The Effect of Operating Temperatures on Wax Deposition
TL;DR: In this paper, a deposition model called the Michigan Wax Predictor (MWP) was used to establish criteria as to whether the rate of wax deposition increases or decreases as the oil/coolant temperature is changed in a series of flow-loop experiments.

Counterintuitive effects of the oil flow rate on wax deposition
TL;DR: In this paper, the Michigan Wax Predictor (MWP) was applied to elucidate this trend by analyzing the growth rate of the wax deposit in a series of flowloop experiments from first principles.

Wax deposition mechanisms: Is the current description sufficient?
TL;DR: In this article, an in-house pilot-scale flow loop was utilized to examine the deposition behavior of a waxy condensate with the bulk temperatures equal or lower than the coolant temperatures, under which conditions wax deposition is not supposed to occur.

Fatty Acids for Nutraceuticals and Biofuels from Hydrothermal Carbonization of Microalgae
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used hydrothermal carbonization of wet algal biomass to facilitate extraction of algal lipids that have value for both liquid biofuels and dietary supplements (i.e., nutraceuticals).

Effect of Temperature on Wettability of Oil/Brine/Rock Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of temperature on the wettability of oil/brine/rock systems was investigated and it was shown that increasing the temperature from 25 to 50 °C has no discernible effect on the contact angle, regardless of substrate type, brine type, or salt concentration.
