Optimization of Water Based Drilling Fluid Produced Using Modified Nigerian Bentonite and Natural Biopolymers: Reduced experiment and Response Surface Methodology
Volume 16, Issue 1 , March 2019, , Pages 39-53
Abstract
Research has shown that many Bentonite in Nigeria are unsuitable for oil well drilling in their natural states. Their modification and blends with some additives could increase the yield and boost their suitability. Many indigenous polymers have become very popular due to environmental friendliness and ... Read MoreAn optimization study by response surface methodology (RSM) on viscosity reduction of residue fuel oil exposed ultrasonic waves and solvent injection
Volume 13, Issue 1 , January 2016, , Pages 3-19
Abstract
In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) was applied for investigation of the effects of ultrasonic waves, temperature and solvent concentration on viscosity reduction of residue fuel oil (RFO). Ultrasonic irradiation was employed at low frequency of 24 ... Read MoreLipase Immobilized into Novel GPTMS: TMOS Derived Sol-Gels and Its Application for Biodiesel Production from Waste Oil
Volume 13, Issue 1 , January 2016, , Pages 32-46
Abstract
In this essay, lipase from Burkholderia cepacia was immobilized into 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) derived sol-gels. GPTMS:TMOS molar ratio of 1:3 was found to yield the best result. The morphological characteristics were investigated based on SEM and BET analysis. ...

Volume 13, Issue 1 , January 2016, , Pages 84-97
Abstract
Examination of the available ignition delay time data and correlations in the case of methane, butane, heptane, decane, kerosene, Jet-A and ethylene fuels, allowed the derivation and recommendation of standard equations for this property. In this study, a new accurate substance dependent equation for ... Read MoreInvestigation of Liquid–Liquid Two-Phase Flow Pattern in Microreactors for Biodiesel Production
Volume 12, Issue 3 , July 2015, , Pages 32-40
Abstract
"> In the present study, transesterification of soybean oil to Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) was carried out in the microreactor. The system performance was investigated in the presence of hexane as a cosolvent. Furthermore, the effect of number of micromixer’s inlets on the mixing was one ... Read MoreApplications of Waste Cooking Oil Other Than Biodiesel: A Review
Volume 12, Issue 3 , July 2015, , Pages 55-76
Abstract
Waste cooking oil (WCO) is being generated large scale all over the world; hence it has devised serious problems of its waste management. Organised collection of WCO in voluminous quantity is mainly used for the production of biodiesel. Most researchers focus primarily on the biodiesel generation from ... Read MoreAssessment of Bioavailability of Crude Oil in Three Different Agricultural Soils
Volume 12, Issue 1 , January 2015, , Pages 3-12
Abstract
orption ofcontaminants in soil and sequestration in soil particles is a process, the mechanisms of which are not well understood as yet. The aim of this study was to investigate sequestration and bioavailability of crude oil as a contaminant in three different soils. For this purpose, three different ...

Volume 5, Issue 4 , October 2008, , Pages 3-11
Abstract
Implicit pressure-explicit saturation method (IMPES) is widely used in oil reservoir simulation to study the multiphase flow in porous media. This method has no complexity compared to the fully implicit method, although both of them are based on the finite difference technique. Water coning is one the ...
