This research examines the use of 75nm Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (Nano ZnO) and Polyethylene Butene (PEB) in reducing the viscosity of Nigerian waxy crude oil. The rheology of the crude oil was studied by measuring the viscosity and shear stress of…
In this work, Fe2O3, ZnO, and MgO nanoparticles were synthesized via a chemical precipitation method to investigate their effects on wax formation, morphological characteristics, and rheological behavior in a crude oil sample. For this purpose,…
The nanocomposites of tungsten oxide and cadmium sulfide (WO3-nCdS) with different mass ratios (n = 0 %, 5 %, 15 %, 30 % and 100 %) of CdS in WO3 were synthesized by pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL). Anchoring of CdS on WO3 brought about…
Polyethylene glycols as phase change materials (PCMs) have good latent heat storage (LHS) characteristics, but the low thermal conductivity property significantly hinders their usage potential in thermal energy storage (TES) applications. Within this…
