Diesel Adulteration Detection Using Gaseous Vapor Emission
Abstract: Diesel adulteration is the illegal or unauthorized introduction of foreign substances into pure diesel,causing the product to not conform to the requirements and specifications for use in the Oil and GasIndustry. Current methods to detect diesel adulteration require chemical laboratory experiments tomeasure parameters such as density, API gravity, viscosity, flash point, and evaporation point. Thesemethods require specialized, expensive equipment and cannot be utilized be quickly and readilyemployed at point of …

Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (HNBR): A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: HNBR is produced by the hydrogenation of nitrile rubber (NBR) using either a homogeneous or heterogeneous technique. NBR is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile monomers. The hydrogenation process involves adding hydrogen to the nitrile butadiene copolymer, which results in improved resistance to heat, oxidation, and chemicals compared to NBR. This process alters the molecular structure of the rubber, providing it with superior properties compared to its unmodified counterpart, NBR. …

Evaluation of Agro-based Adsorbents for Oil Spill Remediation in Freshwater and Saltwater Environments: Kinetic and Adsorption Model Analysis
Abstract: Environmental pollution caused by oil spills poses significant risks to both human health and ecosystems, particularly in regions like Nigeria’s Niger Delta, where oil spills are frequent. Conventional methods for oil spill cleanup have limitations, which has prompted research into alternative, more effective techniques. This study investigates the use of agro-based materials, specifically plantain and banana species, combined with clay soil as adsorbents for oil removal in freshwater and saltwater …

Firefly Algorithm–Based Optimization of Processing Parameters for Enhanced Performance of Polymer Composite Materials
Abstract: Polymer composite materials are extensively used in aerospace, automotive, and oil & gas applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and design flexibility. However, achieving optimal mechanical and thermal performance strongly depends on precise control of processing parameters such as curing temperature, energy consumption, and material utilization. Conventional trial-and-error approaches often lead to excessive energy usage, non-uniform curing, and sub-optimal composite properties. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an …

Enhancing Chatter Resistance in Deep Hole Boring Through Modified Tool Design: A Study on Impact of Length-To-Diameter (L/D) Ratio
Abstract: Deep hole boring is a specialized machining process crucial for creating precise bores with high length-to-diameter (L/D) ratios, particularly vital in aerospace, automotive, and oil and gas industries. The L/D ratio is pivotal for stability and performance. Chatter, a detrimental vibration phenomenon, is a significant concern in deep hole boring, influenced by the L/D ratio. Higher L/D ratios increase chatter, leading to poor surface finish and reduced tool life. Longer …
