, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ramezani Saadatabdi, Ahmad (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this research UHMWPE/CB nanocomposites were prepared via in situ polymerization using Bi-supported Ziegler-Natta catalytic systems. Magnesium etoxide and carbon black were used as supports of catalyst. TiCl4 accompanied by triisobutyl aluminum and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) constituted Ziegler-Natta catalytic system. Preparation of catalyst and polymerization were done in slurry phase under the argon atmosphere. Then, structural, thermal and mechanical properties of produced nanocomposites with different CB content were evaluated by SEM, DSC, TGA, DMTA and tensile tests. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images also certified very good dispersion of CBs throughout PE matrix....

Abstract
In this study, reinforcement of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was investigated using the sol-gel surface modified diamond nanoparticles (NDs). Nanocomposite samples were synthesized via in-situ polymerization using bi-supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and contact angle measurements proved the proper silanization (∼1.9%) of NDs. Characterization of the catalysts revealed decrease in the activity of catalysts in presence of NDs which were responsible for the lower average molecular weight of the samples. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed an improved dispersion of the modified NDs in...

Abstract
In this work, the potential of auto-ignition of heavy oil during in-situ combustion (ISC) process was studied. Kinetic studies were carried out using Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Accelerating Rate Calorimetric (ARC) techniques. Effects of oxygen partial pressure, reservoir pressure and clay on auto ignition condition were investigated on a number of different heavy oil samples from south west Iran mixed with silica sand or crushed carbonate rock and clay. Based on the experimental results obtained by TGA runs, the kinetic equation was derived for different oil samples in the presence of different sands. Effect of partial pressure of oxygen in...

Abstract
Originally, application of nano zero valent iron (nZVI) particles for the removal of lead (Pb2+) in porous media was studied. At first, stabilized nZVI (S-nZVI) was prepared and characterized, then used in batch and continuous systems. Based on the batch experiments, corresponding reaction kinetics well fitted with the pseudo-first-order adsorption model, and reaction rate ranged from 0.01 to 0.04 g/mg/min depend on solution pH and the molar ratio between Fe and Pb. In batch tests, optimal condition with more than 90% removal efficiency at 60 min was observed at a pH range of 4 to 6 and Fe/Pb ratio more than 2.5. Continuous experiments exposed that Pb2+ remediation was as well influenced by...

Abstract
Air injection, and the resulting in-situ combustion process, utilizes an inexpensive injectant, air, to accelerate oil recovery and increase reserves. The potential of auto ignition of heavy oil during in situ combustion process was studied in KEM reservoir. The risk of carbonate decomposition due to high temperature was examined. The carbonate rock decomposition was taken at 650°C. The peak of low temperature combustion by producing CO was initiated at 275°C when air was injected. There was no risk of decomposition of the carbonate Sarvak formation due to high temperatures of the process. Enrichment of the injecting fluid by oxygen increased the possibility of ignition. Ignition occurred...

Abstract
Improved methods of constructing wells and producing wells are one of the keys to increasing field profitability. In the areas of well construction and well productivity optimization, many of the problems encountered are related to the geomechanics of the reservoir and the overlying layers; these problems include well-bore stability, sand production and hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing is a complicated phenomenon in which deformation of the porous medium and fluid leak-off to the surrounding area take place simultaneously. Their interaction, therefore, must not be overlooked. In the past, some experimental researchers performed laboratory investigations on the phenomenon of...

Abstract
The synthesis of nanocomposites via in situ grafting polymerization due to its ability to produce polymeric materials with promising microscopic and macroscopic characteristics is becoming very attractive. In this paper, different poly(L-Lactide)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PLLA-b-PCL) copolymers were in situ synthesized in the presence of modified titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (mTNP) as the initiator and stannous octoate as the catalyst. The surface of TiO2 was modified by grafting aminopropyl trimethoxy silane to improve initiator efficiency. Copolymers with 90/10, 70/30, and 50/50 mass ratio of L-lactide/ ε-caprolactone and 5 wt% of mTNP (proportional to ε-caprolactone) were...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Varahram, Naser (Supervisor) ; Davami, Parviz (Supervisor)
Abstract
This research focused on mechanical properties of Al-TiB2 composite in as cast, heat treated and extruded condition. The composites were produced by mixing Al-Ti and Al-B master alloyes. Since some engineering parts during service are supposed to tolerate severe wear conditions, in this research abrasive wear condition was wxamined using pin on disk method. In a fixed load and abrasive disk, composites showed better resistance against wear in comparison with matrix alloy. Furtheremore, T6 heat treatment made composites more resistant against abrasive wear. Finally the best wear resistance was accompolished when composite was extruded and then heat treated. While increase in reinforcement...

Abstract
The effects of both Li modification and cooling rate on the microstructure and tensile properties of an in situ prepared Al-15%Mg2Si composite were investigated. It was found that the addition of 0.3%Li reduces the average size of Mg2Si primary particles from ∼30 to ∼6 μm. The effect of cooling rate was investigated by the use of a mold with different section test bars. The results showed an increase in both UTS and elongation values with reduction in section thicknesses corresponding to increasing cooling rates. Adding Li also raised the tensile strength and elongation values and reduced the number of decohered particles observed in fracture surfaces thereby increasing the alloy's...

Abstract
The top-down in situ combustion (ISC) involves the stable propagation of the combustion front from the top vertical injector to the bottom horizontal producer. Apart from laboratory studies in conventional sandstones, no application of the process in fractured carbonates has been addressed yet. The authors modified a successful combustion tube history matched model of an Iranian low-permeable heavy oil reservoir called Kuh-E-Mond to investigate the feasibility of ISC in fractured carbonate reservoirs mimicking block-scale combustion cells. Effects of fractured geometrical properties such as orientation, location, extension, density, spacing, and dispersion were considered. Results confirmed...
