USE OF THE HLD EQUATION TO DETERMINE SURFACTANT ADSORPTION AT SOLID SURFACES
(2016-07-08)
The objective of this work is to develop and refine a mathematical model based on the fundamentals of the hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation equation in order to describe and predict surfactant adsorption onto reservoir rocks ...
The Design and Development of a Survey Instrument to Measure Factors that Influence Choice Goals of Forensic Science Majors
(2016-12)
Colleges and universities are encouraged to strengthen forensic science programs to combat that shortage of highly educated and trained forensic scientists entering the field. To meet these demands and expectations, ...
Experimental Study of Proppant Pack Deformation
(2016)
Unconventional reservoirs, especially shales are drilled horizontally and hydraulically fractured for economical production. Proppant is carried and placed with the use of fracturing fluid to maintain fracture conductivity ...
The Effect of the Antibacterial Handsoap Matrix on the Kinetics of Triclosan Dissolution from Sand
(2016-12-16)
Triclosan (5-Chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol) is present in many common household products. Most notably, triclosan, is an active ingredient in disinfecting hand soaps, cosmetics, and dental products because of its ...
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENERGY DRINK CONSUMPTION AND PERCEIVED STRESS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS
(2016-08-10)
This study explored the relationship between energy drink consumption, reasons for drinking energy drinks, and perceived stress. This study combined the use of an energy drink consumption survey and the revised university ...
AN INVESTIGATION OF EXPERIMENTAL PARAMETERS REQUIRED TO STUDY HYDROCARBON PHASE BEHAVIOR UNDER CONSTANT VOLUME AND CONSTANT COMPOSITION CONDITIONS
(2016)
Accurate fluid phase behavior evaluation is essential for reservoir engineers to predict the type of reservoir, oil and gas in place, and develop proper production strategies. The change in phase behavior and phase equilibrium ...
ALTERNATIVE SURFACTANT FORMULATION FOR NON-AQUEOUS PHASE LIQUID (NAPL) REMOVAL
(2016-05)
Due to the inefficiency of the pump and treat method in removing hydrocarbon contamination from ground water, a new method called surfactant Enhanced Aquifer remediation (SEAR) has been developed. SEAR is just a chemical ...
Reservoir Characterization and Chemostratigraphy of the Goddard Shale in the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province
(2016)
The Goddard Shale of the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province, or SCOOP, has become a formation of interest in recent years. However, there is a paucity of published information in regards to this formation. Therefore, the ...
Characterization of Hydrophobic Nanoporous Particle Liquids for Energy Absorption
(2016-12)
Recently, the development of hydrophobic nanoporous technologies has drawn increased attention, especially for the applications of energy absorption and impact protection. Although significant amount of research has been ...
In-Situ Measurements and Remotely Sensed Estimations of Surface Fluxes over the Southern Great Plains of the United States
(2016-12)
Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important variable in the hydrologic cycle. As such, improved understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of ET is critical to weather and climate analysis and prediction, water ...
