compressibility factor and viscosity of natural gasses are of great importance in petroleum and chemical engineering. to calculate the natural gas properties in the pipelines, storage systems and reservoirs, the exact values of gas compressibility factor and viscosity are required. a new method that allows accurate determination of compressibility factor and gas viscosity for all types of: swee...

A gas inside the microsystems or the porous media is in its non-equilibrium state, due to the fact that the molecular mean free path is comparable to the characteristic dimension of the media. The same state of a gas, called rarefied, is found at high altitude or in the vacuum equipment working at low pressure. All these types of flow can be described by the kinetic models derived from the Bolt...

Gas drilling technology is an effective method to protect low permeability tight sandstone reservoirs from damage. However, using this drill high-pressure fractured reservoirs, the fluid flow characteristics are extremely complex, leading safety challenges. Therefore, based on conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy, a new transient coupled model in matrix-fracture established for ...

This paper analyzes natural circulation flow in solid breeder blanket designs with poloidal coolant channels under a LOFA condition. Analyses couple the flow transient behaviors with transient heat transport models. While two-phase natural circulation exists in the system, a homogenous mixture model is used. The results of example calculations performed for an ITER solid breeder design concept ...

in this study, mass transfer coefficients (mtc’s) of natural gas components during hydrate formation are reported. this work is based on the assumption that the transport of gas molecules from gas phase to aqueous phase is dominant among other resistances. several experiments were conducted on a mixture of natural gas at different pressures and temperatures and the consumed gas was monitored an...

In this paper we have studied the effect of free convection on the heat transfer and flow through variable porous medium which is bounded by two vertical parallel porous plates. In this study it is assume that free stream velocity oscillates with time about a constant mean. Periodic temperature is considered in the moving plate. Effect of different parameters on mean flow velocity, Transient ve...

in this paper, an adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (anfis) is used for forecasting of natural gas consumption. it is clear that natural gas consumption prediction for future, surly can help statesmen to decide more certain. there are many variables which effect on gas consumption but two variables that named gross domestic product (gdp) and population, are selected as two input var...
