Experimental Determination of Carbon Capture and Sequestration Response to Reservoir Quantities

Abunumah O., Ogunlude P., Gobina E., Centre for Process Integration and Membrane Technology, School of Engineering, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, UK

Reservoir entities can be classified into geological, geometrical and fluidic. To complicate matters, reservoirs are usually set in geological layers, such that each layer interacts with injected and resident fluids differently. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is [...]

An Experimental Study on the Effect of Methane Potent Biogas Mixture on Gas Permeation Mechanism

Ogunlude P., Abunumah O., Muhammad-Sukki F., Gobina E., Robert Gordon University, UK

The Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario does require that all non-emergency flaring be eliminated globally by 2030, implying roughly a 90% reduction in flared volumes by 2030). New projects must incorporate strategies to utilize associated [...]

Reservoir Structural Strategies on the Integrity of Gas Mobility Ratio

Abunumah O., Ogunlude P., Gobina E., Centre for Process Integration and Membrane Technology, School of Engineering, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, UK

Fluid mobility is an essential engineering quantity for characterizing reservoir fluid recovery. In Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), mobility ratio is a mathematical term to describe the mobility of the displacing fluid relative to that of [...]

Effect of Biochar Loading on Carbon Nanofibrous Sponge Produced from Biochar and Electrospun Polymer Nanofibers

Numan-Al-Mobin A.M., Maddipudi B., Amar V.S., Shende R.V., Fong H., South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, US

The goal of this study is to process a typical waste product, namely the biochar obtained from the oxygen-limited hydrothermal system of biomass (e.g., corn stover), into the value-added product. Particularly, the 3D carbon nanofibrous [...]

Nonclassical Fullerenes C_60 and C_66 with Five Heptagon Rings

Sanchez-Bernabe F.J., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

In this paper, we present a couple of examples of nonclassical fullerenes with five heptagon rings. The first of them, a nonclassical fullerene with 60 carbons, five heptagons, 17 pentagons, and 10 hexagons, is considered. [...]

Fluidic circuits as a kinetic system for modulation of multiple hot spots as a thermally functional reactor

Alston M.E., Barber R., University of Nottingham, UK

The challenge in material science is our ability to evaluate heat flow within a material and monitor temperature with time. This research studies fluidic geometry as a reactor device aligned to elevated temperatures for enhanced [...]

New unique PAT method and instrument for real-time inline size characterization of concentrated, flowing nanosuspensions

Besseling R., Arribas-Bueno R., Damen M., Wijgergangs J., Hermes M., Gerich A., InProcess-LSP, NL

With the rise of nanotherapeutics -and nano based products in general-, there has been an increasing need for better understanding and control of nano-particle (NP) synthesis and formulation processes. Size characteristics are often primary, if [...]

Liquid core nanocapsules synthesized using flash nanoprecipitation

Van Keuren E., Taylor S., Chung Y., Chen L., Ugwu-Uche U., Aparicio V.A., Meehan R., Hughes E., Georgetown University, US

The synthesis and application of multicomponent and/or multifunctional nanoparticles is an area that has seen significant growth over the past decade. Nanocapsules, nanoparticles with a liquid core and hard shell, are one example. They have [...]

Memristor Nano Memory Passive Power Device

Christensen G., Hong H., Younes H., Bailey C., Novum Nano, US

A non-volatile memory circuit that has one or more of the following features was created and patented : (a) a logic source, and (b) a semi-conductive device being electrically coupled to the logic source, having [...]

Scalable Manufacturing of High-Nanotube-Content Nanocomposite Fabrics

Martinez-Rubi Y., Jakubinek M.B., Ashrafi B., Simard B., Kingston C.T., Palumbo G., McCrea J., Pallotta R., Katugaha H., National Research Council Canada, CA

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have long been considered promising for development of advanced composite materials, due to their unsurpassed properties along with low density, and they are now appearing in an increasing number of industrial applications [...]
