    Abstract: In the past government preferred to sell natural gas to international users rather than keep it for local utilisation. The possible explanation to this is that more revenue is accruable from the sale of the natural gas internationally than locally, and market instabilities further limits the choice of local supply of natural gas. This reason has le... Show More

    Abstract: There is a growing interest which has accelerated efforts towards heavy oil production in recent years. This interest was stimulated by the rapidly exhausting conventional oil reserves which promises to leave the world, unless something is done, in less supply and scarcity of the world’s most dominant energy source. Unlike conventional light oil, h... Show More

    Abstract: Using molecular simulation technology based on classical mechanic methods, the physical adsorption conformation of the representative conventional gasoline molecule, ethanol molecule and its oxidation intermediates, including acetaldehyde and acetic acid, on different metal surfaces was performed. Furthermore, the interaction energy composed of van... Show More
