A New EPMA Method For Fast Trace Element Analysis In Simple Matrices

A New EPMA Method For Fast Trace Element Analysis In Simple Matrices

Traditionally Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA) has relied upon precise characterization of the continuum intensities adjacent to the emission line of interest using Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometry (WDS) for determination of the background under the peak. Recent improvements including new hardware designs with large area Bragg crystals, new software methods implementing exponential and po...

A fast and simple method for modeling of oil swelling in Co2 injection

In this paper, the role of molecular diffusion in mobilization of waterflood residual oil is examined. A moving mesh method is applied to solve the moving interface problem of residual oil blobs swelling by Co2 diffusion through a blocking water phase. The results of this modeling are compared with experimental results of a 2D glass micromodel experiment. Although, the solution method is applie...

A New Stress Based Approach for Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis

This article demonstrates a new approach for nonlinear finite element analysis. The methodology is very suitable and gives very accurate results in linear as well as in nonlinear range of the material behavior. Proposed methodology can be regarded as stress based finite element analysis as it is required to define the stress distribution within the structural body with structural idealization a...
