Fine spray behaviour upon impaction of varied material surfaces
Presentation / Conference
Stewart, J., Nasr, G., Burby, M., & Nourian, A. Fine spray behaviour upon impaction of varied material surfaces. Presented at ILASS Americas 2010 - 22nd annual conference on liquid atomization and spray systems, Cincinnati, Ohio

A mobile fine spray unit, utilising a spill-return atomiser has been developed for the purpose of decontamination within healthcare environments. The unit must be able to spray uniformly onto any given surface, providing ‘mist like’ coverage. Any s... Read More about Fine spray behaviour upon impaction of varied material surfaces.

Fine sprays for coating and decontamination in the healthcare environments
Presentation / Conference
Nasr, G., Burby, M., Nourian, A., & Nagib, M. Fine sprays for coating and decontamination in the healthcare environments. Presented at ILASS 2011 - the 24th European Conference on Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems, Estoril, Portugal

A spray unit has been developed for the purpose of coating and decontamination within healthcare environments. The unit provides uniform spray coverage onto a given surface, in absence of streaking patternations. This investigation used four exempla...

Effect of swirl chamber on uniform spray coating of surfaces using Spill-Return Atomiser (SRA)
Presentation / Conference
Burby, M., Nasr, G., Nourian, A., & Stewart, J. Effect of swirl chamber on uniform spray coating of surfaces using Spill-Return Atomiser (SRA). Presented at ILASS Americas 2011 - 23rd annual conference on liquid atomization and spray systems, Ventura, California, United States of America

The atomisation of liquid disinfectants is an efficient means of delivering disinfectant agents within the healthcare environment; a Spill-Return Swirl Atomiser (SRA) with a long swirl chamber was designed for this purpose. The control of spray chara... Read More about Effect of swirl chamber on uniform spray coating of surfaces using Spill-Return Atomiser (SRA).

Characterising high pressure overlapping sprays using Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA)
Presentation / Conference
Nourian, A., Burby, M., El Kamkhi, M., & Nasr, G. Characterising high pressure overlapping sprays using Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA). Presented at ILASS Americas 2011 - 23rd annual conference on liquid atomization and spray systems, Ventura, California, United States of America

The high pressure overlapping flat spray atomiser are used for removing scale deposition and the blockage that normally experienced in the well bore of oil and gas production tubing. This method provides significant advantages over current scale remo... Read More about Characterising high pressure overlapping sprays using Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDA).

Spray coating in health environment
Presentation / Conference
Burby, M., Nasr, G., Nourian, A., & Stewart, J. Spray coating in health environment. Presented at ILASS Americas 2012 - 24th annual conference on liquid atomization and spray systems, San Antonio, Texas, United States of America

The effective use of disinfectants on surfaces, therefore, within the health care environment constitutes an important factor in preventing Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). For surface disinfection processes in hospitals the open bucket and close... Read More about Spray coating in health environment.

Removal of scales in petroleum production tubing utilising high pressure atomisers
Presentation / Conference
Enyi, G., Nasr, G., Nourian, A., El Kamkhi, M., & Burby, M. Removal of scales in petroleum production tubing utilising high pressure atomisers. Presented at ICLASS 2012, 12th Triennial International Conference on Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems, Heidelberg, Germany

Scale is a mineral deposit usually formed on surfaces in contact with water. Scale deposition in petroleum production wells can be attributed to mixing of incompatible waters, changes in thermodynamic, kinetic and hydrodynamic conditions in oilfiel...

The effect of fracture orientation on permeability
Thesis
Al-Shukri, M. (in press). The effect of fracture orientation on permeability. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Shale contain tiny pores where oil and gas are trapped, and fracking is undertaken to interconnect them and to release oil and gas. Furthermore, hydraulic fracturing is the process of injecting high-pressure fluids as high as 10 k psi into rocks to f... Read More about The effect of fracture orientation on permeability.

A study into the mapping of an induced fracture in a fine grained sediment in biaxial and triaxial stress formations
Thesis
Penketh, S. (in press). A study into the mapping of an induced fracture in a fine grained sediment in biaxial and triaxial stress formations. (Thesis). University of Salford

Unconventional hydrocarbon extraction has increased in the last twenty years due to the post-industrial west needing to increase energy security. This has meant tapping into hydrocarbon resources that are trapped within impermeable sediments. Shale...
