There is a need to re-vitalize science and technology education to suit today’s world. The specific aim for this study is to determine how school science in early years of schooling impacts on years 11 and 12 science studies in the areas of materials science, and subsequent further tertiary studies. Public education records were investigated to obtain post hoc enrolment data to establish trends and decline in enrolments in physics and chemistry in the final years of high school which revealed a trend in enrolments falling over a ten year period. The student population in science of physics and chemistry were not well prepared for future studies and are a challenge for students undertaking engineering and technology studies at a tertiary level. It is proposed that primary and high school science subjects be made more popular by integrating popular aspects of materials in everyday life, so making science an appealing part of the syllabus. Initiating these syllabus changes will enhance the way science subjects are taught to encourage studies into engineering.

In this paper, a peroxide-tertiary amine oxidation-reduction initiator system was used to synthesize a cross-linked polyacrylamide/bentonite composite at room temperature. The composite could contain up to 50% bentonite. Performance studies showed that the salt tolerance of the composite was enhanced compared to bentonite. The structure of the composite was characterized and analyzed by XRD, FTIR, and TG. Other than a slight increase in the interlamellar spacing, the structure of bentonite did not change during its aggregation. The composite therefore had enhanced dispersion properties and improved thermal stability.

Whist there are abundant studies on the challenges of implementing curricular changes in schools, less information apparently appears to be available on the challenges of implementing the same in engineering at polytechnic colleges in Zimbabwe. To bridge this gap in knowledge, this study sought to analyse the challenges emanating from implementing curriculum changes in engineering at one polytechnic college in Zimbabwe. The aim was to determine how these challenges effected teaching and learning of engineering courses as well as suggesting strategies to enhance the same. The population in this study comprised of all the 107 lecturers in the department of engineering at Harare Polytechnic in Zimbabwe. The study employed the quantitative research methodology and adopted a descriptive survey design. It utilised stratified sampling to select a sample of 74 lecturers from the engineering department. The study utilised a questionnaire with both open-ended and closed-ended questions to gather data. The study revealed that the addition of non-core subjects in the engineering curriculum added more work to the detriment of the core subjects. Lack of lecturer consultation, resources and staff development were among the challenges cited as affecting the effectiveness of teaching and learning of the new engineering curriculum. The study recommends that there be stakeholder engagement and an evaluation of the impact of the intended engineering curriculum changes before their implementation to mitigate against the negative effects of such changes.

Industry and related work and workplaces are constantly changing as a result of the implementation of new technologies, substances and work processes, changes in the composition of the workforce and the labor market, and new forms of employment and work organization. The implementation of new technologies represents certain ambivalence. Next to the positive impact on workers’ health, new risks and challenges can arise in the area of process and occupational safety and health of people at work. On these bases, it follows the need for predicting and handling the new risks, in order to ensure safe and healthy workplaces in the future. The aim of most forecasting studies is not only to identify new emerging risks, but also to foresee changes that could affect occupational safety and health. However, a number of questions still require proper investigation, i.e., “What impact do new emerging risks have on tertiary education in the area of Safety engineering? Has tertiary education already reacted to progress in science and research and does it have these innovations in its syllabus? How are tertiary graduates prepared for the real world of new technologies?” This paper represents a first attempt in the literature to provide answers to the raised questions, by a survey approach involving academics, Health Safety and Environment (HSE) industrial experts and university students in the Czech Republic. Even if statistical evaluation is limited to a single Country and to a small sample size, the obtained results allow suggesting practical recommendations that can contribute to ensuring new challenges in the area of education by addressing relevant culture issues needed to support new workplace realities according to the newly defined Safety 4.0.

