چکیده

A modified polarographic method with inert gas for determination of the oxygen permeability in polymers immersed in liquids is described. Owing to the stream of an inert gas towards polymer from the cathode side, lateral oxygen diffusion (edge effects) is minimized. Unlike the standard Fatt method, the method with inert gas is suitable also for thick samples and, therefore, for high-permeable materials. The method was tested for prediction of oxygen permeability in poly(1-vinyl 2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA). As an electrolyte, solution of potassium chloride was used. The effect of additional resistances and small lateral diffusion was taken into account. Unexpectedly, oxygen permeability in both polymers was greater for 0.1 M KCl than for 0.5 M KCl. The experimental setup was also used for diffusivity estimation in thick samples of PHEMA and PVP. Here, the oxygen flux response at one sample surface to the stepwise change in oxygen concentration at the other surface is measured and evaluated. The effect of the additional boundary layer on the oxygen transport is taken into account. A simple procedure for the diffusivity determination from the characteristic time of response as a function of the sample thickness is given. Solubility of oxygen in polymer is calculated from the obtained permeability and diffusivity. q 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Pseudo Steady State Gas Flow in Tight Reservoir under Dual Mechanism Flow

Gas reservoirs with low permeability (k<0.1 mD) are among the unconventional reservoirs and are commonly termed as "Tight Gas Reservoirs". In conventional gas reservoirs that have high permeability, the flow of gas is basically controlled by the reservoir permeability and it is calculated using the Darcy equation. In these reservoirs, gas flow due to gas diffusion is ignored compared to Dar...

Physical Properties of Green Pea in an Inert Medium FBD Dryer Assisted by IR Heating

The drying behavior of green peas is investigated in a pilot scaled Fluidized Bed Dryer (FBD) with inert particles assisted by an Infra Red (IR) heat source. The variation of shrinkage and moisture diffusivity with temperature and moisture content were investigated. The experimental drying curves were adjusted to the diffusion model of Fick’s law for spherical particles. The result was that...

Developing a method for identification of net zones using log data and diffusivity equation

Distinguishing productive zones of a drilled oil well plays a very important role for petroleum engineers to decide where to perforate to produce oil. Conventionally, net pay zones are determined by applying a set of cut-offs on perophysical logs. As a result, the conventional method finds productive intervals crisply. In this investigation, a net index value is proposed, then; diffusivity equa...
