Bio Solvent EOR: Performance Assessment of Plant Extracts as Asphaltene Inhibitor
Abstract: Changes in pressure and temperature during oil production and transportation most notably during CO2 injection for enhanced recovery could lead to changes in the oil composition and deposition of asphaltene. Deposition of asphaltene near the wellbore region, production tubing and production facilities could cause severe flow assurance problem. Physical removal of asphaltene is costly and in most cases it is not preferred. A more favorable option is to prevent the …

6000 inhibitors for aluminum and its alloys
Abstract: 6XXX series of aluminum alloys suffer from severe corrosion in acidic saline medium. These alloys are used for architectural, automobiles, aviation, household appliances, containers and electronic devices. Organic-inorganic sol-gel hybrid coatings are synthesized on these alloys. Rear earth inhibitors consider lanthanum inhibitors to be better than cerium inhibitors. These contexts discuss epoxy-silica-zirconia by sol-gel coatings, paddy residue, colchicines, rare earth coatings and ionic liquid for composites

Visible and Infrared Light Detection
Abstract: A circuit is made to detect either visible or infrared light. It is designed by using different light detectors, such as, infrared phototransistor, visible phototransistor, and photoresistor. If no light is shining on the detector in the circuit, the green LED is flashing. When the light is shining on the detector, the red LED starts flashing instead of the green one. Op-amp LMC 6482 builds up a simple voltage follower …

Corrosion inhibitors for 7000 aluminum alloys
Abstract: Wrought aluminium-zinc-magnesium copper (AA7000) series alloys have commonly used in aerospace industry and super-jet boats industry due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, toughness and resistance to fatigue. Variation in medium of exposure varies fatigue crack growth rates in these alloys. Stress corrosion crack is resisted by fine precipitates in alloys. Organic corrosion inhibitors are supposed to be mandatory from environmental legislation. Radioactive pitting corrosion has inhibited by conversion coatings.
