Remote sensing is an important method for monitoring marine oil-spill accidents. However, methods for measuring oil-film thickness remain insufficient. Due to the stable differences in the surface emissivity and temperature of oil and water, the oil...
At present, digital maps can estimate the travel time of each trip’s route but cannot offer a fuel consumption estimation at the same time. In this paper, we develop a fuel consumption model based on the Vehicle Specific Power (VSP) distributio...
The main objective of this work was to characterize and compare the microstructural and mechanical properties as well as erosion resistance of WC-12Co and WC-10Co-4Cr coatings. The High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HVOF) process was applied to carbon manganese...
Tumor microenvironments, particularly hypoxia and inflammation, heavily influence colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis by altering polyamine metabolism. Identifying natural compounds targeting these vulnerabilities remains critical. Integrating untar...
In the present work, a layer of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr with thickness of 260 ± 15 µm was coated onto the API-2H pipeline steel surface using high-velocity oxy-fuel deposition. The effect of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr coating on the corrosion...
Internal combustion engine lubrication is essential for unwanted energy and material losses. As part of the experimental work, the lubricity of both new and worn motor oils of Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) 15W-40 and SAE 10W-40 with different...
This work studies the mechanical behavior of microalloyed steels (API X60 and API X70) with boride layers using a boriding process and immersion in diesel. First, the microalloyed steels were borided using dehydrated boron paste at a temperature of 1...
Two inorganic coatings, namely 88%WC-12%Co (PSC1) and 86%WC-10%Co-4%Cr (PSC2), were deposited on the surface of an API-2H pipeline steel using high velocity oxy-fuel deposition. The corrosion of the uncoated and coated API-2H steel after their immers...
Heavy crude oil is known to have low hydrogen-to-carbon ratios compared to light oil. This is due to the significant content of carbon-rich species such as resins and asphaltenes; hence their upgrading is commonly through carbon-rejection. However, c...
This article presents an overview of the graphical user interfaces (GUIs) developed at CEA/SERMA (Service d’Études des Réacteurs et de Mathématiques Appliquées) in Saclay, France, which have been used for over forty...
The incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worldwide is increasing as the pipeline for the development of new chemotherapeutic entities is decreasing. Clearly, overexposure to antibiotics, including excessive dosing, is a key factor that fuels A...
Due to the alarming rate of climate change, fuel consumption and emission estimates are critical in determining the effects of materials and stringent emission control strategies. In this research, an analytical and predictive study has been conducte...
Although the use and promotion of renewable energies have increased in recent years, it is evident that the use of fossil fuels such as oil and gas continues to be of great importance. Likewise, pipelines are widely recognized as the most reliable an...
Dual-fuel, diesel–LPG (LPG being Liquified Petroleum Gas, e.g., propane) compression-ignition engines reduce CO2 and particulate emissions compared to diesel-only operation but are prone to knock at high load due to charge homogeneity and incre...
Nowadays, the thermal and catalytic decomposition of plastic wastes by pyrolysis is one of the best alternatives to convert these wastes into quality fuel oils, thus replenishing some petroleum resources. This work studied the catalytic pyrolysis of...
The most economical way to move liquids and gaseous hydrocarbons is by using pipelines. According to several international organizations and oil companies, the use of fossil fuels will continue in the following decades. For this reason, it is importa...
As a result of strengthened sulfur content standards for ship fuel oil in IMO regulations, major domestic and foreign carriers have a high and growing demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered ships and related equipment. For LNG operation in a...
This article introduces the Database for Estimation of Road Network Performance (DERNP) to enable wide-scale estimation of relevant Road Network Performance (RNP) factors for major German cities. The methodology behind DERNP is based on a randomized...
Soil pollution from waste crude oil in emergency pits is a major problem at petroleum industry sites. In this work, extra-heavy waste crude oil was recovered from emergency pits and underwent many pre-purification processes to remove water and impuri...
The transition from ICE to BEV taxis is one of the most important methods for reducing fossil fuel consumption and air pollution in cities such as Bangkok. To support this transition, an adequate number of charging stations to cover each area of char...
The ballistic impact resistance of lightweight magnesium alloys is an eye-catching material for the military and aerospace industries, which can decrease the cost of a project and the fuel consumption. The shockwave mitigation ability of a magnesium...
In this work, the conversion of waste polypropylene to alternative fuels (liquid and gas) was performed through non-catalytic thermal and catalytic hydrocracking over NiMo/Al2O3 and Pt/Al2O3 catalysts. The process was carried out in an autoclave batc...
Using automotive smartphone applications (apps) provided by car manufacturers may offer numerous advantages to the vehicle owner, including improved safety, fuel efficiency, anytime monitoring of vehicle data, and timely over-the-air delivery of soft...
The depletion of conventional light petroleum reserves has intensified the search for alternative sources, notably, low-quality heavy oils and byproducts from heavy crude processing, to meet the global demand for fuels, energy, and petrochemicals. He...
