Hydrogen donor‐assisted visbreaking of Canadian oil sands bitumen

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐viscosity Canadian oil sands bitumen requires processing for efficient transportation and refining. Partial upgrading technologies, primarily based on thermal processing, can effectively reduce, or even eliminate, the use of costly diluent, increase bitumen quality and market value, potentially decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and

Shock wave propagation characteristics of aluminum‐containing explosive in corrugated steel‐lined tunnel

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Aluminum‐enhanced afterburning renders AE explosives more hazardous than conventional ones. Corrugated steel linings reduce far‐field AE blast overpressure by ~50% through wave reflection and dissipation. The developed model accurately predicts peak pressure (<10% error) and arrival time (<3% error), supporting protective design.

Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...
