The effect of micro/nano-particles on pressure drop in Oil pipeline: Simulation

A high pressure drop happens when heavy oil with high viscosity moves through the oil pipeline. A variety of methods to avoid this pressure drop is available. One of which is injection of chemicals to reduce the viscosity and ultimately reduce pressure drop. Using the pipesim software, the effect of dispersion of nano and micro-particles […]

Effect of nonionic surfactant additives on the performance of nanofluid in the heat exchanger

A nanofluid is mixture of nano sized particles and a base fluid. This paper investigates by using laboratory based double pipe heat exchanger model, the performance of nanofluid containing about 48.46nm  particle size nanoparticles (ZnO) without or with addition of nonionic surfactant Rokanol K7 (500ppm) into the base fluid double distilled water to prepared three […]

Experimental study of applying colloidal nano Silica in improving sand-silt mixtures

Passive method is a new procedure in stabilizing loose soils. This methodology is a type of interlocking soil particles structures. In order to optimum improve in this method, it is necessary to achieve proper penetration length and increase the shear strength of parameters. Researches have shown an increased resistance to liquefaction and decreased permeability due […]

Improving the fluid loss and rheological characteristics of Oil-based drilling fluid by using Copper Oxide nanoparticles

A successful drilling operation depends strongly on a useful drilling fluid system. Using nanoparticles (NP)s to formulate intelligent drilling fluids gives them a wide range of optimal properties under different operating conditions and resolves any operational problems. In this study, in order to provide an effective solution for improving the rheological and high pressure/high temperature […]