ABSTRACT
KINETIC STUDIES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TERTIARY ETHERS USED AS GASOLINE ADDITIVES
Boz, Nezahat
Ph. D., Department of Chemical Engineering
Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Timur Dogu
Co-supervisor: Prof. Dr. GülSen Dogu June 2004, 174 pages In the present study, the kinetics studies for etherification reactions were investigated in detail. In the first phase of present study, different acidic resin catalysts were prepared by the heat treatment of Amberlyst-15 catalysts at 220°
C at different durations of time and also by the synthesis of sulfonated styrene divinylbenzene cross-linked resins at different conditions. A linear dependence of reaction rate on hydrogen ion-exchange capacity was in 2M2B+ethanol reaction. However, in the case of 2M1B+ethanol reaction hydrogen ion-exchange capacities over 2.8 meq.H+/g did not cause further increase in reaction rate, which was concluded to be majorly due to significance of diffusional resistances. DRIFTS experiments carried out with alcohols, isobutylene, isoamylenes and TAME (tert-amyl-methyl-ether) in a temperature range of 333-353 K supported a Langmuir-Hinshelwood type reaction mechanism involving adsorbed isoolefins molecules forming a bridged structure between &ndash
SO3H sites of the catalyst and adsorbed alcohol molecules. A rate expression derived basing on the mechanism proposed from the DRIFTS results gave good agreement with the published data. Reaction rate was found to give a sharp maximum at ethanol activity of around 0.1. The third phase of this work included evaluation of effective diffusivities and adsorption equilibrium constants of methanol, ethanol and 2M2B, in Amberlyst-15 from moment analysis of batch adsorber dynamic results. Models proposed for monodisperse and bidisperse pore structures were used for the evaluation of effective diffusivities. It was shown that surface diffusion contribution was quite significant. In the last phase of the work, a batch Reflux-Recycle-Reactor (RRR) was proposed, modeled and constructed to achieve high yields and selectivities in equilibrium limited reactions. The batch reflux recycle reactor was modeled by assuming plug flow in the reactor section, perfect mixing in the reboiler and vapor-liquid equilibria between the liquid in the reboiler and reactor inlet stream. In this system conversion values of isoamylenes reaching to 0.91 were achieved at 82°
C with almost 100% selectivity. Such conversion values were shown to be much higher than the corresponding equilibrium values that could be obtained in vapor phase fixed bed reactors. The activation energies evaluated in this system were found to be much less than the activation energies evaluated in the fixed bed reactor studies. This was concluded to be majorly due to the significance of transport resistant in the batch Reflux-Recycle-Reactor in which catalyst particles are partially wet. As a result of catalyst development, characterization, kinetic and reactor development studies carried out in this study, it was concluded that tert-amyl-ethyl-ether (TAEE) could be effectively produced and used as a gasoline blending oxygenate.

Rhema, Amal. "An analysis of experiences and perceptions of technology-based learning in higher education institutions in Libya : informing the advancement of e-learning." Thesis, 2013. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/26002/.
Full textAbstract:
E-learning is increasingly becoming a vital component of education worldwide, and educators acknowledge the importance and potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in facilitating the educational processes. Developing countries, including Libya, are lagging behind the expansion of e-learning, mainly because they lack the necessary infrastructure and resources to support it. While the adoption of e-learning in higher education has been well researched internationally, research relating to the Libyan higher education is very limited, and studies exploring the experiences and perceptions of students and instructors involved in e-learning are particularly scarce. This study investigated how ICTs and e-learning were experienced and perceived at two higher education institutions in Libya: University of Tripoli in Libya's capital, and a regional University of Al-Jabal Al-Gharbi.

