It is a recurrent decimal that conventional transportation fuel is becoming a scarce commodity in Nigeria. Owing to Oil refineries producing below designed capacity and not meeting with demand for transportation fuel in the country. This has been…
Entropy generation and thermal analysis for freezing process of paraffin within a duct with air turbulent flow have been scrutinized in current article. Unsteady formulation has been utilized with incorporating implicit approach and two dimension…
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is widely used in domestic cookstoves as it is a clean and high energy content fuel in comparison with other traditional cooking fuels. With the increasing demand of LPG, study and improvement of cookstove performance…
This paper studies experimentally the burning behavior of crude karanja oil pool fires in free burning. Experiments were conducted in pool size from 0.2 to 0.5 m. Various parameters such as mass loss rate, flame height, centerline temperature, and…
Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion phasing control is one of the most difficult challenges of operating this new concept of combustion. In this study, a dimethyl ether (DME)/natural gas (NG) blend fuel HCCI engine is simulated…
The submarine CO2 hydrate-based geological storage is an effective method for carbon capture and storage, which is significant for mitigating the greenhouse effect. The pressure and temperature variation can affect the storage stability of CO2…
Previous experimental results on full-scale jet fires induced by high-pressure hydrogen/natural gas transient leakage can only be suitable for solving practical engineering problems, or testing the limitation of previous models. Thus, this paper…
Nowadays, maintenance is based on the synergistic integration of operational reliability and timely maintenance, which guarantees the required availability and optimal cost. Operational reliability implies producing more, better performance, longer…
A real-time mathematical model for the two-dimensional temperature field of petroleum coke calcination in vertical shaft calciner was developed based on computational fluid dynamics. In the modeling process, the petroleum coke discharging process was…
The boil-off gas (BOG) produced from liquefied natural gas (LNG) mixtures in cryogenic storage tanks must be predicted reliably as a function of tank shape, heat ingress, thermal stratification, pressure, and liquid volume fraction. However, current…

Because of the development of new energy production strategies in the framework of biomass recycling processes, the scientific community and health authorities have recently shown a growing interest in occupational risk related to biofuels…
Single and double-plate floating roof oil tanks are two types of widely used floating roof oil tanks in petrochemical industry. However, the differences in flow and hear transfer characteristics of waxy crude oil inside these two tanks have been…
