At the same time, Saskatchewan has also experienced a drastic increase in truck traffic on roadway infrastructure that is ageing. This has resulted in the need for the construction of new roads and […]

In this project we will employ melt compounding to obtain finely delaminated graphite/polypropylene composites, suitable for automotive applications. The targeted applications involve composites having electrostatic dissipative properties and high flexural modulus. High purity graphite, prepared by a proprietary method developed by the sponsoring organization, Grafoid, will be melt compounded with polypropylene and polypropylene-based thermoplastic olefin […]

Dans un objectif d’accroissement des ventes au courant des cinq prochaines années, Lowe’s-Rona a pour objectifs de doubler les ventes et de conquérir de nouvelles parts de marché en proposant à la vente de l’électroménager. Pour cela, il est nécessaire de réaliser une étude afin de voir si dans le processus actuel, une telle charge […]

Design tradeoff must be made between the scientific payload and the spacecraft platform in a space mission. Scientists often want to have as many instruments as possible on the spacecraft and they also want to be able to use those instruments until the end of the mission. The scientist’s desire for many instruments translates to […]

La ceinture lombaire est une orthèse couramment utilisée suite à une blessure au bas du dos. Elle est utilisée dans différents contextes, tant au niveau de la réhabilitation, que lors de la pratique de sports. Malheureusement, les experts de la santé ne recommandent pas l’utilisation d’une ceinture lombaire, car elle ne favorise pas le renforcement […]

Sound barriers can be seen beside highways across Ontario and are designed to protect residents from the noise produced by traffic. However, these barriers do little in the way of protecting residents from the pollution produced by nearby vehicles. This project will help determine the ability of the SmogStop® barrier to reduce the level of […]
