Well stimulation is the process of well intervention performed on oil and gas well. The main purpose of well stimulation is to increase the productivity of oil and gas industry by improving the flow of hydrocarbons (organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon such as alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes and alkyne-based compounds) from drainage area to the well bored for the extraction of oil and gases. As the oil well become old, their productivity decreases in such case well stimulation materials are useful in improving the productivity of the oil, helping in the overall reduction of crude oil price in the global market.

Steam generator is a device which is used to create steam by boiling water. Steam generators are also referred as heat exchangers used to convert water particles into steam from heat produced in a nuclear reactor plant. Nuclear steam generator is used in high pressure water reactor having primary loop (piping system that contains coolant) and secondary loops (have separate piping system, here water is converted to steam to rotate turbines which generate electricity) attached to the water reactor. The primary loop is usually at very high temperature and pressure. Nuclear steam generator is a device which is used to transfer heat between the two loops from primary loop to the secondary loop attached to the generator. Nuclear steam generator which is attached between the primary and secondary loop generate electricity from the nuclear plant. Water flowing between the primary and secondary loops never mixes with each other. Materials which are used to manufacture turbine and piping system of a nuclear steam generator have special features to withstand heat and radiation of the reactor. Normal nuclear plant steam generator take the dimension up to 70 feet (approximately 21 meter) in length and around 800 tons in weight.

Thermoformed plastic products can be produced by heating a plastic sheet to a pliable forming temperature, shaping it as desirable, and trimming it to create a usable end product. Plastics can be thermoformed through various processes which include vacuum snapback, plug assist forming, and thick and thin gauge thermoforming. Different raw materials used for manufacturing thermoformed plastic products include acrylics, bio-degradable polymers, polycarbonates, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), and poly vinyl chloride (PVC).
