Detailed Analysis of Pressure Drop in a Large Diameter Vertical Pipe
(2014-12-15)
With the ever increasing need to optimize production, the accurate understanding of the mechanics of multi-phase flow and its effect on the pressure drop along the oil-well flow string is becoming more pertinent. The ...
Analysis of Void Fraction Phase Distribution of Gas-Liquid Flow In a Horizontal Pipe Using Wire Mesh Sensor Data
(2014-12-15)
The scope of this work was to make detailed analysis of phase distribution in a horizontal pipe. This detailed analysis has been successfully carried out. Data obtained from wire mesh sensor (WMS) were used for the analyses. ...
Effect of Linear Drift on Radial Transport of Tracer in Homogeneous Porous Media
(2014-12-12)
Analytical models can be valuable tools to investigate solute transport in porous media. The application of analytical solutions is limited by the perception that they are too cumbersome to derive while their implementation ...
The Role of Potassium Sorbate in Multi-Layer Chitosan-Based on Aspergillus Niger
(2014-12-12)
This paper presents the use of multilayered chitosan films incorporated with antimicrobial agent, potassium sorbate to enhance effective food packaging. In this study, potassium sorbate was incorporated into multilayer ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Transport of Encapsulated Drug Through a Lipid Bilayer
(2014-12-15)
Most anticancer drugs are polar, cytotoxic and have complicated structures which cause difficulty in their penetration through the cell membrane. This presents a serious problem in chemotherapy. Is it possible to use carbon ...
Simulation-Based Model Thermal Ablation of Prostate Cancer Using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
(2014-12-20)
The use of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in the medical treatment of cancer has attracted scientists and engineers with interest in achieving the most financially affordable but yet curative methods of curing ...
Controlled Release of Fungicidal Antimicrobials on Packaged Foods
(2014-12-15)
This paper presents the effect of polymer concentration on the release of fungicidal antimicrobial (AM) agent to prolonging the shelf life of packaged food. This project aimed to produce and test AM films with varying ...
Oxidation of TBC Coated Nickel Based Superalloys and Gamma Titanium Aluminides for Land-Based Engines
(2014-12-12)
Our ability to power modern airplanes and land based engines depends largely on the thrust generated most importantly by aero engines. Over the past 30 years material cost has become an important factor, especially in ...
Model and Development of Non‐Predefined Query In Information Retrieval System
(2014-12-13)
The amount of information available today is extremely large. The increasing need for easier and faster information discovery demands optimal information retrieval techniques. A measure of performance of any ...
Improving the Wear Resistance of Barite Mining Tools
(2014-12-15)
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 ...
