MODELING WAX IN PHYSIOLOGY AND ZOOLOGY

Compositional Modeling of Wax Formation in Petroleum Mixtures

Heavy organics deposition is a common problem in oil industry, especially in oil production, transportation and processing. Wax or solid paraffin series are examples of heavy organics that deposit. Precipitation and crystallization of wax causes major difficulties in different processes. Based on multi-solid theory, a basic model is modified in this paper for wax precipitation in different oils...

Muscle Physiology and Modeling

Because they are so important for survival, muscles have evolved many complex features that enhance their strength, speed, efficiency and controllability. The model presented here consists of quantitative functions that represent each of the anatomical structures and physiological processes that underlie such features in typical mammalian skeletal muscles. These include the processes of recruit...

Effect of Hydrocarbon Fluid Characterization on Wax Precipitation Modeling

Medical Zoology

were sleeping; in these mosquitos were observed various stages of the development of the parasite. From such a study, considering the quantity of material used, we might expect, as indeed turned out to be the case, noteworthy results. Contemporaneously, mosquitos were studied, which were caught in stables and poultry yards, which, deriving their nourishment from the blood of birds and domestic ...

Modeling High-Pressure Wax Formation in Petroleum Fluids

A procedure is presented for the simultaneous prediction of fluid–fluid and solid–fluid equilibrium of light gases/heavy hydrocarbons systems under pressure. The objective of this work is to simplify the predictive approach previously proposed by the authors, making it more useful and accessible to users at the petroleum industry. The main modification with respect to the complex LCVM (linear c...
