Effects of Cassava-Leaf-Enhanced Carbonitriding on Case-Hardening of Barite Mining Tools
(2017-12-12)
This study presents the results of an experimental study of the effects of cassava leaves carbonitriding on the microstructure, hardness and abrasive wear behaviour of AISI 1065 and AISI 1070 steels used for barite mining ...
Assessment of Beneficiation Process of a Nigerian Barite Source for Utilization as Oil Drilling Mud
(2017-12-12)
The texture and size distribution of various species of gangue minerals affect the beneficiation of barite and lower the specific gravity of barite as-mined. About 9% of the barite used in the oil industry in Nigeria is ...
A Model Driven Engineering Framework for Healthcare Systems Management
(AUST, 2017-12-05)
Traditional mathematical methods such as differential equations formalism have been used for centuries as the main tools for analysis of complex systems in varied areas. As opposed to the general solutions provided by ...
Towards a Unifying Framework for Engineering Devs Distributions Simulation
(AUST, 2017-12-10)
Simulation engineering employs the use of simulation models, simulation environments, and simulation execution platforms in providing applicable Modeling and Simulation (M&S) solutions for studying complex systems. Discrete ...
Structure and Properties of Organic and Inorganic Composites Materials: From Organic Photovoltaic Cells to Aerospace Materials
(AUST, 2017-11-15)
Pressure and contacts in materials and systems play crucial roles in their performance and also their eventual failures. Pressure application closes voids, bridges gaps and improves transport across interfaces. In thin ...
New Frontiers for Solar Cells and Light Emitting Devices
(AUST, 2017-02-05)
Solar energy, with its abundance and availability, would ultimately replace dwindling fossil fuel reserves in this new era of cleaner and more efficient energy as the world surges on to new technologies and horizons. This ...
Measurable Set-Valued Functions and Bochner Integrals
(2017-12-12)
In this thesis, several concepts from Topology, Measure Theory, Probability Theory, and Functional analysis were combined in the study of the measurability of set-valued functions and the Bochner integral. We started with ...
Effects of Non-Darcy Flow on The Impairment of Gas Condensate Wells
(AUST, 2017-12-10)
Gas condensate reservoirs are initially discovered as single-phase gas reservoirs. As the reservoir is produced below the fluid dew-point pressure, an increase in condensate saturation in the near wellbore region occur ...
