In oil and gas industries, electrical heaters are often used to control the internal pipe temperature. One important criterion for such test, is to maintain a uniform temperature range during the test. The objective of this study was to evaluate the heat transfer of one design of the ... Read More
Accurate estimation of rock permeability and porosity play a crucial role in the evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. This evaluation is, however, challenging in tight formations such as shale due to the slow transition of fluid in such formations with extremely-low permeability. To ... Read More
Electrocoalescence is the phenomenon of coalescence of droplets suspended in an insulating liquid or in a gas under the action of an electric field. Electrocoalescence is considered a promising tool in many petrochemical industries for desalting crude oils. However, this technique ... Read More
In this work the authors report on a CFD simulation of a pipe flow model. Fluid mechanics are here combined with heat transfer phenomena. To create a mathematical model of a pulsed hot wire system i.e., the thermo-fluidic impulse response of a pulsed hot wire, a simulation model is going ... Read More
Waterflooding and steam-flooding are used worldwide for EOR. Recently, CO2-flooding has attracted global attention as a means of EOR as well as for carbon capture and sequestration. These processes cause significant changes over time in the fluid composition of oil reservoirs. This paper ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® is used to simulate electric currents in pore-level unconsolidated and consolidated packings of spherical grains. In a nutshell 1) Predefined particle size distribution curves and porosities are used to reconstruct unconsolidated packings; 2) A modified image ... Read More
The current work is aimed to simulate the production of high quality fatty acid methyl ester (biodiesel) production from palm oil in a micro porous ceramic membrane reactor. The TiO2/Al2O3 ceramic membrane was used as the separator and catalytic bed. It was packed with potassium ... Read More
Despite its wide use in industrial or culinary conditions, contact heating has not been extensively studied in the literature devoted to food products. This is mainly due to the difficulty in measuring in a non-invasive way the heat flux transferred as well as the thermal contact ... Read More
Nano and pico-litre sessile droplet are of large interest in many areas including pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. In particularly it can be used for drug delivery, protein testing or to control nucleation in confined environment. Industrial and research use of such methods ... Read More
Spring-supported thrust bearings are used in huge rotor dynamic machines, generally to support the shafts from the biggest hydropower generators. Any attempt of modifying yhis type of thrust bearing implies huge investment and is associated with some risks. The goal of the present work ... Read More
