From an energy production perspective, the mobile component of the turbine, the runner, plays a key role in the operation of a water turbine. In the present competitive situation of deregulated energy markets, there is a great demand for more efficient runners which can withstand severe operating conditions. Traditional trialand- error runner design methods largely […]

L’agence d’innovation et de prospective Creative Capital entreprend une démarche novatrice de planification stratégique en urbanisme rassemblant un consortium de parties prenantes diversifiées. Cette démarche consiste dans l’intégration de la circularité dans un plan directeur d’un quartier au Québec. Ce plan doit comprendre des orientations d’aménagement intégrant les principes de l’économie circulaire dans le cadre […]

Tulkita’s clients are facing challenges related to improving the operational effectiveness of IT. The objective of this research is to identify the specific areas requiring assessment, which will eventually lead to the development of an assessment tool to be used by Tulkita consultants. My research will consist of establishing the needs of Tulkita’s clients, identifying […]

Gold and silver are precious metals and are difficult to extract from ores that have complicating minerals. These complicating minerals may in other circumstances be favourable due to their copper and zinc content but are problematic when the main value is the gold and silver. In particular, these copper- and zinc-bearing minerals occupy the cyanide […]

Ever-growing concerns related to affordable housing and climate change in Canada and beyond have necessitated innovative approaches in the construction industry. The construction industry is poised for new technologies that will address the housing crisis, particularly in northern and remote areas, and mitigate infrastructure needs in flood-prone areas (e.g., retaining walls). Additive manufacturing, also known […]

Bumble bees are threatened worldwide, and among several impacts to their populations are pathogens which impact colony health and success. This is a concern for captive breeding programs aimed at enhancing populations with pathogen-free colonies. In this research we partner with Wildlife Preservation Canada who maintain breeding programs and use a novel method for detecting […]

Delayed coking is an integral process in upgrading heavy, unusable crude oil to lighter, usable products such as gasoline. Coke drums are insulated, vertically oriented cylindrical pressure vessels that facilitate such a process. Due to the process of delayed coking, these drums are subjected to cyclic thermal-mechanical loading and episodes of thermal shock. One of […]

This project aims to develop a standard that relates the loss of functionality in the porous transport layers (PTL) due to the presence of defects to the performance of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell. This work attempts to screen defects in the PTL using previously developed testing protocols. Currently there are no existing protocols […]
