A global optimization framework for stochastic integrated refinery planning with nonlinear unit models under demand and price uncertainties
(2020-09-11)
The refining industry is facing increased volatility in the global market such as lower economic margins. In this situation, refinery production planning becomes a substantial tool to utilize all potentials to extend the ...
The exploration of equivalent alkane carbon number of molecules
(2020)
This work strives to be a useful compilation of hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation (HLD) information with a focus on explaining the current understanding of Equivalent Alkane Carbon Number (EACN). The industrial interests ...
Computational Investigation of the Behavior of Nanoparticles and Surfactants at the Oil-Water Interface
(2021-12)
Surfactants and nanoparticles (NPs) are commonly used to stabilize emulsions, which have found applications in different areas. The fundamental understanding of the behavior of surfactants and NPs adsorbed at the oil-water ...
Analysis of melt blowing dies using computational fluid dynamics .
(2007)
For a single annular jet and the blunt slot die, a previously developed rheological model was used to predict the fiber diameter, velocity, and temperature. Then, these were used to set boundary conditions in simulations ...
Simultaneous cracking of phenolic compounds and hydrocarbons over zeolites
(2014)
Co-processing bio-oils with hydrocarbons in conventional refinery processes has been considered as a promising strategy for upgrading and producing fuels from alternative sources. Co-feeding the phenolic fraction to the ...
INTERFACIALLY ACTIVE CARBON NANOTUBE HYBRIDS FOR RESERVOIR DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
(2013-12)
This work examines the different aspects of stabilizing and propagating interfacially active carbon nanohybrids for oil field applications. The progress achieved during the last four years was quite impressive towards the ...
Effect of Water on Catalytic Reactions over Brønsted Zeolites
(2022-09)
Water is present in both conventional chemical transformations and conversion of renewable emerging feedstocks such as biomass and plastic waste. Solid acids and zeolites, in particular, have been one of the most common ...
Conversion of alicyclic compounds for improvement of fuel properties.
(2006)
The presence of Pt improves the production of ring-contraction and ring-opening products from tetralin due to hydrogenation of tetralin to decalin. In addition, the location of metal (Pt) affects the ratio of RC/RO on the ...
Computational investigation of non-covalent stabilization of nanoparticle suspensions and their propagation in porous media
(2016)
In this study, Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) and Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) methods were used to investigate computationally the non-covalent stabilization of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in water by using polymers ...
Reaction pathways and catalyst phase transformations during synthesis of nanotubes and nanowires by the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism.
(2006)
The discovery of carbon nanotubes and semiconductor nanowires has initiated an exploding research field in which enormous efforts have been invested due to their fundamental significance to the study of size- and ...
