Abstract: A new microemulsion additive has been developed that is effective in remediating damaged wells and is highly effective in fluid recovery and relative permeability enhancement when applied in ...

Abstract: A technique for mapping damage surfaces is developed and applied to Westerly granite. A damage surface for an elastic-brittle material is similar in concept to a yield surface for an elastic-plastic ...

Abstract: In military base camp operations, the standard method of power generation is via the use of diesel generators. Unfortunately, these generators are often noisy and inefficient. Base camps could ...

Abstract: Conventional diesel engines are considered by some to be contributors to environmental problems since they emit NOx , a suspected acid rain precursor. Initial testing has shown that CWS-fueled ...

Abstract: A better understanding of the effects of precipitation and source area on blowing dust in the Sonoran Desert has been sought through the study of 1190 dust episodes occurring during the 1948?78 time period at Blythe, ...

Abstract: Many of the components on a gas turbine are subject to fouling and degradation over time due to debris buildup. For example, axial compressors are susceptible to degradation as a result of debris buildup on compressor ...

Abstract: Under a U.S. Army program, PCI has developed autothermal reforming catalysts for E85 to provide stable performance in the presence of fuel sulfur as well as corrosion inhibitors. The catalysts ...
