    Abstract: Transport of particle suspensions in oil reservoirs is an essential phenomenon in many oil industry processes. Solid and liquid particles dispersed in the drilling fluid (mud) are trapped by the rock (porous medium) and permeability decline takes place during drilling fluid invasion into reservoir resulting in formation damage. The formation damage... Show More

    Abstract: Successful design and operation of a bioremediation process for soil contaminated with crude petroleum requires an in-depth understanding of the type of microorganisms involved, the specific reaction they perform, the factors that affect their performance, and their bioremediation kinetics. This paper attempts to develop the kinetic model for the p... Show More

    Abstract: This paper surveyed the most important, well known two-phase mass transfer models, namely film-, film-penetration- and surface renewal models, applying them to describe the three-phase mass transfer rates at the gas-liquid interface. These models should enable the user to predict the mass transfer enhancement in the presence of a third, in the mass... Show More
