Effect of chemical modification on the flow and electrical properties of neem oil derivatives

ABDELMALIK A. A*, Umar S., Sadiq U.

Seed oil has been proposed as alternative base fluid for drilling mud but its stability to oxidation is still an issue to deal with. This paper reports the influence of stabilizing neem oil through chemical modification on its flow and electric conduction properties. Ester derivatives were produced from laboratory purified neem oil. The purified...

Electrical conduction and dielectric loss characteristics in natural ester dielectric fluid

ABDELMALIK A. A*

Alkyl ester derivatives of palm kernel oil have been prepared for use as bio-dielectrics in oil filled High Voltage (HV) electric equipment. Electrical conduction and loss characteristics of the ester derivatives were studied to understand the behaviour of the material under applied electric field. Frequency response analyzer was used to study e...
