During drilling operations, effective displacement of fluids can provide high-quality cementing jobs, ensuring zonal isolation and strong bonding of cement with casing and formation. Poor cement placements due to incomplete ...

Among the many extraordinary qualities of graphene, its thermoelectric properties have attracted significant interest, for example, in active cooling applications. Here, we report on the thermoelectric transport properties ...

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a promising technology for hydrocarbon fuel combustion with integrated CO2 capture. The CLC process imposes almost no direct energy penalty for separating CO2, but a large indirect ...

Tapping of slag and metal from metal producing furnaces are often inconsistent and it is difficult to predict the outcome of the process. Nonuniformities in the particle bed has been hypothesized as reasons for inconsistent ...

Very little research on Søderberg electrodes has been published in the journal peer reviewed public domain. The main aim of this work is to characterise a Søderberg electrode that was cut off approximately 0.5 m below the ...

Deep wells in soft formations are completed with a steel tube (“casing”) that isolates the well from the surrounding rock. The annulus between the casing and the rock is usually left open in long sections of the well, thus ...

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the most viable solutions to limit the CO2 emission in the atmosphere, with the potential to be applied at short-medium time scales. In this concern, polymeric materials play a ...

In this work, chemical compositions and micro morphologies and structures of ash deposits from two municipal solid waste-to-energy (WtE) plants in Norway were analyzed and characterized. The ash deposits were sampled from ...

Two-phase dispersed and slug flows in a pipe are investigated using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The data are acquired through tomographic reconstruction of X-ray measurements, where holdup, cross-sectional phase ...

In the present work, birch and spruce woodchips were pyrolyzed in a fixed bed reactor under different pyrolysis conditions. The effects of pyrolysis temperature and atmosphere (i.e., with and without gas purging) on yield ...