Asiri, Ahmad Abdullah. "The Impact of Instructor Immediacy on College Student Communication and Learning Outcomes in Saudi Arabia." Thesis, 2013. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/25794/.
Full textAbstract:
This quasi-experimental study sought to investigate the effects of instructor verbal and nonverbal immediacy behaviours on students‘ communication (i.e., class participation) and learning outcomes (i.e., state motivation, communication satisfaction, affective learning, and cognitive learning). The study sampled 115 undergraduate students at King Khalid University in Saudi Arabia. The participants were distributed into three groups: two control groups and one treatment group. The current study combined a quantitative method using a survey with a qualitative method using a semi-structured interview design. In this study, students participants completed the same survey at two different times: pre-test and post-test. Instrument measurements were composed of seven elements: verbal immediacy, nonverbal immediacy, class participation, state motivation, communication satisfaction, affective learning, and cognitive learning. The findings of this study strengthen that generally, instructor verbal and nonverbal immediacy behaviours cause positive student communication and learning outcomes. However, nonverbal immediacy was not shown to affect cognitive learning. These findings illustrate the predominance of verbal immediacy over nonverbal immediacy.
The results are discussed and implications are given for instructors and administrators at various universities in Saudi Arabia. Instructor immediacy appears to be a significant factor in developing interpersonal relationships with students and promoting student communication and learning outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Basic mathematical competency seems to be lacking for engineering students starting their studies in this field. Students generally find the cognitive transition from secondary to tertiary mathematics challenging which in turn negatively influences their academic achievement in mathematics. The cognitive challenge is the transition from the application of mathematics to familiar questions to applying mathematical principles to varying practical application and problem solving.
Mathematics provides the foundation for the cognitive toolset required for the development of skills required for analysing engineering systems and processes. It is therefore important to assess mathematical and cognitive competency and ability at the time of admission to a tertiary institution in order to identify and address gaps. This research demonstrates that first-year engineering students need to have a specific level of mathematical competency and cognitive ability to use mathematics within the context of engineering studies.
This research attempts to connect the mathematic competency of first year engineering students to their academic results for subjects in the first year curriculum that rely heavily on mathematical competency. To satisfy the research question, the study firstly looks at relevant literature to identify the mathematical competency levels as well as the operational specification.
Secondly, development theories and taxonomies were analysed to gain insight into the development processes associated with learning, cognitive development and the gap between cognitive competencies in transition from secondary to tertiary education. Further, cognitive competencies were identified that are essential for successful completion of first year engineering modules. Through synthesis of the different theories and taxonomies a framework was identified. This framework was used to analyse secondary data in order to measure mathematical and cognitive levels.
Thirdly, the theoretical investigation was followed by a three-phase empirical study. A mixed quantative-qualitative (QUAN-qual) approached was followed. Phase 1 uses the assessment framework to measure first year students‟ mathematical competency at the inception of their studies as well as at the completion of their first semester. The mathematical competency at inception was measured with their Grade 12 mathematics marks and with relevant analysis of their initial bridging assessments, on a question by question basis. In addition, their first semester exams questions were analysed using the same approach as above. Phase 2 comprises the measurement of the relationship between the mathematical competency of first year enigineering students at admission and their achievement levels in selected first year subjects that required mathematical competency. Phase 3 includes the guidelines derived from the gaps and shortcomings identified. These gaps were identified in order to inform appropriate study support to first year students and to assists academic personnel with setting appropriate and dependable admission standards.
The analysis of mathematical competency creates quality data that gives a clearer picture than a simple comparison of admission scores and first semester marks. The empirical study contributes to a better understanding of the problems associated with the transition from secondary to tertiary learning environments. From the study it was derived that study inception information of the students correlated only with their academic results on questions that tested mathematical and programming application. The inception information was not a predictor of mathematical achievement and results for both the lowest and highest mathematical competency levels. Futher study in this field is required to create frameworks for the measurements of both low and high levels of mathematical competency.MEd (Mathematics Education), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

AbstractDue to the fast-paced nature of the software industry and the success of small agile projects, researchers and practitioners are interested in scaling agile processes to larger projects. Agile software development (ASD) has been growing in popularity for over two decades. With the success of small-scale agile transformation, organizations started to focus on scaling agile. There is a scarcity of literature in this field making it harder to find plausible evidence to identify the science behind large scale agile transformation. The objective of this paper is to present a better understanding of the current state of research in the field of scaled agile transformation and explore research gaps. This tertiary study identifies seven relevant peer reviewed studies and reports research findings and future research avenues.

AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of possible strategies for implementing aquaponics in curricula at different levels of education, illustrated by case studies from different countries. Aquaponics can promote scientific literacy and provide a useful tool for teaching the natural sciences at all levels, from primary through to tertiary education. An aquaponics classroom model system can provide multiple ways of enriching classes in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), and the day-to-day maintenance of an aquaponics can also enable experiential learning. Aquaponics can thus become an enjoyable and effective way for learners to study STEM content, and can also be used for teaching subjects such as business and economics, and for addressing issues like sustainable development, environmental science, agriculture, food systems, and health. Using learner and teacher evaluations of the use of aquaponics at different educational levels, we attempt to answer the question of whether aquaponics fulfils its promise as an educational tool.

