LI, CHONG, Ph.D., June 2009, Chemical Engineering Effect of Corrosion Inhibitor on Water Wetting and Carbon Dioxide Corrosion In Oil-Water Two-Phase Flow (198 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Srdjan Nesic The internal corrosion of flowlines and pipelines made from carbon steel is encountered in the oil and gas industry. The corrosion process is primarily associated with the presence of free water...

Regional crops distribution is an import subject for developing modern agriculture now. Based on existing distribution of 7 grain and oil crops in Sichuan province, this paper chose 5 economic evaluation indexes to discuss the regional distribution of grain and oil corps in Sichuan with the method of grey situation decision. According to the row decision and column decision, this paper shows th...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of nanoemulsion formulation for topical delivery of Clobetasol propionate (CP) using algal oil (containing omega-3 fatty acids) as the oil phase. CP has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antiproliferative activities. However, its clinical use is restricted to some extent due to its poor permeability across the skin. Algal oil w...

A series of experiments was carried out using a dual sensor conductance probe to measure the local axial oil velocity distribution and the local oil volume fraction distribution in vertical, oil in water bubbly flows in an 80mm diameter vertical pipe. Values of the water superficial velocity were in the range 0.276 1 ms to 0.417 1 ms , values of the oil superficial velocity were in the range 0....

We describe a protocol for preparing very stable air-in-oil foams starting with a one-phase oil solution of a fatty acid (myristic acid) in high oleic sunflower oil at high temperature. Upon cooling below the solubility limit, a two-phase mixture consisting of fatty acid crystals (length around 50 μm) dispersed in an oil solution at its solubility is formed which, after whipping, coat air bubbl...

3H-labeled glycerol triether has been suggested as a marker of the oil phase during digestion and absorption of a lipid test meal. This study examines the behavior of this isotope in the human alimentary tract. The results suggest that it is completely recovered from the gastrointestinal tract, and thus it remains solely with the oil phase of emulsions in vivo and with the oil phase of intestin...

– Ideal bosons and classical ring polymers formed via self-assembly, are known to have the same partition function, and so analogous phase transitions. In ring polymers, the analogue of Bose-Einstein condensation occurs when a ring polymer of macroscopic size appears. We show that a transition of the same general form occurs within a whole class of systems with self-assembly, and illustrate it ...

We provide evidence of single attoliter oil droplet collisions at the surface of an ultra-microelectrode (UME) by the observation of simultaneous electrochemical current transients (i-t curves) and electrogenerated chemiluminescent (ECL) transients in an oil/water emulsion. An emulsion system based on droplets of toluene and tri-n-propylamine (2:1 v/v) emulsified with an ionic liquid and suspen...
