Buried pipeline systems form a key part of effective and safe infrastructures for the transportation of natural resources such as natural gas and liquid. However, they may be constructed in areas prone to landslides where ground movement may exert excessive strains on the pipe sections causing rupture. This project develops and presents a methodology for […]

Les fourgonnettes de livraison commerciales doivent éteindre et redémarrer leur moteur à combustion interne plusieurs fois par jour (plus de 100 fois). Ces démarrages fréquents sollicitent intensivement l’ensemble du circuit de puissance électrique 12 Vcc. En conséquence, l’accumulateur plomb-acide, l’alternateur ou le démarreur sont remplacés à chaque année de façon préventive afin d’éviter des pannes […]

The research project aims to make pipelines in the Arctic safer and more cost-effective. It’s like finding the best way to protect a vital lifeline underwater from ice bumps. By studying how the ice, the seabed, and the pipeline interact, we’ll figure out the smartest way to bury the pipeline and the material to put […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Smart grid (SG) aims at modernizing the current power grid which can better manage the electricity through the grid and react to the system faults quicker. To realize this goal, many sensors are attached to different points of the power grid infrastructure. These sensors collect data and can be used for controlling, protecting, and monitoring […]

This research project focuses on developing a compressed air energy transmission system as an alternative to the current electrical energy transmission system. Compressed air has the potential to be an efficient and cost-effective solution for storing energy from renewable sources like wind and solar. The project will focus on improving the efficiency of current compressed […]

In the proposed project, a series of computer-aided simulations will be conducted to determine the thermal behaviour of engine components in the presence of a fire inside the engine. The goal is to predict the heat transfer rate into the components, and the behaviour of the oil found inside those components. Results of this work […]

This project aims to develop a fuel cell-powered refrigerated trailer that can operate in different climatic conditions to provide cleaner transportation. Hydrogen will be the only source for refrigerated trailer operations. The present project has three objectives: to develop a thermal management system for extreme winter and summer conditions for operating the fuel cell under […]

The proposed project aims at exploring the technical and financial feasibility of integrating Photovoltaic (PV) technologies in available facades of a new multistorey building. The research consists of two main design objectives1) exploring various characteristics of available facades to functionally and aesthetically integrate PV modules, and 2) explore the feasibility of the designed PV façade […]

Suite à une panne du réseau électrique, les principaux équipements des ménages voient leur consommation énergétique s’accroître pour combler le déficit accumulé pendant la panne. Par exemple, les équipements de chauffage et de climatisation s’activeront à pleine puissance jusqu’au rétablissement des températures de consigne. Il en résulte, au niveau du réseau de distribution, une demande […]

Drilling deep holes into the earth’s crust is required to extract natural resources such as crude oil and has also been utilized in the geothermal energy industry to extract heat. Drilling these wells is carried out using long slender pipes, and due to the destructive nature of the drilling operation, these pipes undergo torsional, lateral, […]

This project focuses on assessing the commercialization viability of Rogers Communications’ investments in 5G technology, with a specific focus on smart buildings, smart cities, and smart healthcare. The project aims to support ongoing innovation projects in partnership with the University of Waterloo by evaluating their commercialization potential through qualitative research. The project will benefit Rogers […]
