the ability of artificial neural network (ann) for estimating the natural gas demand load for the next day and month of the populated cities has shown to be a real  concern. as the most applicable network, the ann with multi-layer back propagation perceptrons is used to approximate functions. throughout the current work, the daily effective temperature is determined, and then the weather data w...

A CGS is of the most important parts in natural gas transmission pipelines in which the high inlet natural gas (NG) pressure is reduced to much lower value by employing a throttling valve. This pressure drop causes hydrate forming, preventing stable NG flow through the pipeline. To prevent hydrate forming, NG is usually preheated by heaters which burns remarkable amount of NG. In this work, a n...

To promote sustainability consumers must be informed about their consumption behaviours. Ambient displays can be used as an ecofeedback technology to convey household consumption information. Elements of Consumption (EoC) demonstrates this by visualizing electricity, water, and natural gas consumption. EoC delivers three key components: (1) an abstract art piece, (2) a visual way to display dat...

INTRODUCTION High concentrations of CO2 in natural gas affect its calorific value and corrode the equipment and pipelines related to its transportation and usage. Therefore, strict control over the H2S and CO2 contents in natural gas is essential. CO2 is an important industrial gas that can bring a great deal of economic profit when it is fully utilized. CASE DESCRIPTION The natural gas produ...
