Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMutagenic Screening of Crude Oil Fractions Using Modified Ames Test and Allium cepa (Linn) AssayOlufunsho Awodele, Alade Akintonwa, Sunday O. Olayemi et al.Problem statement: Crude oil which may be broadly characterized as paraffinic or naphthenic is a complex mixture of alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. About 500,000 workers are employed in crude oil exploration and production worldwide. There have been reports of occupational exposure during drilling, pumping and transportation of crude oil, including maintenance of equipment used for these processes. Thus, skin … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Seven-Lump Kinetic Model in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking UnitMehran Heydari, Habib AleEbrahim, Bahram DabirProblem statement: The effective simulation of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) operation requires a good understanding of many factors such as, reaction kinetic, fluid dynamics and feed and catalyst effects. Approach: In this model the reactor has been considered as an isothermal riser. The reactions in the riser occur with the fluid and the solids in ideal plug flow. Because … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,607 accessesView PDFCite
