Improving the carbon capture efficiency for gas power plants through amine-based absorbents (2020)
Journal Article
Hasan, S., Abbas, A., & Nasr, G. (2021). Improving the carbon capture efficiency for gas power plants through amine-based absorbents. Sustainability, 13(1), 72. https://doi.org/10.3390/su13010072

Environmental concern for our planet has changed significantly over time due to climate change, caused by an increasing population and the subsequent demand for electricity, and thus increased power generation. Considering that natural gas is regarde... Read More about Improving the carbon capture efficiency for gas power plants through amine-based absorbents.

Enhanced oil recovery through integration of ultrasound and polymer flooding (2020)
Thesis
Hassan, K. Enhanced oil recovery through integration of ultrasound and polymer flooding. (Thesis). University of Salford

Initially, when an oil well is drilled the oil gushes to the surface at high pressure. However, with time the pressure declines leaving more than 50% of the oil trapped in the reservoir. Even with the introduction of current technologies, more than 4... Read More about Enhanced oil recovery through integration of ultrasound and polymer flooding.

Measurements and analysis of Non-Methane VOC (NMVOC) emissions from major domestic aerosol sprays at “source” (2020)
Journal Article
Nourian, A., Abba, M., & Nasr, G. (2021). Measurements and analysis of Non-Methane VOC (NMVOC) emissions from major domestic aerosol sprays at “source”. Environment International, 146, 106152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2020.106152

Non-Methane Volatile Organic Compounds (NMVOCs) from domestic aerosol sprays are
emerging pollutants and have substantial negative effects on human health and the
environment. This study, for the first time, carried out quantification of the NMVOC... Read More about Measurements and analysis of Non-Methane VOC (NMVOC) emissions from major domestic aerosol sprays at “source”.

Utilization of fine water sprays in explosion mitigation : cold trial (2020)
Journal Article
Johnston, S., Nasr, G., & Nourian, A. (2020). Utilization of fine water sprays in explosion mitigation : cold trial. Atomization and Sprays, 30(6), 431-450. https://doi.org/10.1615/AtomizSpr.2020034356

For the past fifty years, there has been a great deal of interest using water-based explosion suppression systems in mitigating/reducing the impact of thermal explosions and their consequential overpressures. Previous research focused on the suppress... Read More about Utilization of fine water sprays in explosion mitigation : cold trial.

Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer (2020)
Journal Article
Akpan, E., Enyi, G., & Nasr, G. (2020). Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer. Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technologies, 10, 1933-1948. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13202-020-00837-0

Xanthan gum is commonly used in drilling fluids to provide viscosity, solid suspension, and fluid-loss control. However, it is sensitive to high temperatures and not tolerant of field contaminants. This paper presents an experimental study on the eff... Read More about Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer.