The potential benefits of e-commerce have been reported widely in the literature, and e-learning has been gradually accepted as a social tool for e-commerce at tertiary institutions (Parker, 2003). In this chapter the impact of e-commerce on the local community during a Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak in Hong Kong will be briefly described, with an emphasis on the use of E-learning technology as a contingency measure in tertiary institutions. At the height of the SARS epidemic in April 2003, Hong Kong had 60 to 80 new cases of the disease each day. Hundreds of thousands of residents wore surgical masks in an attempt to avoid catching the virus. All schools and universities were ordered closed and governments invoked quarantine laws not used for decades to isolate those who might be carriers. Explained Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa in announcing tougher measures to curb the spread of the disease: “Hong Kong is currently facing its most serious contagious disease threat in 50 years.” As a contingency measure e-learning technology was employed in the local higher education. This chapter aims to identify some of the practical difficulties involved in an evaluation of the academic performance of two groups of engineering students taking an introductory course - one group studied via e-learning and the other studied through the traditional classroom approach. Preliminary findings showed that with limited time available for the course design and delivery, the examination result of the e-learning class was slightly better than the traditional class. With positive student feedback on the e-learning approach, this would imply that e-learning shows a potential for substituting some of the traditional course elements, especially for topics relating to higher-order thinking skills. To generalize these findings more studies with properly controlled experimental design would need to be carried out. Directions for future work are also suggested.

Full textAbstract:
Biologic therapy for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has evolved considerably over the past 20 years. Biosimilar development continues to accelerate at a frenetic pace worldwide. Initial regulatory efforts were developed within the EU and subsequent guidelines have now evolved in over 20 countries. Biosimilars by definition are highly similar, with ‘comparable quality, safety, and efficacy’ (EMA) and ‘no clinically meaningful differences in safety, purity, and potency’ (FDA) to the reference product. Development and manufacturing are based on reverse engineering of the reference product as only the primary amino acid sequence is known. Testing of primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure, binding pharmacokinetics, and stability is required. Characterization of post-translational modifications and biologic function, pharmacokinetics, evaluation of immunogenicity, and at least one comparative efficacy clinical trial are major requirements for regulatory approval. Clinical trials to assess biosimilarity are required in only one clinical indication and may be extrapolated to other indications for which the reference product is approved. Both single and multiple switching trials (between biosimilar and reference product) have yielded consistent results across numerous patient populations and diseases, with no evidence of detrimental outcomes. Two prospective large observational series (Danbio and Nor-Switch) have similarly assessed non-medical switching. Several open-label switching studies have revealed equivalent efficacy, safety, and discontinuation rates but real-world studies have raised concerns about potential nocebo responses.

Full textAbstract:
Calcined coke is a competitive material for making carbon anodes for smelting of alumina to aluminum. Calcining is an energy intensive industry and a significant amount of heat is exhausted in the calcining process. Efficiently managing this energy resource is tied to the profit margin and survivability of a calcining plant. To help improve the energy efficiency and reduce natural gas consumption of the calcining process, a 3-D computational model is developed to gain insight of the thermal-flow and combustion behavior in the calciner. Comprehensive models are employed to simulate the moving petcoke bed with a uniform distribution of moisture evaporation, devolatilization, and coke fines entrainment rate with a conjugate radiation-convection-conduction calculation. The following parametric studies are conducted: rotation angles, tertiary air injection angles, devolatilization zone length, discharge end gas extractions without injecting natural gas, variations of coke bed properties (thermal conductivity and heat capacity), and coke bed sliding speed. A total of 19 cases have been simulated. The results of studying the effect of tertiary air injection angles show that employing 15° tertiary air injection angle provides the best calcining condition than using 30° and 45° injection angles by achieving a higher coke bed temperature and less coke fines entrainment and attrition rate. In an attempt to reduce natural gas consumption, employing gas extraction at the discharge end successfully draws the hot combustion gas from the tertiary air zone towards the discharge end without burning natural gas. The coke bed temperature between 6 and 21 m from the discharge end is successfully raised from 10 to 100 K, but discharge end temperature is reduced 150 K without burning natural gas. The extracted gas at 1,000 K is too low to be returned to the kiln, but it could be used to preheat the tertiary air.

