Our objective was to assess the effects of lactate enhancement in combination with different packaging systems (vacuum; high-oxygen, 80% O2 + 20% CO2; or 0.4% CO, 30% CO2 + 69.4% N2) on beef Longissimus lumborum and Psoas major steak redness. Subprimals (n = 16) were divided in half and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 injection treatments (non-injected control, water-injected control, 1.25% lactate...

Machine learning algorithms are extensively used to reduce the complexity of applied problems in various fields, including energy. Accurate prediction performance water alternating gas (WAG) injection as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process is great importance optimal management hydrocarbon resources. In current work, a hybrid mathematical model proposed for near-immiscible WAG process. We us...

It is necessary to improve oil production from reservoirs. Various methods have been proposed increase extraction reservoir. Each method has specific challenges. In this research, the effect of water and gas injection in Azadegan reservoir analyzed. field located south Iran. study, water, immiscible alternating injected its on enhanced recovery investigated. Finally, a comparison between result...

Carbonated water has proven advantages over conventional CO2 injection in terms of arresting free mobility, low-pressure injection, lower volume requirement, and higher efficiency. The term “engineered water” is designated to selective ion-spiked with the advantage ion-exchange reactions rock minerals releasing trapped oil. This article investigated synergic effect dissolved engineered for oil ...

Black lipid bilayers, a general model system for biomembranes were studied for diffusion rates of small molecules such as water or CO2 using advanced analysis techniques and cell free synthesized proteins. We provide evidence that by simple insertion of proteins or sterols the diffusion rates of water or those of CO2 decrease. Insertion of cell free synthesized water permeable aquaporins restor...

We use an order-parameter formulation, in conjunction with non-Boltzmann sampling to study the nucleation of clathrate hydrates from water–CO2 mixtures, using computer simulations. A set of order parameters are defined: F i gg ~i51,2,...,n and gg for guest–guest!, which characterize the spatial and orientational order of the CO2 molecules, and F i hh ~hh for host–host!, which govern the orderin...

Numerous studies, including those of desert plants, have shown reduced stomatal conductance under elevated atmospheric CO2. As a consequence, soil water has been postulated to increase. Soil water was measured for .4 yr at the Nevada Desert Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) Facility to determine if elevated atmospheric CO2 conserves soil water for a desert scrub community in the Mojave Desert. We ...

Uncertainties of CO2 injection-sequestration in a CBM is driven by the complex process of gas desorptioncontrolled mechanism attributed to the natural characteristics of CBM and to the impact of the wells engaged in the reservoir. This work presents the reservoir characterization and simulation process focused on natural gas production and subsequent CO2 injection into an unmineable coal seam i...

Understanding mechanisms of oil mobilization of tight matrix during CO2 injection is crucial for CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and sequestration engineering design. In this study exposure behavior between CO2 and tight rock of the Ordos Basin has been studied experimentally by using nuclear magnetic resonance transverse relaxation time (NMR T2) spectrum and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) un...
