Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTime Dimension Parameters of the Dual-Porosity Reservoir Determination using Periodic Hydraulic Pulse TestingMarat Ovchinnikov, Kushtanova Galiya GatinishnaThe process of periodic hydraulic pulses propagation in porous fractured media of dual-porosity near a vertical well is considered. Using the calculation data as the base, it is shown that the effect of the time dimension constant on the form of the filtration wave curves is essential. The conclusions on possibility of hydrodynamic model types verification which adequately describe the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 9 Sep 2016 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePorosity Investigation of Kosova's ClayMakfire Sadiku, Naim Hasani, Altin MeleProblem statement: Acid activated clay minerals are used as catalysts in the desulphurization of crude oil or as catalyst carrier, drilling mud, bleaching earth. Approach: The efficiency of the acid activation can be described in two ways. As increase of the surface and as increase of the cumulative pore volume after the activation. Results: In different samples of the clay … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2011 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePorosity Analysis in Porous Brass Using Dual ApproachesRyan Yeargin, Rob Ramey, Cindy WatersThe goal of this research is to produce porous samples for various applications such as heat exchangers, filters and radiation shields. The level of porosity is an important objective yet the level of confidence in two main methods (hand calculations and microscopic analysis) is not high. This work will compare porosity values obtained from traditional hand calculations against analysis from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2016 · 8,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDissolution Sintering Technique to Create Porous Copper with Sodium Chloride Using Polyvinyl Alcohol Solution through Powder MetallurgyCynthia Waters, Stephen Ajinola, Mustafa SalihThe main purpose of this paper was to investigate the relative densities, porosities, compression strength and energy absorbed by porous copper (Cu) formed via the dissolution sintering technique using Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) solution as a binder with Sodium Chloride (NaCl) as space holder. Porous Cu was fabricated through powder metallurgy route using dissolution sintering technique by mixing Cu with NaCl … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2016 · 8,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPetrophysical Characterization and Flow Models for Agbada Reservoirs, Onshore Niger Delta, NigeriaPrince Suka Momta, John Owate Etu-Efeotor, Charles Ugwu UgwuezeThree selected reservoirs (XB, XC and XE) from three wells (A, B and C) occurring within the Agbada producing sands in part of the Greater Ughelli Depobelt of the onshore Niger Delta have been studied. The study aims at evaluating the petrophysical characteristics of the sand-bodies and also identifies the various flow units present within each reservoir. Petrophysical parameters were … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 21 Oct 2015 · 7,910 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhysical Properties of Rice Residues as Affected by Variety and Climatic and Cultivation Onditions in Three ContinentsA. E. Ghaly, Bingxi Li, Yaning ZhangRice husk and straw are by-products of rice cultivation and processing industry and can be used as an energy source. Proper understanding of the physical properties of rice residues is necessary for utilizing them in thermochemical conversion processes such as gasification and combustion. The physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) of rice husks and straws obtained … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 29 Aug 2012 · 11,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAvailability and Physical Properties of Residues from Major Agricultural Crops for Energy Conversion Through Thermochemical ProcessesYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiPlant residues from the major agricultural crops (wheat, rice, corn, soybean, sugarcane, coffee and cotton) are abundantly available renewable resources that can be used to supply energy through thermochemical conversion processes. The available amounts of plant residues from these crops and their physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) were determined. The annual residues from the wheat, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2012 · 9,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhysical Properties of Wheat Straw Varieties Cultivated Under Different Climatic and Soil Conditions in Three ContinentsYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiOver 500 million tonnes of wheat straw are produced annually worldwide, the majority of which are burnt in the field causing significant environmental and health problems as well as serious traffic accidents in addition to loss of a valuable resource. Wheat straw is abundantly available and renewable and can be used as an energy source in gasification and combustion systems. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2012 · 21,088 accessesView PDFCite
