Drop‐Location‐Insensitive Droplet‐Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

Architecture‐Engineered Semi‐Crystalline Microporous Polymer Membranes for Precise Molecular Separation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Guided by a Random Forest model, a π–π‐driven ordered stacking strategy deploys functionally distinct substructures to restrict chain segment motion and increase free volume, while preserving the intermolecular interactions that maintain structural integrity.

The study on temperature field variation and phase transition law after shutdown of buried waxy crude oil pipeline

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2017
In the buried waxy crude oil pipeline, considering the change of physical properties with temperature and the latent heat of wax precipitation, based on the pipeline-soil-atmosphere coupled heat transfer, the temperature drop model after shutdown is ...

Crude Oil Transportation: Nigerian Niger Delta Waxy Crude

, 2012
Crude oil is one actively traded commodity globally. Its demand has been growing steadily over the decades, from 60 million barrels per day to 84 million barrels per day (Hasan et al , 2010). In Nigeria, crude oil production has grown from a little above 1000 barrels per day in 1970 to over 3000 barrels per day in 2010 (Fig. 1.1).

Annatto‐Derived Carotenoids (Bixin and Norbixin) As Biodiesel Antioxidants: Characterization and Effects on Oxidative Stability (Rancimat and PetroOXY)

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Annatto‐derived bixin and norbixin were characterized and evaluated as natural antioxidants for soybean biodiesel. Their antioxidant performance and effects on oxidative stability were assessed using DPPH, Rancimat, and PetroOXY methods. ABSTRACT The increasing use of eco‐friendly fuels is increasing the production of biodiesel but soybean biodiesel is

Liquid–Liquid Equilibrium Data for Refined Olive Pomace Oil + Oleic Acid + Ethanol + Water Systems: Application to Solvent Deacidification

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first experimental liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for quaternary systems composed of refined olive pomace oil, oleic acid, ethanol, and water at 303.15 K. These data are essential for the design and optimization of solvent‐based deacidification processes, particularly for oils with high free fatty acid (FFA ...

Synergistic Effect on Enhanced Oil Recovery in High Salinity Carbonate Reservoirs Using a Novel PEI‐Functionalized Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing oil recovery (EOR) in mature reservoirs is hindered by high interfacial tension (IFT) and oil‐wet rock formations, especially under harsh, high‐salinity conditions. This study aims to overcome these limitations by synthesizing a novel carbon nanotube nanocomposite covalently grafted with polyethylenimine and non‐covalently ...

Study to improve an amphoteric sulfonate alkyl ester surfactant by mixing with nonionic surfactant to reduce brine–waxy oil interfacial tension and to increase oil recovery in sandstone reservoir: T-KS field, Indonesia

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2018
Crude oil with a high wax content and high pour point can be very challenging when enhanced oil recovery by surfactant flooding is to be applied. High wax content in crude oil will lead to high intermolecular interaction because of the increasing ...
