A novel polymeric nanocomposite pour point depressant (PPD), based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and montmorillonite (MMT) clay, was synthesized and characterized. For a comprehensive comparison, the influence of neat ...

Artificial neural networks (ANN) have emerged as a useful artificial intelligence concept in various engineering applications. Also, ANN only recently has been used in modeling the mechanical behavior of polymers. This ...

Organic geochemical investigations using thin layer chromatography-flame ionization detection (TLC-FID), Gas Chromatography (GC), Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), API gravimetry, elemental analysis, and ...

One dimensional basin modelling was used to evaluate the maturity of source rocks, the history of oil generation, and expulsion in north Pazanan syncline and Pazanan, Agha-Jari, and Bangestan anticlines in south Dezful ...

Tuned water (brine with designed compositions) has proved to influence the oil recovery factor. One of the hypotheses supported to understand this technique involves decreasing the oil-water interfacial tension (IFT) and ...

Energy storage is one of the major challenges during the last decades. Natural gas adsorption on porous materials has notable advantages in comparison with the other approaches. Due to the lack of adsorption information ...

Entropy analysis, along with convective heat transfer within rotating cylinders of the annulus, is presented using a purely analytical approach for Giesekus rheological model. Two different types of boundary conditions are ...
