2 Method for controlling sand in thermal recovery of oil from tar sands1978-09-19controlling sand; thermal recovery of oil; tar sands oil recovery; tar sands; oil recovery; patent; oil productionA method is disclosed for producing oil from a subterranean reservoir of tar sands as unconsolidated oil bearing sands. The method comprises basically (1) setting a screen in an open hole, the screen being large enough to pass a majority of the formation sand and small enough to retain a packing mat...
3 Explaining the "three inch rule": why model flares don't match full-scale2022It was Pohl and co-workers who discovered the so-called "Three Inch Rule" in their work on flares in the 1980s. They found that model flares with pipe diameter less than three inches do not have the same Combustion Efficiency (CE) and stability behaviour as full-scale flares, at least when wind is n...

6 Attrition and abrasion models for oil shale process modeling1991-10-25As oil shale is processed, line particles, much smaller than the original shale are created. This process is called attrition or more accurately abrasion. In this paper, models of abrasion are presented for oil shale being processed in several unit operations. Two of these unit operations, a fluidiz...

12 Oil shale retorting processes: A technical overview1984-03The challenge facing the oil shale industry is to devise a simple and efficient retorting process that operates at low cost. This will require a thorough understanding of the important physical and chemical processes that occur during retorting, mathematical modeling to analyze the complex interacti...
13 Computational study of the anode baking industrial furnaceTurbulent flow; Eddy dissipation model; Combustion, NOx; Zeldovich mechanismIn the aluminium industry, the Hall-Héroult process is used for smelting of aluminium using carbon electrodes such as anodes. The baking process of anodes is required for their maximum efficiency during this electrolysis process. The anode baking process contributes up to 15% costs in the aluminium...