[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the 2019 issue of the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology, Volume 16] Aim/Purpose: The study describes empirical research into agile Requirements Engineering (RE) practices based on an analysis of data collected in a large higher education organization. Background: Requirements Engineering (RE) in agile development contexts is considerably different than in traditional software development. The field of agile RE is still nascent where there is a need to evaluate its impact in real-world settings. Methodology: Using a case study methodology, the study involved interviewing nine experienced software practitioners who reflected on the use and implementation of various agile RE practices in two software development projects of a student management system. Contribution: The primary contribution of the paper is the evaluation of agile RE practices in a large tertiary educational organization. Based on the analysis of the data, it provides valuable insights into the practice of agile RE in a specific context (i.e., education), but just as importantly, the ones that were omitted or replaced with others and why. Findings: While the evolutionary and iterative approach to defining requirements was followed in general, not all agile practices could be fully adhered to in the case organization. Although face-to-face communication with the customers has been recognized as one the most important agile RE practices, it was one of the most difficult practices to achieve with a large and diverse customer base. Addressing people issues (e.g., resistance to change, thinking, and mindset) was found to be a key driver to following the iterative RE process effectively. Contrary to the value-based approach advocated in the literature, the value-based approach was not strictly adhered to in requirements prioritization. Continuous integration was perceived to be a more beneficial practice than prototyping, as it allows frequent integration of code and facilitates delivering working software when necessary. Recommendations for Practitioners: Our study has important implications for practitioners. Based on our empirical analysis, we provide specific recommendations for effective implementation of agile RE practices. For example, our findings suggest that practitioners could address the challenges associated with limited face-to-face communication challenges by producing flexible, accessible, and electronic documentation to enable communication. Recommendations for Researchers: Researchers can use the identified agile RE practices and their variants to per-form in-depth investigations into agile requirements engineering in other educational contexts. Impact on Society: There are a number of new technologies that offer exciting new opportunities that can be explored to maximize the benefits of agile and other requirements techniques. Future Research: Future research could conduct case studies in different contexts and thus con-tribute to developing bundles or collections of practices to improve software development processes in specific contexts.

Context: In the last years, the Grey Literature (GL) had a notable increase in interest in diverse areas of knowledge. In Software Engineering (SE), with the advance of social media, the SE practitioners are heavy consumers of GL, opposite to traditional research papers, such as the Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Problem: Despite the increase of numbers of SLRs, some researchers claim the lack of connection to the practice of SE, due to the lack of evidence derived from SE practitioners. Goal: Introduce methods and techniques to support a Grey Literature Review (GLR) in SE, aiming to approximate the literature review to the practice of SE. Method: First, we will investigate how secondary studies use GL; Second, we will employ a survey with researchers of SLRs and SE practitioners; Third, we will analyze the use of GL according to the context; Fourth, we will review the GL source in SE; Finally, we will propose a guideline to help SE researchers and practitioners to conduct the GLR. Preliminary findings: We have initiated the tertiary study conducting the manual (4,875 studies) and automatic (6,279 studies) searches. We eliminated those that were not an article, and also those were not written in English, remaining 8,019 potential studies. Currently, we are applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Organized by KU Leuven and Ghent University, two leading Belgian universities, the Master of Space Studies is an interdisciplinary post-master program that aims to equip students with the skills they need to initiate a career in the space sector. Beyond the deepening of their initial expertise, the program exposes the participating students to a broad range of topics, from human science (space law and policy, international organizations, project management, ...), to technical science (space missions, spacecraft and payload engineering, satellite telecommunications, ...), and exact sciences (Earth and Space observations, medical sciences, human explorations, ...) with the aim to provide the students with a broad overview of the interdisciplinary expertise required by many space projects. Initiated in the late 2000s, the program has served as a gateway into the space sector for over 100 students since its creation. After a brief introduction to the program, we present a programmatic analysis, based on quantitative and qualitative surveys of students and alumni. We present the demographic, career tracks and current professional situations of students in the last 10 years, allowing us to identify trends that affects tertiary education to space sector. We conclude by briefly highlighting other ongoing space education activities, from the Belgian antenna of ESERO to the involvement of students in CubeSpec, a 6U CubeSat platform selected as ESA in-flight demonstrator to enable low-cost versatile spectroscopy of astronomical targets

South Africa is currently facing an education dilemma with high numbers of youth unemployment and a growing specialized skills shortage in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). STEM problem based learning events, hosted by government and the corporate sector, has shown to improve science and technology literacy and to encourage the youth to pursue tertiary education in the field of science. Unfortunately, schools face a range of challenges which restricts them from participating in these learning methods, depriving learners of the advantages offered by problem based learning. This paper presents a model for the sustainable provision of STEM problem based learning opportunities in South African schools. The presented model is based on a two-team mentoring model which makes problem based learning sustainable in a South African school environments. The Shell Eco Marathon is in its third year, and the students that have passed through the program will now be progressing to university. The impact of this program, therefore, will be become evident by the success of the students’ studies in the near future.

