In this book, the authors are interested in the design and the
implementation of a generator test bench that works with a
diesel-biodiesel mixture. The goal is to introduce and test the
effect of biodiesel addition in carburant. To do this, the authors
started their work through the development of an appropriate
design. After completing the preparation of the test bench, the
authors installed all the necessary instruments. With this
equipment, the overall characteristics of the generator running for
the first time with diesel and then with different proportions of
biodiesel, capping at 50% were studied. This work is of great
importance because it solves the ecological problems mainly related
to the toxic rejection of conventional fuels.
Industrial Piping and Equipment Estimation Manual delivers an
invaluable resource for day-to-day operations. Packed full of
worksheets covering combined and simple cycle power plants,
refineries, compressor stations, ethanol, hydrogen and biomass
plants, this reference helps the construction engineer and
estimator learn how to create bids where scope and quantity
differences can be identified and project impacts estimated.
Beginning with an introduction devoted to labor, productivity
measurement, estimating methods, and factors affecting construction
labor productivity and impacts of overtime, the author then
explores equipment through hands-on estimation tables, including
sample estimates and statistical applications. The book rounds out
with a glossary, abbreviations list, formulas, and metric/standard
conversions, and is an ideal reference for estimators, engineers
and managers with the level of detail and equipment breakdown
necessary for today's industrial operations.
This book covers the fundamentals of reservoir engineering in the
recovery of hydrocarbons from underground reservoirs. It provides a
comprehensive introduction to the topic, including discussion of
recovery processes, material balance, fluid properties and fluid
flow. It also contains details of multiphase flow, including
pore-scale displacement processes and their impact on relative
permeability, with a presentation of analytical solutions to
multiphase flow equations. Created specifically to aid students
through undergraduate and graduate courses, this book also includes
exercises with worked solutions, and examples of previous exam
papers for further guidance and practice.As part of the Imperial
College Lectures in Petroleum Engineering, and based on a lecture
series on the same topic, Reservoir Engineering provides the
introductory information needed for students of the earth sciences,
petroleum engineering, engineering and geoscience.
This book presents the proceedings of the 4th International
Conference on Integrated Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences 2016
(ICIPEG 2016), held under the banner of World Engineering, Science
& Technology Congress (ESTCON 2016) at Kuala Lumpur Convention
Centre from August 15 to 17, 2016. It presents peer-reviewed
research articles on exploration, while also exploring a new area:
shale research. In this time of low oil prices, it highlights
findings to maintain the exchange of knowledge between researchers,
serving as a vital bridge-builder between engineers, geoscientists,
academics, and industry.
As regulations push the fossil fuel industry toward increasing
standards of eco-friendliness and environmental sustainability,
desulfurization (the removal of SO2 from industrial waste
byproducts) presents a new and unique challenge that current
technology is not equipped to address. Advances in nanotechnology
offer exciting new opportunities poised to revolutionize
desulfurization processes. Applying Nanotechnology to the
Desulfurization Process in Petroleum Engineering explores recent
developments in the field, including the use of nanomaterials for
biodesulfurization and hydrodesulfurization. The timely research
presented in this volume targets an audience of engineers,
researchers, educators as well as students at the undergraduate and
post-graduate levels.
