An Al/Zr Based Clay Stabilizer for High pH Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sandstone formations are exposed to a variety of high pH fluids, including: hydraulic fracturing using high pH borate gels, alkalinebased chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, waterbased drilling fluids, and cementing ...
Theoretical Model for Observation of the Conversion Efficiency into Quantum Dot Solar Cells
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this work, a theoretical model for investigating the induced photocurrent and the corresponding power conversion efficiency is established. The quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs) model is used to determine the dependence ...

Experimental and Theoretical Studies for the Behavior of Strip Footing on Oil-Contaminated Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of plain-strain model tests carried out on both clean sand and oil-contaminated sand loaded with a rigid strip footing. The objectives of this study are to determine the influence ...
Uplift Behavior of Vertical Piles Embedded in Oil-Contaminated Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There are several problems when dealing with oil-contaminated soil that affect environmental quality and alter the geotechnical properties of the soil. The influence of oil contamination on the uplift performance of model ...
Curved Parametric Segments for the Stress Field of 3-D Dislocation Loops
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Under applied mechanical forces, strong mutual interaction or other thermodynamic forces, dislocation shapes become highly curved. We present here a new method for accurate computations of self ...
Challenges During Shallow and Deep Carbonate Reservoirs Stimulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carbonate reservoir stimulation has been carried out for years using HCl or HClbased fluids. High HCl concentration should not be used when the well completion has Crbased alloy in which the protective layer is chrome oxide ...
Combined Effects of Overheating and Soot-Blower Erosion on Reheater Tubing in a Gas-Fired Large Capacity Boiler
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In a large capacity tangentially fired boiler, the final reheater tubing sustained abnormal oxidation and localized excessive metal wastage in a short time of the unit operation. The root causes ...
Geomorphologic Rainfall‐Runoff Model: Incorporating Philip's Infiltration Expression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a watershed discharge hydrograph simulation model, based on the hydraulically based geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH), developed by Kirshen and Bras (1983). This IUH was derived as a ...
Finite Element Analysis of Aeroelasticity of Plates and Shells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A review of the finite element method applied to the problem of supersonic aeroelastic stability of plates and shells is presented. The review is limited to linear models. Some new contributions ...
