Experimental investigation of caustic steam injection for heavy oils
(2010-01-16)
An experimental study has been conducted to compare the effect of steam injection and caustic steam injection in improving the recovery of San Ardo and Duri heavy oils. A 67 cm long x 7.4 cm O.D (outer diameter), steel ...
Modeling of Multiphase Flow in the Near-Wellbore Region of the Reservoir under Transient Conditions
(2010-07-14)
In oil and gas field operations, the dynamic interactions between reservoir and wellbore cannot be ignored, especially during transient flow in the near-wellbore region. As gas hydrocarbons are produced from underground ...
The Seismic Stratigraphy and Sedimentation along the Ninetyeast Ridge
(2010-10-12)
The Ninetyeast Ridge (NER) is a ~5000 km-long aseismic volcanic ridge trending NS
in the eastern Indian Ocean basin. It is widely accepted that NER formed from the trace of
a single hotspot as the Indian plate moved ...
Non-Linear Drying Diffusion and Viscoelastic Drying Shrinkage Modeling in Hardened Cement Pastes
(2010-07-14)
The present research seeks to study the decrease in diffusivity rate as relative
humidity (RH) decreases and modeling drying shrinkage of hardened cement paste as a
poroviscoelastic respose. Thin cement paste strips of 0.4 ...
The Novice Teacher's Experience in Sensemaking and Socialization in Urban Secondary Schools
(2010-10-12)
Teacher attrition is costly for districts, both financially and in terms of student
achievement. Districts often address teacher attrition by focusing on recruitment
practices or by offering induction support for novice ...
Ecohydrological Planning for The Woodlands: Lessons Learned After 35 Years
(2010-10-12)
The Woodlands, Texas, is a 27,000-acre new town created with Ian McHarg's
ecohydrological planning approach. The Woodlands is the best example of ecologically
based new town planning in the United States during the 1970s. ...
Discrete Element Modeling of Influences of Aggregate Gradation and Aggregate Properties on Fracture in Asphalt Mixes
(2010-07-14)
Aggregate strength, gradation, and shape play a vital role in controlling asphalt mixture performance. Many studies have demonstrated the effects of these factors on asphalt mixture performance in terms of resistance to ...
Coastal Wave Generation and Wave Breaking over Terrain: Two Problems in Mesoscale Wave Dynamics
(2010-07-14)
Two problems in mesoscale wave dynamics are addressed: (i) wave-turbulence
interaction in a breaking mountain wave and (ii) gravity wave generation associated
with coastal heating gradients.
The mean and turbulent structures ...
Optimized Fan Control In Variable Air Volume HVAC Systems Using Static Pressure Resets: Strategy Selection and Savings Analysis
(2010-07-14)
The potential of static pressure reset (SPR) control to save fan energy in variable air
volume HVAC systems has been well documented. Current research has focused on the creation
of reset strategies depending on specific ...
Application of Advanced Laser and Optical Diagnostics Towards Non-Thermochemical Equilibrium Systems
(2010-07-14)
The Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) research at Texas
A and M University is concerned with the experimental characterization of non-thermal and
non-chemical equilibrium systems in hypersonic (Mach ...
