Corrosivity and Thermal Stability of Biocrude Oil for Co-Processing in FCC Feedlines: An Investigation and Risk Assessment
DownloadSpring 2023
Fast pyrolysis bio-oil is a promising renewable energy source derived from biomass. However, its high corrosivity and poor thermal stability have limited its widespread use as a drop-in fuel. One promising method for transforming low-quality biocrudes into drop-in fuels is co-processing with...

Ahmed, E., Henein, H., Qureshi, A., Liu, J.
Downhole tools made of dissolvable alloys (DAs) are getting more attractive, especially with the difficulties that arise from drilling wellbores with longer lateral distances. To date, most of the DAs are based on Al alloys (AAs) or Mg alloys, which offer undesirable mechanical properties. This...

Fall 2022
The application of dissolvable materials is becoming widely used in hydraulic fracturing, especially in low permeability reservoirs. To date, most of the DAs are based on Al alloys (AAs) or Mg alloys, which offer desirable dissolvability, yet limited mechanical properties. This work aims to...

Development of effective green lubricants for industrial drilling systems in aggressive environments
DownloadSpring 2024
In drilling systems used in the oil and gas industry, drilling equipment often encounters critical problems which could result in irreparable damage to metallic equipment. Chemical and physical interactions at the contact between different parts, such as drill bits, drill strings with well walls...

Development of Finite Element Modeling and Bayesian Parameter Estimation Strategies for Corroded RC Bridges towards Probabilistic Seismic Performance Assessment
DownloadFall 2022
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures, such as RC bridges, are designed to remain safe and functional for their lifetime, during which the impacts of aging may result in performance degradation. Steel bar corrosion is one of the most common causes of structural performance degradation in RC...
