Results of recent researches of large pool fires are reviewed. Researches on combustion characteristics of large petroleum fires have been conducted by many research groups. To do large fire experiments costs very much and huge open space is taken, but it is important to conduct large scale experiments for obtaining information of large real tank fires. Therefore, in order to promote large pool...

The dwindling nature of petroleum and other fossil reserves has provided impetus towards microbial synthesis of fuels and value added chemicals from biomass-derived sugars as a renewable resource. Microbes have naturally evolved enzymes and pathways that can convert biomass into hundreds of unique chemical structures, a property that can be effectively exploited for their engineering into Micro...

the prediction of lithology is necessary in all areas of petroleum engineering. this means that todesign a project in any branch of petroleum engineering, the lithology must be well known. supportvector machines (svm’s) use an analytical approach to classification based on statistical learningtheory, the principles of structural risk minimization, and empirical risk minimization. in thisresearc...
