Supersonic separators have found extensive applications in dehumidification of natural gases since 2003. Unlike previous studies, which have investigated the inlet conditions and nozzle geometry of supersonic separators for pure fluids, the present study employed a combination of momentum, heat, and mass transfer equations along with Virial equation of state (EOS) to inspect the effect of inlet...

a new correlation function for the calculation of viscosity for five typical supercritical gases is presented using the rainwater-friend and modified enskog theory. it is shown that by using accurate value for the thermal pressure and co-volume in the modified enskog theory, this correlation function is suitable for calculation of the viscosity of supercritical gases, without any density and te...

This paper criticizes the model and the new definition for osmotic pressure given by Parsafar et al. [J. Sci. I. R. Iran, Vol. 10, No. 4, 233 (1999)]. The model is a closed system containing 1 kg of solvent plus m mole of solute at constant temperature and under pressure P0 + ? where P0 is the standard pressure and ? is the osmotic pressure of the corresponding m molal solution. While the total...

In this paper, an analytical solution for computing the linear plastic stresses and critical temperature and pressure in a FGM hollow cylinder under the internal pressure and temperature is developed. It has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity and thermal coefficient of expansion were varying through thickness of the FGM material according to a power law relationship. The Poisson's rati...

wax precipitate is one of the most serious issues the oil industry is currently facing, since it can cause some troubles such as increasing of the pressure losses in pipe which subsequently increases the required power for pumpage. to remove this problem, prediction of wax disappearance temperature (wdt) seems necessary. in this study, the pressure influence on the wax disappearance temperature...

One of the most important methods of transporting natural gas in Iran and other parts of the world is the utilization of a network of pipelines. Compression station and turbo compressor units play an important role in gas supply through pipelines. One of the primary concerns in these units is the reduction of fuel consumption. By cooling of exhaust gas from the source station, the pressure drop...

in the present work, a titanium-based ziegler-natta catalyst was employed to synthesize ultra molecular weight polyethylene in a slurry medium. the effect of different parameters such as ethylene pressure, temperature, catalyst composition, and hydrogen pressure was studied. as the results indicate, increasing either [al]/[ti] ratio or temperature causes polymerization rate to go through a maxi...

The optimum choice of filament material is very application dependent, and interactions of the gas with the cathode material must be carefully considered. Filaments, in both wire and ribbon shapes, are required to (1) supply a stable electron emission current with reasonable energy input and filament temperature, (2) have reduced chemical reactivity with the rarefied environment being measured,...
