Prediction of Major Pollutants Emission in Direct-Injection Dual-Fuel Diesel And Natural-Gas Engines

The dual-fuel diesel engine (D.F.D.E) is a conventional diesel engine in which much of the energy released, hence power, comes from the combustion of gaseous fuel such as natural gas. The exhaust emission characteristics of the D.F.D.E needs further refinements, particularly in terms of reduction of Unburnt Hydrocarbons (U7HC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission, because the concentration of thes...

Major Natural Disasters in China, 1985–2014: Occurrence and Damages

This study aimed to describe the characteristics of natural disasters and associated losses from 1985 to 2014. The Mann-Kendall method was used to detect any long-term trends and abrupt changes. Hotspot analysis was conducted to detect the spatial clusters of disasters. We found an increasing trend in the occurrence of integrated natural disasters (tau = 0.594, p < 0.001), particularly for floo...

Static Control in PE Fuel Gas Pipe

Why address this issue? As of 2002, 525,959 miles (or about 46%) of gas distribution mains in the US were plastic and PE is the material of choice for distributors. It doesn’t corrode, doesn’t need cathodic protection and has a life of at least 100 years. It is a remarkable fuel gas distribution material. During a Plastic Pipe Fuel Gas Symposium I attended, a southern California gas distributor...

Identify blockchain technology strategies in the oil and gas industry

The purpose of the research is to identify blockchain technology strategies in the oil and gas industry. In this research, the mixed research method has been used. In the qualitative part of the research community, there were experts in the field of blockchain technology, 12 of whom were purposefully selected for in-depth interviews. Open and axial coding was used to analyze the data. The stati...
