Pyrolysis is a key step in the conversion of carbonaceous materials into useful products. In this study, we investigate the pyrolysis of asphaltene and oil shale, both experimentally and numerically. COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to model the combined effects of fluid flow in ... Read More
Acoustophoresis is a promising technology for the downstream processing of microalgae biorefineries(Zhang et al., 2025). By generating acoustic radiation forces and acoustic streaming, it enables precise manipulation of particles within an acoustic standing field of a microfluidic chip ... Read More
The efficiency and environmental impact of oil production become a principal challenge of energy producing companies. The improvement of existing and development of novel methods are often feasible within either a “new” physical framework (from the viewpoint of oil reservoir ... Read More
Pre-existing oil and gas wells and well bores represent highly permeable pathways for leakage of greenhouse gases; in Alberta alone leaks have been estimated to provide the equivalent of 3.5 million tonnes of CO2 per annum. In addition to abandoned wells without plugs, gas leakage may ... Read More
Thermal flow meters represent a vast range of sensors for applications in oil and gas, sustainable energy, food and medical care markets, where precise control of the mass flow is required. As a part of the MEMS production process, testing is performed after product assembly. Due to high ... Read More
The maintenance plan or rush-to-repair of a subsea pipeline for oil transport may result in the shutdown of the line, in other words, may stop the flow of fluid. During the shutdown, the temperature of the oil tends to decrease continuously, and the heavy molecules tend to crystallize ... Read More
Surface discharge at the oil-pressboard interface has been classified as the most dangerous fault condition in power transformer because it results in catastrophic failure under normal operating conditions and difficult to be detected. In order to understand the physical features of ... Read More
Voltage sensors are increasingly used for monitoring and load flow distribution. These sensors are safer, lighter in weight and lower in cost as compared to the conventional voltage transformers. The principal component of these sensors is high voltage resistors. The resistors have a ... Read More
Abstract In this work, the positive enhancing effect of conductive polyaniline (PANI) as an interfacial core-shell layer coated over a piezoelectrically active barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles on the output electro-elastic properties (relative dielectric constant, piezoelectric co ... Read More
In this work, a bimetallic strip based thermal sensor was designed using MEMS module of COMSOL Multiphysics® software to monitor the temperature rise in insulating oil which was used as coolant in transformers. The bimetallic strip was designed with different shapes such as cylindrical, ... Read More
