Abstract:  In this study, the change in the crystalline structure of gas hydrate was predicted for ternary mixture of methane-ethane-water. For this purpose, the tangent plane distance (TPD) minimization method was used. First, the calculations were performed for the binary mixtures of methane-water and ethane-water as the gas and liquid phases. The results show that for a binary mixture of th...

Fluorine-containing polymers have a number of valuable physical and chemical properties, such as high chemical and heat resistance, high mechanical strength and highly selective gas separation characteristics. One of the ways to produce fluoropolymer membranes is through surface fluorination. The modifcation of commercial polymers with membrane properties, poly(4-methyl-1...

The mechanism of the low temperature oxidation of gaseous acetaldehyde was investigated in the temperature range of 1 50-400?°C. The minor, intermediate and major products were identified and measured quantitatively by sampling directly into the ionization chamber of an MS10-C2 mass spectrometer from the reactor. The formation of H2O, CO, CO2, HCOOH, H2, HCHO, CH3COOH and CH3OH as the major pro...

a fiber coating from polyaniline (pani) was electrochemically prepared and employed for solid phase micreoextraction (spme). the pani film was directly electrodeposited on the platinum wire surface using cyclic voltametry (cv) technique. the same method was applied for the preparation of spme fiber coated by polyaniline multiwalled carbon nanotubes (pani/mwcnts) composite. the concentration of ...

precise identification of the risks of power plants as a part of a comprehensive safety analysis is recommended by monitoring organizations. assessment and risk management techniques in industrial activities through the use of preventive approach to identify hazards , assess and control safety - health risks unit is studied. in this study, risks and effects of abadan gas power plant were studie...

kinetics of single cell protein production from natural gas by a microorganism (a methylomonas sp.) was studied experimentally and by modeling at equal amount of air and natural gas. kinetic models of monod, moser, teissier, aiba, andrews, and noack were used for illustrating cell growth. methane and oxygen were considered as limited substrates with concentration in the range 2-10 mg/lit. death...

in this paper, a non-isothermal two-phase flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer (gdl) of pem fuel cell is modeled. the governing equations including energy, mass and momentum conservation equations are solved by numerical methods. also, the optimal values of the effective parameters such as the electrodes porosity, gas diffusion layer (gdl) thickness and inlet relative humidity are calculated...

a method based on electrical capacitance tomography (ect) and an improved least squares support vector machine (ls-svm) is proposed for void fraction measurement of oil-gas two-phase flow. in the modeling stage, to solve the two problems in ls-svm, pruning skills are employed to make ls-svm sparse and robust; then the real-coded genetic algorithm is introduced to solve the difficult problem of ...

the objective of this research is to develop an accurate numerical method to be used in showing the deformation of a liquid fuel droplet in a convective field. to simultaneously solve the internal liquid droplet flow field as well as the external gas phase flow field, a nonstaggered rectangular grid system without any coordinate transformation is used. transition from the gas field to the liqui...
