It is well known that approximately 30% of Original Oil in Place (OOIP) is produced by water
flooding. Therefore, to improve the residual oil recovery, the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) …

Nanoparticles (NPs) are currently gaining wide acceptance in the field of petroleum
engineering. They are applied in different areas of petroleum exploration and production …

Although hardness has long been regarded as a primary material property which defines
wear resistance, there is strong evidence to suggest that the elastic modulus can also have …

This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and
nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and …

In recent years, near-nano (submicron) and nanostructured materials have attracted
increasingly more attention from the materials community. Nanocrystalline materials are …

The current status of research and development on the structure and properties of
nanocrystalline materials is reviewed. Nanocrystalline materials are polycrystalline materials …

An Al-3% Mg solid solution alloy was subjected to intense plastic deformation, using either
equal-channel angular (ECA) pressing or torsion straining, to produce grain sizes in the …

Abstract Al-4.5% Cu alloy was used as a matrix at 2%, 4% and 6% of bamboo leaf ash (BLA)
which was extruded from agro waste and was used as reinforcement. The composite which …

The present work adopts an embedded layer (two interface) approximation to a two-
component multilayered material, and examines how the critical resolved shear stress for …

The creation of large magnetic fields is a necessary component in many technologies,
ranging from magnetic resonance imaging, electric motors and generators, and magnetic …
