Wireless sensor network is application specific, which is deployed in an interested area like about hundred or thousands of sensor nodes. All the sensor nodes communicate via a wireless medium and works cooperatively to ...

This research work mainly investigates the implication of void prediction in the estimation of total pressure gradient in vertical pipes for multiphase flow systems. Experimental data was collected for a multiphase flow ...

Upstream petroleum industry remains one of the most prolific industries in terms of technology and risk capital transfer. Consequently, governments all over the world try to formulate political as well as economic structures ...

Drilling mud plays an integral part in drilling operations to perform several functions some of which are to cool drill bits, provide hydrostatic pressure and give information about subsurface formation. The cutting ...

Wearing of mining tools leads to high replacement costs, machine downtime and loss of business opportunities. This work was however, aimed at improving the wear resistance of AISI 1065 and 1070 proeutectoid steels used for ...

Numerical reservoir simulators are employed to obtain meaningful and reliable solutions for an actual case due to extreme complexity of the reservoirs systems. Wilcox formation is a reservoir in the gulf of Mexico with ...

Patients living with sickle cell disease are perpetually plagued with painful crisis episodes, caused by vascular occlusion. Over time, this leads to oxygen deprivation and the eventual damage of starved tissues and organs. ...

The complexity of the microstructure of the active layer in organic photo- voltaics (OPVs) poses a unique challenge in improving the efficiency of OPV devices. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation provides a direct route ...

Petroleum exploration, development and operation usually involves large capital investments that requires maximum reserves be recovered, so as to compensate for initial investment efforts. To achieve such a goal, where the ...

Information System (IS) is an integrated set of components for collecting, storing, and processing data and for providing information and knowledge. IS is commonly used by organizations, business firms, institutions to ...

Large quantities of petroleum resources in the Niger Delta province are confined to unconsolidated turbiditic and silici-clastic rocks. These rocks are usually associated with high volumes of shale. The high volumes of ...

Reservoir characterization has long been identified as the ultimate process employed in detailed description of a reservoir in order to properly book the reserve and also to optimally place the wells and drain the reservoir. ...

As reservoirs become more complex and drilling operations more expensive, the need to reduce both inefficiencies and costs for constructing and analyzing high quality static models is essential. The effective and efficient ...

The goal of this thesis is to extend the notion of integration with respect to a measure to Lattice spaces. To do so the paper is first summarizing the notion of integration with respect to a measure on R. Then, a construction ...

Taking Nigeria as a case study, most educational institutions, be it at the primary, secondary or tertiary level are faced with the challenge of over population of student’s in a single classroom. Also, the teacher who ...

We attempt the design and development of an educational game based on the Input-Process-Outcome model. This tool helps students and other professionals to learn and appreciate the decision-making processes carried out by ...

One of the major challenges in reservoir engineering is the accurate description of the reservoir. This description is essential in all aspects of petroleum engineering, and is typically achieved through reservoir ...

The concurrent flow of gas/liquid in pipes poses a great challenge due to the difficulty associated with the flow of fluid. The flow is characterized by the existence of flow regimes which can be identified by the geometrical ...

The understanding of the behaviour of vertical upward and downward two-phase flow in large diameter pipes is very important in chemical, petroleum and nuclear sector where safety is of utmost concern. This work helps to ...
