The rapid advancements in the computational abilities of numerical simulations have attracted researchers to work on the area of reactive transport in porous media to improve the hydrocarbon production processes from mature reservoirs. In the…
In this paper, the chemical exergy in waxy crude oil pipeline transportation process was mainly calculated and studied. On the one hand, the specific chemical reaction exergy of waxy crude oil in oilfield was derived according to the common…
Fouling in heat exchangers is the unwanted buildup of material on the heat exchange surface which reduces thermal efficiency. The crude preheat train usually consists of a set of heat exchangers which tend to become fouled. Crude oil fouling can be…
Fouling phenomena, generally related to heavy crude oils and bituminous petroleum fractions, nevertheless affects significantly the preheat train (PHT) of the light Algerian crude oil. In this study, a two dimensional model was developed using the…
Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is a promising technology with which large quantities of H2 can potentially be stored in the subsurface safely, economically and efficiently. As UHS is a relatively new technology, we critically reviewed all…
Without remorse, fossil fuels have made a huge contribution to global development in all of its forms. However, the recent scientific outlooks are currently shifting as more research is targeted towards promoting a carbon-free economy in addition to…
