Synergistic Effect of Natural and Synthetic Polymers as Drag Reducing Agents in Single Phase Water Flow

One of the most power consuming applications in the process and petroleum industry is the turbulent means of  transporting fluid over long distances through pipelines. High pumping energy is required to overcome the  occurring frictional pressure drop. An economical approach has been reported where addition of small amount in  parts per million (pp...

Photo-Degradation of Direct Yellow 96 In UV/TiO2 and UV/H2O2 using Factorial Design

In this research, factorial design have been employed to study the influence of four important factors; pH, catalyst dosage, irradiation time and dye concentration in the treatment of C.I. Direct Yellow 96 dyestuff using UV/TiO2 and UV/H2O2 photo-degradation processes. The results indicate that the adsorbent dosage and irradiation time exhibit a si...

Investigation and comparison of the optimal condition for the production of biodiesel from shea butter oil and groundnut oil using homogeneous catalysis

YUSUF N*

Due to the depletion of world petroleum reserves and increased environmental concerns, recent interest in alternative source for petroleum-based fuels has been developed. Biodiesel arose as the potential candidate for a diesel substitute due to the similarities it has with petroleum-based diesel. Chemically biodiesel is monoalkyl esters of long cha...
