An efficient design of in situ combustion depends on accurate kinetic modeling of the crude oil oxidation. The kinetic triplet of the oxidation reactions of a heavy oil sample was investigated. Once the kinetic triplet is known, the kinetic equation would be deconvolved. The crude oil sample was obtained from Kuh-E-Mond reservoir, located in the southwest of Iran. The samples were analyzed usin...

In view of improved control of the combustion process in e.g. industrial glass furnaces, accurate in-situ COgas sensors are required. With help of reliable in-situ gas sensors, burner control can be optimised. By better burner control, NOx emissions can be reduced and the radiative heat transfer from combustion chamber to the glass melt and thus the energy efficiency of glass furnaces can be im...

despite the great potential of graphene as a nanofiller, achieving homogeneous dispersion remains the key challenge for effectively reinforcing polyolefin (such as polyethylene (pe) and polypropylene (pp)) nanocomposites. therefore, in this research, we report a facile combined in situ polymerization and masterbatch method for fabricating pp/reduced graphene oxide (rgo) nanocomposites. in the p...

As scientific supercomputing moves toward petascale and exascale, in-situ visualization clearly becomes the most costeffective way to enable scientists see the full extent of the data generated by their simulations. This is particularly crucial for capturing and understanding highly intermittent transient phenomena, e.g. ignition/extinction events in turbulent combustion. However, integrating t...

Ethnomethodology is an established method of research in technology related fields. In work settings, ethnomethodology has helped researchers to deepen their understanding of how collaborative activities unfold in a social context. While much collaboration is now carried out online, through distributed teams for example, ethnomethodology, as a method of analysis, has not received considerable i...
