Polymer flooding is a well-established chemical EOR technique. However, its application in high temperature and high salinity carbonate reservoirs is still a challenging task due to the unavailability of polymers which can withstand these reservoir conditions. Candidate polymers…
Efforts to improve diesel fuel sprays have led to a significant increase in fuel injection pressures and a reduction in nozzle-hole diameters. Under these conditions, the likelihood for the internal nozzle flow to cavitate is increased, which potentially affects spray breakup an…
This study addresses the influence of elevated pressures, fuel type, fuel flow rate and co-flow air on the flame structure and flickering behaviour of laminar oscillating diffusion flames. Photomultipliers, high speed photography and schlieren, accompanied with digital image pro…
Development of new transparent armor systems is essential for the protection of the current and future US armed forces, especially in light of the recent military operations The Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq and The Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. These conflicts ha…
