EFFECT OF FOAMING AGENTS ON CRUDE OIL SYSTEM ABSTRACT This report entails the study of the effect of the foaming agents in the physio-chemical properties of the oil system, this report investigate if the addition of such foaming agents can improve production and also determines the properties of the crude oil and the foaming agents […]
MODELLING, SIMULATION AND CONTROL OF A REACTIVE DISTILLATION PROCESS FOR FUEL ADDITIVE PRODUCTION ABSTRACT In this work, a reactive distillation process for the production of a fuel additive has been modelled, simulated and controlled using proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control method. The fuel additive considered was isopropyl alcohol that was produced from the reaction occurring between propylene […]
ENGINEERING DESIGN AND PREDICTION OF HYDRATE FORMATION FOR A GAS PIPELINE ABSTRACT This research is focused on the difficulties that gas producers usually face with Hydrate formation during transportation. Hydrate build up in gas transportation flowlines is one of the major tasks for gas operators to deal with as it may cease gas flow through […]
COMPATIBILITY STUDIES ON SOLUTION OF POLYSTYRENE /POLY (METHYL METHACRYLATE) AND POLY (VINYL CHLORIDE) / POLY (METHYL METHACRYLATE) BLENDS USING VISCOMETRY, FOURIER TRANSFORMS INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY AND DENSITY METHODS Abstract: Studies on solution of polystyrene /poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(vinyl chloride) /poly(methyl methacrylate) were carried out to ascertain the compatibility of the polymer-polymer blends at temperature of 300C […]
Abstract: One of the major problems facing commercialization of fuel cell systems, especially polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems is cost. Various researchers have reported different system configurations which perform differently in terms of energy utilization and cost. It is therefore important to determine the best system configuration in terms of both energy utilization […]
EFFECT OF ACRYLIC POLYMER DISPERSIONS ON WATER VAPOUR PERMEABILITY AND SOME OTHER PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF FINISHED LEATHERS Abstract The effect of acrylic polymer dispersions on the water vapour permeability and some other properties of finished leathers have been studied. An acrylic based commercial binder AE 558 Nycil has been characterized and its effect when […]
SYNTHESIS, FORMULATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PHENOL FORMALDEHYDE/CHITOSAN COMPOSITES Abstract The methodology of the experiment involves three main stages. The first part describes the synthesis of the PF (novolac) resins. Novolac (resins) were prepared with an excess of phenol over formaldehyde under acidic conditions. PF molar ratio were varied from 1P:2F to 1P:8F. The structure of […]
