Insight into thermal–hydraulic correlations of plate fin-and-tube heat exchangers is of great interest in many industrial applications. Numerical simulations allow to efficiently and accurately obtain air-side heat transfer and pressure drop correlations for a broad variety of heat exchanger configurations...

...local power supply based on fossil fuel. Alternative power supply, e.g., wind power, has a large potential to reduce the fossil fuel use, and thereby the CO 2 and NO emissions. Potential benefits with such a solution are studied by considering a system consisting of five interconnected oil platforms...

...spills based on thermodynamics and nucleation theory which includes predictions of both triggering and vapor explosion consequence. We discover that the model predictions can be accurately characterized by two independent parameters alone: The initial fraction of methane and the molar mass of the remaining...

...slicks from sea surfaces and to generate small oil-droplet dispersions, which may result in enhanced biodegradation of the oil. In this study, dispersibility and biodegradation of chemically dispersed oils with different physical-chemical properties (paraffinic, naphthenic and asphaltenic oils) were compared...

A small and meso-scale study of the weathering properties of Garantiana crude oil has been performed at 5°C and 13°C in SINTEFs laboratory. The data are used as input for SINTEF's Oil Weathering Model (OWM) to predict the properties and behaviour of the Garantiana crude oil in a spill situation at sea...
