Numerical methods of permeation fluid mechanics for black oil (water, oil and gas)--three compound combination flooding (polymer, surface active agent and alkali) in porous media is discussed in this paper. A mechanics model of three-phase flow (water, oil and gas)--three compound combination flooding (the polymer, surface active agent and alkali) is presented firstly, then a numerical algorith...

Biomass derived fuels are preferred as alternative fuels for IC engine due to its abundant availability and renewable nature. In the present work, the complete replacement of diesel fuel with bio-fuels is studied, where the bio-fuels, namely, methyl ester of palm kernel oil and eucalyptus oil were chosen and used as fuel in the form of blends. Various proportions of palm kernel oil and eucalypt...

abstract:any effects of wood coating with different compounds as nano-zinc, nano-chitosan, chitosan, silicon oil and flaxseed oil on surface properties as; wood color change, surface roughness and wettability were studied in the current research work. for this purpose, sample boards of beech wood were cut into sizes of 2×10×20cm. the specimens were coated with the noticed coatings and tested fo...

We incubated pink salmon embryos under three exposure conditions, direct contact with oil-coated gravel, effluent from oil-coated gravel, and direct contact with gravel coated with very weathered oil (VWO). Embryo mortalities and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) accumulation in embryo tissues during the direct-contact and effluent exposure experiments were not significantly different, ind...

There are reports of gas and oil wells fire due to different accidents. Many different methods are used for fire fighting in gas and oil industry. Traditional fire extinguishing techniques are mostly faced with many problems and are usually time consuming and needs lots of equipments. Besides, they cause damages to facilities, and create health and environmental problems. This article proposes ...

The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial effect of Helichrysum arenarium L. essential oil in "invitro" condition on the growth of seven microbial species including Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Saccharomyces cereviciae, Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus using micro-dilution method. The minimum inhibitory concentration ...

This report analyzes the technical aspects and the economics of utilizing nuclear reactor to provide the energy needed for a Canadian oil sands extraction facility using SteamAssisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technology. The energy from the nuclear reactor would replace the need for energy supplied by natural gas, which is currently burned at these facilities. There are a number of concerns surr...

Process to process material and heat integration strategies for bio-oil integrated gasification and methanol synthesis (BOIG-MeOH) systems were developed to assess their technological and economic feasibility. Distributed bio-oil generations and centralised processing enhance resource flexibility and technological feasibility. Economic performance depends on the integration of centralised BOIG-...

Disposal of concentrate from brackish water desalination plants by deep well injection into oil and gas fields is an attractive option in Texas. Underpressured depleted oil and gas reservoirs cover large areas of the state. Six areas were selected from across Texas for detailed analysis. These sites were characterized by abundant brackish groundwater, a projected shortage of freshwater, deplete...

The present study has been carried to the different parameters for establishment of cold press oil extraction unit. Calculated production cost groundnut by considering all and determined breakeven point unit at market prices. Study revealed that, within 2 years business will achieve Rs. 310 as price. Breakeven determination gives clarity about which effects on establishment. Entrepreneur had fa...
