Our results suggest that introducing highly electronegative functional groups can improve the performance of hydrocarbon-based membranes, without the need for fluorine atoms.
This article presents a comparison of the properties and performance of hydrocarbons as refrigerants in small-size heat pump and refrigeration systems (<20 kW cooling).
The risk of investment in petroleum industry is usually high due to uncertainties associated with performance prediction of hydrocarbon reservoir.
New design tools allow for the optimization of nanophase separation of structurally reinforced hydrophobic domains and concentrated hydrophilic domains, thereby improving the performance of aromatic hydrocarbon membranes.
The reformer configuration and operating parameters have been examined in order to optimise the performance of the hydrocarbon-SCR catalyst, which is promoted by the presence of H2 but inhibited by CO.
The importance of crude oil viscosity makes its accurate determination necessary for reservoir performance calculations, evaluation of hydrocarbon reserves, planning thermal methods of enhanced oil recovery, and designing production equipment and pipelines.
It was found that the mode of Ni-support interaction controls the state, dispersion, and reducibility of Ni active component, and consequently, catalyst performance in ATR of hydrocarbon fuels.
