TL;DR: The gross enthalpies for these reactions as measured from the areas under the DSC thermograms, are presented for the various samples in this paper, as well as a detailed analysis of the thermogram for each sample.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal decomposition of Green River oil shale kerogen was analyzed in terms of topochemical models conventionally employed for solid-state reactions, and it was shown that the reaction became strongly diffusion-controlled at temperatures above 450°C, where the reactant/product interface and effects arising from diffusion of product gases from the oil shale matrix played a key role.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal diffusivity of Green River oil shale has been measured by the laser-flash technique and the results show that the diffusivities decrease with increasing temperature, especially for low organic content.

TL;DR: The electrical behavior of oil sand samples from the Athabasca, N. W. Asphalt Ridge, P. R. Spring and Circle Cliffs deposits was studied in the frequency range 50 Hz - 103 MHz at ambient temperatu...

TL;DR: In this paper, an automated technique for concurrent application of differential thermal analysis (DTA) and dynamic dielectric analyses (DDA) is described, and the complementary nature of information obtained from Mode A and Mode B and the concurrent application is illustrated for the crystal structure transformation in potassium perchlorate.
