Abstract: Two commercially available water-in-oil emulsifiers were tested to determine the effect of water/residual oil emulsions on air pollutant emissions and thermal efficiency of a packaged boiler. Of ...

Abstract: An experimental program to determine the effect of cyclic radial rolling contact load on the microstructure of AISI 52100 steel quenched and tempered to 50 Rockwell C hardness is reported. The ...

Abstract: The application of active and passive buoyance control as an aid to deep marine pipelines has been quantitatively investigated. The use of buoys yields a substantial reduction of barge thrust ...

Abstract: Two pilot-scale (0.73 MW or 2.5 × 106 Btu/hr) firetube package boilers were retrofitted for fuel oil reburning application for NOx emission control. When firing distillate fuel oil (0.01 ...

Abstract: As the development of offshore oil and gas production proceeds, the dynamic stresses in pipelines induced by laying operations become more important. The contribution of this paper is to the ...

Abstract: A vertically fired natural-draft petroleum-refinery crude-oil process heater was modified to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx ) emissions by installing staged combustion air lances. Baseline NO ...

Abstract: Jet fan aerodynamic behavior was investigated using wind tunnel modeling. Conditions were created to simulate mine and vehicular tunnel ventilation where these fans are finding increased application. ...

Abstract: The performance and air pollution emissions of an experimental water/oil emulsion burner are presented. The burner was fired with two residual oils at selected emulsion water fractions. In ...
