To address the challenges of strong heterogeneity and poor crude oil mobility in tight conglomerate reservoirs of the Mahu Oilfield, this study systematically evaluated the effects of different surfactants on wettability alteration, spontaneous imbib...
The urgent need to address climate change has driven the exploration of sustainable energy solutions, with wave energy and green hydrogen emerging as prominent alternatives to traditional fossil fuels. This study examines the potential synergy betwee...
The global concern regarding the reduction of carbon emissions has led to the development of hydrogen as a clean, carbon-free fuel for combustion systems. The present work combines Particle Image Velocimetry flow field measurements and Reynolds-Avera...
The current rise in global energy demand and environmental degradation has highlighted the need to use renewable energy as an alternative to fossil fuels. Ricinus communis L. (castor bean oil) has emerged as a promising source for biofuels production...
The conversion of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons holds significant importance in the petrochemical and coal chemical industries, as it enables the production of high-value-added chemicals. In this study, w...
Hydrogen is emerging as a key energy carrier in the transition to a low-carbon economy. This study reviews blue and green hydrogen, analysing their production technologies, environmental impacts, economic viability and global deployment trends. Blue...
SiO2 is a versatile inorganic substance with a wide spectrum of applications in areas such as fuel cells. In this study, pristine (p-SiO2) and sulfonated silica (s-SiO2) particles were synthesised using the sol–gel and Stober methods. Furthermo...
Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a promising method for turning two major greenhouse gases, CO2 and CH4, into syngas (H2 + CO). This syngas has the right H2/CO ratio for making valuable chemicals and liquid fuels. However, there are significant chal...
As global decarbonization accelerates, the environmental and economic viability of hydrogen production largely depends on the evolving electricity supply mix. This study focused on alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) to identify the key factors affecti...
The development of unconventional resources continues to be propelled by innovations that enhance economic efficiency and maximize reservoir contact within operational constraints. Among the most recent of these is the U-shaped, or “horseshoe,&...
Amid growing concerns over fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation, developing alternative energy sources is imperative. While MoS2-based catalysts are known for their syngas conversion activity, their selectivity toward alcohols remains...
The article presents a comparison between the pressure conditions of a real low-pressure gas network and the results of hydraulic calculations obtained using various simulation programs and empirical equations. The calculations were performed using s...
Biomass briquettes are increasingly used as renewable solid fuels, yet their durability under humid storage remains a key limitation. This study evaluated the mechanical performance and water resistance of briquettes made from fine (0–1 mm) and...
Coal mining has entered the stage of deep mining, and the prevention and control of gas disasters are facing significant challenges. Coal seam water injection, as an effective means of preventing and controlling gas disasters, has dual effects of pre...
A multiscale 3D CFD model of CO2 methanation over Ni/Al2O3 was developed in COMSOL Multiphysics 6.3 for a lab-scale isothermal fixed-bed Sabatier reactor and validated against published data. The multiscale approach integrated bulk convection–d...
In this study, the impact of the electric motor size and the hybridization ratio of a Fuel Cell Electric Bus on its vehicle performance (i.e., gradeability and acceleration) and fuel consumption was investigated using the ADVISOR software. The invest...
This study presents an integrated petrophysical workflow for the comprehensive characterization of the Upper Dalan and Kangan carbonate gas reservoirs in the Shanul Field, southwest Iran. By combining advanced cross-plot techniques (including M-N, MI...
The chemical looping steam reforming of methane (CLSR) employing Fe-containing oxygen carriers can produce syngas and hydrogen simultaneously. However, Fe-based oxygen carriers exhibit low CH4 activation ability and cyclic stability. In this work, ox...
Emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) resulting from steam-driven enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations present an environmental challenge as well as an opportunity to further enhance oil recovery. Using numerical simulations with realistic input data f...
Pelletizing enhances competitiveness of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) as a fuel by increasing its bulk and energy density. However, LCB pellets are prone to degradation from moisture, have high ash, and pose safety risks due to carbon monoxide (CO) e...
