The compressibility factor (Z-factor) of natural gases is necessary in many gas reservoir engineering calculations. Accurate determination of this parameter is of crucial need and challenges a large number of used simulators in petroleum engineering. Although numerous studies for prediction of gas compressibility factor have been reported in the literature, the accurate prediction of this param...

The elastic properties of two and three-dimensional Cauchy solids subject to initial pressure are examined and shown to require only experimental isotherm information for application. In two and three dimensions the sound speeds, Poisson's ratio, and the Debye temperatures depend upon a dimensionless parameter given by the product of pressure and compressibility. It is shown that the pressure-c...

Influence of uniaxial small-scale anisotropy and compressibility on the stability of scaling regime and on the anomalous scaling of structure functions of a scalar field is investigated in the model of a passive scalar field advected by the compressible Gaussian strongly anisotropic velocity field with the covariance ∝ δ(t − t ′)|x − x ′ | 2ε by using the field theoretic renormalization group a...

We realized an integrated microfluidic chip that allows measuring both optical deformability and acoustic compressibility on single cells, by optical stretching and acoustophoresis experiments respectively. Additionally, we propose a measurement protocol that allows evaluating the experimental apparatus parameters before performing the cell-characterization experiments, including a non-destruct...

RIFT (Resin Infusion under Flexible Tool) process modelling requires accurate material data like resin viscosity, reinforcement compressibility and reinforcement permeability. During the mould closing, the compression phase and the resin flow are important stages that strongly influence the quality of the obtained parts. In RIFT process the upper mould is a formable vacuum bag: its flexibility ...

Stretchability and compressibility of supercapacitors is an essential element of modern electronics, such as flexible, wearable devices. Widely used polyvinyl alcohol-based electrolytes are neither very stretchable nor compressible, which fundamentally limits the realization of supercapacitors with high stretchability and compressibility. A new electrolyte that is intrinsically super-stretchabl...

We use the Percus-Yevick approach in the chemical-potential route to evaluate the equation of state of hard hyperspheres in five dimensions. The evaluation requires the derivation of an analytical expression for the contact value of the pair distribution function between particles of the bulk fluid and a solute particle with arbitrary size. The equation of state is compared with those obtained ...
