Optimal design of crude oil distillation plants.
(2001)
Crude distillation is the first processing unit in the refinery. It separates the crude in to distillates, which are either intermediate products further processed or raw materials for the chemical industry. Crude distillation ...
An investigation into the properties and behaviors of alkyldiphenyl oxide disulfonate surfactants.
(2001)
An overview of surfactant adsorption included a discussion of the importance of surfactant adsorption in petroleum applications, a summary of the history of surfactant adsorption research and the mechanisms that have been ...
Characterization of admicellar polymerized and other thin films using scanning probe microscopy (SPM).
(2001)
Characterization techniques and results of polymer and inorganic thin films using Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) were presented. In view of principle, equipment and operation of SPM sample preparation, and surface ...
Heat integration across plants in the total site.
(2001)
As a step forward in closing this gap, the purpose of this thesis is to discuss heat integration across plants in the "total site". This integration can be accomplished either directly using process streams or indirectly ...
The direct partial oxidation of methane to organic oxygenates using a dielectric barrier discharge reactor.
(2001)
In regards to the system's energy usage, increases in methane conversion resulted in increases in the system's energy consumption due to limited partial pressures of oxygen within the reaction zone.
