  • Active control of hydrodynamic slug flow 
    Inyiama, Fidelis Chidozie (Cranfield University, 2013-04)
    Multiphase flow is associated with concurrent flow of more than one phase (gas-liquid, liquid-solid, or gas-liquid-solid) in a conduit. The simultaneous flow of these phases in a flow line, may initiate a slug flow in the ...
  • Experimental and simulation studies on performance of a compact gas/liquid separation system 
    Zhou, Ying Hui (Cranfield University, 2013-01)
    The need of exploiting the offshore oil reserves and reducing the equipment costs becomes the motivation for developing new compact separation techniques. In the past years, the development of compact separators has ...
  • Multiphase severe slug flow control 
    Ogazi, Anayo Isaac (Cranfield University, 2011-01)
    Severe slug flow is one of the most undesired multiphase flow regimes, due to the associated instability, which imposes major challenges to flow assurance in the oil and gas industry. This thesis presents a comprehensive ...
  • Nonlinear model predictive control using automatic differentiation 
    Al Seyab, Rihab Khalid Shakir (Cranfield University, 2006)
    Although nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) might be the best choice for a nonlinear plant, it is still not widely used. This is mainly due to the computational burden associated with solving online a set of ...
  • Optimization of Reservoir Waterflooding 
    Grema, Alhaji Shehu (Cranfield University, 2014-10)
    Waterflooding is a common type of oil recovery techniques where water is pumped into the reservoir for increased productivity. Reservoir states change with time, as such, different injection and production settings will ...
  • Petroleum refinery scheduling with consideration for uncertainty 
    Hamisu, Aminu Alhaji (Cranfield University, 2015-07)
    Scheduling refinery operation promises a big cut in logistics cost, maximizes efficiency, organizes allocation of material and resources, and ensures that production meets targets set by planning team. Obtaining accurate ...
  • Predictive condition monitoring of industrial systems for improved maintenance and operation 
    Ruiz Cárcel, Cristóbal (Cranfield University, 2014-07)
    Maintenance strategies based on condition monitoring of the different machines and devices in an industrial process can minimize downtime, increase the safety of plant operations and help in the process of decision-taking ...
  • Studies on non-linear dynamic process monitoring 
    Iketubosin, P. P. (Cranfield University, 2011-07)
    Owing to the numerous benefits of process monitoring, the subject has attracted a lot of attention in the last two decades. Process monitoring is an art of identifying abnormal deviations in a process from the normal ...
