Kinetic studies of the esterification of free fatty acid (FFA) of rubber seed oil (RSO) for biodiesel production was investigated in this work. Esterification of RSO was carried out in batch experiments using a 1 litre round bottom flask placed on a constant…
Idris et al.
Numerical simulations of isothermal turbulent gas-solid flow in the riser of a pilot-scale circulating fluidised bed reactor has been carried out using FLUENT CFD software. An Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase flow model was used. The constitutive equations in…

First break picking involves detecting the onset arrivals of refracted signals from a single signal source at the individual receiver in a receiver array. First-break picking can be done manually or automatically. This work outlines the procedures and…
Oladele et al.
The reservoirs in MGT field, deep offshore Niger Delta Basin Nigeria were studied with the aim of undertaking risk analysis of the identified prospects within the field through geological and volumetric assessments. Petrophysical analysis was carried out…
Fiberesima et al.
The reliability of prediction models in determining hydrate forming temperatures adequately is of paramount importance. Most correlations have been found to vary significantly from experimental hydrate forming temperature data. This study is focused on…
Idris et al.
The simulation framework was developed from the licensed computational fluid dynamics (CFD15) software to simulate the hydrodynamics of gas-solid flow in CFB/FCC riser reactors. The predictions from the commercial CFD code (CFX and fluent) were based on the…
