  - GRANULAR MATTER - Year 2018

  Physical properties and X-ray tomography images of five different granular materials: glass bead, glass grit, short grain white rice, sorghum and clay granules (Seramis) are investigated to select the most promising materials for numerical simulations and time-lapse X-ray tomography imaging. The examined materials represent granular materials of non-biological origin (glass bead, glass grit and Seramis) and granular plant materials...

  - Advances in Materials Science - Year 2016

  The P110 steel specimens were subjected to ultrasonic cavitation erosion in different compositions of drilling muds and surfactant additive. The test procedure was based on ASTM-G-32 standard recommendations. API 5CT-P110 steel is used for pipes in oil and gas industry. The harsh environment and high velocity of flows poses corrosive and erosive threat on materials used there. The composition of drilling fluid influences its rheological...

  - Advances in Materials Science - Year 2015

  Among the minerals found in the earth's crust, clay minerals are of the widest interest. Due to the specific properties such as plasticity, absorbing and catalytic properties clay minerals are used in many industries (oil & gas, chemistry, pharmacy, refractory technology, ceramics etc.). In drilling, a phenomenon of swelling clays is frequently observed. It has an important impact on the cementing quality. During the last few decades...

  - Energetyka, problemy energetyki i gospodarki paliwowo - energetycznej - Year 2014

  Narastające globalne zapotrzebowanie energetyczne, oraz wzrost świadomości ekologicznej społeczeństwa zaowocowały dużym zainteresowaniem przedsiębiorców nowymi technologiami spalania. Jedną z innowacyjnych technologii spalania wychodzącą na przeciw i spełniającą oczekiwania przemysłu jest technologia spalania HiTAC (ang. High Temperature Air Combustion). Technologia ta pozwala na optymalne egzergiczne pozyskiwanie energii w postaci...
