Introduction Overview of CO2-EOR The EOR method in the form of gas injection which is known and proven to be successful in increasing oil recovery is gas injection using carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. This method is known as the CO2-EOR method which has been shown to increase oil recovery very significantly as happened in the […]
OVERVIEW Several studies have investigated the combustion characteristics of gelled liquid fuels with the aim of increasing the energy density and improving the transport and storage safety. Ethanol based gelled fuels have been studied to control auto ignition or ignition delay. poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPPAm) gel used as a polymeric gel storage for liquid fuels. […]
A. WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW Climate change has become one of the greatest threats of this century to the environment, as well as to global security including health, wealth and political stability. Over the past decade, energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have increased 1% annually on average. If this average growth rate continues, it […]
In the chemical plant, we need to isolate certain equipment frequently for cleaning, maintenance, and repair. We need to perfectly isolate the equipment because fluids are very flammable or toxic so leakage of fluid can cause a huge problem. For isolating a certain mechanism is available which is called Block and Bleed valve. Block and […]
Cement is a material which is used to bind other materials together. Binding means it has an effect of gluing the substances together due to cohesive and adhesive action and then hardens and sets in order to become permanent. Cement is usually not used on its own; it is mixed with other materials called aggregates to produce a […]
What are some of the materials traditionally used in fusion reactors as ‘breeding blankets’, and what is their function? Fusion reactors could be a powerful means of generating clean electricity, and currently, and several potential designs are being explored. In a fusion reactor, the fusion of two nuclear atoms releases massive amounts of energy. This […]
Instant Noodles are food products made from wheat flour and food additives that are permitted to be in the form of typical noodles. Instant noodles can be used as an alternative to rice and are liked by all people. This is because it is easy to obtain, affordable, has many flavors, and is easy to […]
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), a technology where carbon emissions are captured at a point source, transported, and injected deep underground into a safe, permitted geologic site for long term storage, was included in the portfolio of climate change mitigation options released in 2005 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (IPCC, 2005). The […]
INTRODUCTION Water that is co-produced during oil and gas production, known as produced water (PW), is a major waste stream. The United States produces about 21 billion barrels of PW per year. The amount of PW that is generated depends on the geological formation and the type of energy resource being developed. Here we focus […]
Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE) is a mass transfer operation that is used to separate components of a liquid mixture by contacting it with another liquid. It must have at least two components. Usually, we are interested in separating only one component from a feed stream. This component is called a ‘Solute’. The components other than the […]
