Pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) properties are critical to reservoir as well as production engineers, in particular. PVT properties could be determined experimentally. But, experiments are time consuming and costly. Moreover, laboratory PVT analysis does not consider the variations of PVT properties with respect to temperature since they are measured at reservoir temperature at the time of sampling. For that matter, the data is not benefitable. But, even if experimental analysis is done, it is difficult to obtain representative results to develop a new field. To tackle the above and other related problems, relying on sound PVT emperical correlations would be the ultimate solution. In this work, the intent is to develop stochastic models for PVT properties pertaining to Omani crude oils since it is believed that such correlations are scarce and not very precise. The empirical equations are developed for saturated Omani crude oils. The correlations are tested and validated. The empirical equations evaluation and assessment are done against existent experimental data and published correlations. 相似文献
Therapeutic ultrasound angioplasty has been investigated, clinically, by a number of researchers and represents a potentially promising therapy for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions. To date, there has been no detailed analysis of the effect of mechanical design parameters, such as wire geometry or damping characteristics, on wire waveguide performance. An apparatus capable of delivering therapeutic ultrasound down small diameter nickel–titanium (NiTi) wire waveguides is described. The output peak-to-peak (p–p) displacements at the distal tip of a 1.0 mm diameter waveguide were measured experimentally, by means of an optical microscope and image analysis software. The output was measured for a range of waveguide lengths from 118 to 303 mm. Wire waveguide distal tip displacements as high as 98 μm (p–p) at 23.5 kHz were measured. For the range of lengths tested, the experimental measurements show the critical relationship between the length of the waveguide and the output distal tip displacements. A finite element model that can predict the resonant frequencies and distal tip displacements of various wire waveguide geometries and configurations, including the effect of damping, is presented. This numerical model has been validated against the experimental displacement data obtained. This will be a valuable design tool for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of therapeutic ultrasound angioplasty procedures. 相似文献
The concentration of uniformly distributed particles in a fluid changes with time in the direction of gravitational or centrifugal
force to form a concentration gradient. The change in the concentration is an outcome of velocity variation of particles in
a fluid. A modified equation for terminal velocity, vm of particles in polymerizing-fluid under centrifugal force is proposed to estimate the changes in the volume fraction of
particles in the graded composites. The proposed equation introduces the effect of cure kinetics of polymer and its effect
on particle movement in the model that was based on the modified Stoke’s law, considering the parameters related to particle
hindrance, centrifugal force, particle dimensions, viscosity variation etc. The model predictions of concentration changes
at the different locations of samples were compared with calcium carbonate filled polysulphide-modified-epoxy graded composites
prepared by centrifugal casting.. The effect of particle size, delayed curing rate of matrix were explored. The simulated
results are in good agreement with those of experiments. 相似文献
Boron nitride thin films have been deposited by plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition (PACVD) from non-toxic material and have been shown to have a high content of the cubic phase under certain conditions of substrate temperature and r.f. power, as measured by infrared absorption and refractive index. The electronic properties of these films have been measured and exhibited high resistivity and breakdown field strength. Al/BN/n-Si MIS diodes have been constructed and these show that the BN insulator contains negative charges. The interface state density is relatively low, however, and there is no Fermi level pinning within the bandgap 相似文献
Microstreaming generated from oscillating microbubbles has great potential in microfluidic applications for localized flow control. In this study, we explore the use of teardrop-shaped cavities for trapping microbubbles. Upon acoustic actuation, these microbubbles confined in teardrop cavities can be utilized to generate a directional microstreaming flow. We further show that by altering the acoustic excitation frequency, a flow-switch for altering flow direction in microfluidic environments can be achieved using two oppositely arranged teardrop cavities with different sizes. In the end, we show that an array of such bubble-filled teardrop cavities can act as a fixated microfluidic transport system allowing for on-chip particle manipulation in complex flow patterns. This inexpensive method to create flows to switch and transport elements based on teardrop cavities can be widely employed for microfluidic applications such as drug delivery systems. 相似文献
This study has been carried out to forecast the impact of global warming on the precipitation pattern of Saudi Arabia by the end of year 2100. Simulation has been done using EdGCM model software (with available 8×10 resolution) developed at Columbia University on which there have been produced global precipitation maps for the seasonal and annual averages for the last 5 years (2096–2100). For each map, EdGCM grid values surrounding Saudi Arabia are used as input to one of the tools of Eagle point software called surface modelling (SM). SM is a new approach for downscaling global climate model results. SM software modelled out isohyets at 0.2 mm/day interval. The results indicate that the present pattern of precipitation (more in winter and less in summer) is going to change by almost equal occurrence of precipitation in all seasons for double_CO2 (2CO2) experiment. The 2CO2 experiment indicates an increase of about 16.05% over the annual average precipitation across the country. 相似文献
In a modular template synthesis, unsaturated NHC complexes of gold, palladium and platinum were synthesized from simple metal salts, isonitriles and amines with acetal or ketal groups. Upon the addition of amines with tethered acetal or ketal moieties to the metal‐activated isonitrile, first nitrogen acyclic carbene (NAC) complexes are formed. These undergo ring closure and elimination to the unsaturated NHC complexes upon addition of acid. This simple strategy opens an attractive and fast approach to NHC complexes of gold, palladium and platinum. The modular approach allows a fast modification and is well‐suited for the synthesis of unsymetrically and symmetrically substituted unsaturated NHC complexes.