Gas vesicles are low-density, gas-filled protein organelles found inside various microorganisms. They have a lipid-free membrane with an average thickness of 2 nm and provide their hosts with buoyancy. In this study we characterized gas vesicle proteins synthesized by the Halobacterium sp. NRC-1 strain making use of molecular modeling methods and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The tertiary structure of GvpA protein, the major constituent of the gas vesicle membrane, was predicted using the De Novo computational design method available in the Rosetta Suite 2.3.1 software and was found to be in agreement with experimental data available from previous studies conducted by others and the consensus of different secondary structure prediction web servers. Optimization of the predicted structure was first carried out by energy minimization and simulated annealing. Subsequently, the mechanical properties of GvpA were investigated via constant pressure and temperature (NPT) aqueous MD simulations, in which two approaches were used to study the isothermal compressibility: quantification of the fluctuations in protein volume at constant pressure and temperature, and quantification of the volume changes induced through changes in the simulation pressure. Long term we plan to incorporate this information into multi-scale models of whole gas vesicles.

Full textAbstract:
Hospitals are complex building systems and they uses a large amount of energy in many different ways. Generally energy efficiency is not one of the main priorities in such structures, where the management mainly focuses on the continuity and the reliability of the energy supply. As a consequence this sector shows a high potential for energy savings. Furthermore the energy efficiency measures enforce the energy systems reliability. The first step in implementation of energy efficiency objectives and measures is the audit phase where the initial energy performance is assessed. Generally a complete audit needs the collection of many parameters and data (indicators) and that makes this procedure very long and expensive. Sometimes it is impossible to completely estimate the energy performance because of a lack of information. This paper proposes an algorithm able to operate a substantial reduction of all the indicators to be collected for the evaluation of the performance of energy end users. The model makes possible to estimate all the energy performance indicators (dependent) as a function of a small number of indicators (independent) whose estimation is simpler. It has been applied to the hospitals sector, but can be applied also to domestic energy sector and to a large number of the tertiary and commercial end users. The model operates the implementation of the mutual relationships among all the indicators involved in the energy performance evaluation. The indicator values are defined by applying mainly a statistical analysis of an adequate number of energy efficiency case studies. Furthermore design standards are applied in order to improve the indicators definitions. The model has been tested and validated in some case studies discussed.

Abstract This study conducts a literature survey on the chemical steam additives tested in both lab and field settings from 1982 to present (2020). We summarize the major recovery mechanisms of both steam-based recovery process and steam-chemical-based recovery process. Next, we review the previous lab-scale/field-scale studies examining the applications of surfactants, alkali, and novel chemicals in the steam-based oil recovery process. Among the different surfactants studied, alpha-olefin sulfonate (AOS) and linear toluene sulfonate (LTS) are the recommended chemicals for their foam control/detergency effect. In particular, AOS was observed to perform especially well in residual oil saturation (ROS) reduction and sweep efficiency improvement when being co-injected with alkali. Application of organic alkali (alone or with a co-surfactant) has also drawn wide attention recently, but its efficacy in the field requires further investigation and the consumption of alkali by sands/clay is often an inevitable issue and, therefore, how to control the alkali loss requires further investigation. Novel chemical additives tested in the past five years include fatty acids (such as tail oil acid, TOA-Na+), Biodiesel (o/w emulsion), along with other types of chemical additives including switchable hydrophilicity tertiary amines (SHTA), chelating agents, Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES), graphite and SiO2 particles, ionic liquids and urea. High thermal stability of some of the novel chemicals and their potential in increasing displacement efficiency and ROS reduction efficiency in the lab studies require further investigation for their optimized application in the field settings to minimize the use of steam while improving the recovery effectively. This review reveals that when being properly applied, chemical additives can improve oil recovery via steam foam control, detergency effect (IFT reduction and wettability control), and viscosity reduction. In certain cases, microemulsion generation could be observed (o/w or w/o) with the addition of chemical additives at steam condition (which leads to recovery improvement), but the microemulsion effect on the conformance control (separate from the foamy effect), is lacking detailed investigation.
