Effects of a new drag reduction agent on natural gas pipeline transportation

Optimization of natural gas pipeline transportation using ant colony optimization

In this paper, an Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm (ACO) is proposed for operations of steady flow gas pipeline. The system is composed of compressing stations linked by pipe legs. The decisions variables are chosen to be the operating turbo compressor number and the discharge pressure for each compressing station. The objective function is the power consumed in the system by these stations. U...

the effect of consciousness raising (c-r) on the reduction of translational errors: a case study

در دوره های آموزش ترجمه استادان بیشتر سعی دارند دانشجویان را با انواع متون آشنا سازند، درحالی که کمتر به خطاهای مکرر آنان در متن ترجمه شده می پردازند. اهمیت تحقیق حاضر مبنی بر ارتکاب مکرر خطاهای ترجمانی حتی بعد از گذراندن دوره های تخصصی ترجمه از سوی دانشجویان است. هدف از آن تاکید بر خطاهای رایج میان دانشجویان مترجمی و کاهش این خطاها با افزایش آگاهی و هوشیاری دانشجویان از بروز آنها است.از آنجا ک...

On the Pricing of Natural Gas Pipeline Capacity

Pipelines play a critical role in matching the supply and demand of natural gas. The pricing of their capacity is an important problem in practice, both for pipeline companies and shippers, the users of this capacity, including natural gas merchants, producers, and local distribution companies. This paper conducts a normative analysis of how pipeline capacity should be priced by each of these p...
