Electromagnetic characterization plays an important role in both simulation and microwave heating applications. Particularly in the recovery of Mexican heavy oil, it is essential to perform electromagnetic characterization in order to understand more about the behavior of Mexican heavy ... Read More
The transportation of highly viscous oil surrounded by water annulus can be a practical option in terms of low-energy consumption and high efficiency. The stability of maintaining this type of flow can be challenging, especially with highly viscous oil. In this present study, three ... Read More
Transformer bushings are power system equipment installed on transformers tank to connect overhead conductor & transformer leads. These Bushings at high voltages carry large currents leading to higher temperature & catastrophic failures. Whereas excess insulation further reduces ... Read More
Droplet-based microfluidic systems are emerging as an ideal platform for the high-throughput screening of eukaryotic cells aimed to understand the complex, multidimensional, and dynamic biological processes [1]. Here, aqueous droplets – containing the eukaryotic cells – suspended in oil ... Read More
Black-oil simulators are commonly used in petroleum reservoir engineering for the prediction of oil production, especially during the earlier stages of oil-field exploitation, while also serving to guide pressure maintenance strategies in the longer term. Such models account for fluid ... Read More
Started in March 2020, the SOFITT project (Saturated Open-Cell Foams for Innovative Tribology in Turbomachinery), funded by the ANR (French National Research Agency), aims to develop reliable, high-performance, and environmentally friendly solutions for the guidance and support systems ...

Different phenomena control the performance and even selectivity in multiphase reactors. Moreover, a two way coupling between the physics could be expected when physical and/or chemical properties depend on the conversion rate. Hence, this presentation aims to show a methodology to model ... Read More
The most common method for in-situ recovery of oil sands is Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). SAGD is based on injecting pressurized steam into the ground to heat up the highly viscous bitumen and reduce its viscosity allowing oil to flow. This process is energy and emissions ... Read More
Microreactors have gained popularity in fuel production industry. This is due to its high surface area to volume ratio, enhanced mass and heat transfer, short residence time and a more sustainable practice. The catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reaction of 4-Propylguaiacol (4PG) to 4 ... Read More
Thermal enhanced oil recovery methods form the majority of the enhanced oil recovery projects worldwide. Among the thermal methods, steam injection is the most effective and most applied process in petroleum industry. The main mechanism of the steam injection method is the reduction of ... Read More
