(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)A global steady increase of energy consumption coupled with the decline of conventional oil resources points to a more aggressive exploitation of heavy oil. Heavy oil is a major source of energy in this century with a ...
-
(2016-11-30)Increasing global demand for oil, coupled with high depletion rates of conventional oil resources, make the exploitation and production of unconventional oil resources necessary. Heavy and extra-heavy oil have been ...

(2020-11-09)Aerosol particles have important effects on our world. In the context of the biosphere, aerosols contribute to air pollution and also influence human health. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to viral ...
-
(2023-03-03)Under humid atmospheric conditions, pollen grains can rupture creating pollen grain fragments referred to as subpollen particles (SPPs). This study evaluated environmental conditions needed to emit SPPs and measure the ...
-
(2017-01-04)There is a necessity to use artificial lift when the natural drive of oil is not strong enough to push the oil from the well bottom to the surface. Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) systems have been used far and wide by ...
-
(2016-08-02)Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) is a multi-stage centrifugal pump used in the petroleum industry. Due to the high efficiency and adaptivity, ESPs are widely employed in offshore oil wells. Viscous fluid pumping can result ...
-
(2009-05-15)Through past research, it is known that carbon nanotubes have the potential of enhancing the thermal performance of heat transfer fluids. The research is of importance in electronics cooling, defense, space, transportation ...
-
(2014-05-08)The heat transfer behaviors of non-Newtonian fluids under laminar flow conditions in circular tubes are presented in this study. The constant wall heat flux is considered as a boundary condition for dilute polymer solutions ...
-
(2017-12-08)As unconventional reservoirs continue to dominate the current economic climate, there is a great demand for developing innovative and efficient fracture treatment methodologies. Traditionally, the vast majority of hydraulic ...
-
(2013-02-06)The Accelerator Research Laboratory at Texas A&M is proposing a design for accelerator-driven subcritical fission in molten salt (ADSMS), a system that destroys the transuranic elements in used nuclear fuel. The transuranics ...
-
(2012-07-16)The objective of this study is to synthesize nanomaterials by mixing molten salt (alkali nitrate salt eutectics) with inorganic nanoparticles. The thermo-physical properties of the synthesized nanomaterials were characterized ...
-
(2013-12-11)The rheology and linear viscoelasticity of several model nanoparticle suspensions in epoxy have been systematically investigated. Three detailed studies were carried using α-zirconium phosphate (ZrP) nanoplatelets as model ...
-
(2016-08-03)An optical ice microscope apparatus equipped with a sealed cooling stage and CCD camera was used to examine contact freezing events between a water droplet and ice nucleating particles (INP) containing either fresh or ...
-
(2016-05-03)Worldwide energy consumption is increasing at a rapid rate. To meet this increasing demand, maximizing oil recovery from existing sources has become critical. For this purpose, Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery techniques are ...
-
(1981)Much work has been done in the past for calculating the economic pipe diameter for Newtonian fluids, but there has been very little done to date for the case of non-Newtonian fluids; i.e., a fluid whose viscosity is not ...
