Herb-drug interaction strongly limits the clinical utilization of herbs and synthetic drugs. The inhibition of drug metabolism has been widely accepted to be an important reason for herb-drug interaction. The present study aims to investigate the inhibitory potential of herbal component scutellarein towards the metabolism of AZT which is the first U.S. government-approved antiretroviral drug fo...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) flooding is one of the most important and used enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method because it does not only increase efficiency but also as an underground CO2 storage. It considered a very complex involves knowing fluid phase behavior with different concentrations. should be noted that swelling (volume increase) dissolution carbon has significant effect on recovery. When thi...

A new oil–gas Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) calculation algorithm is developed in this work based on the classic cell-to-cell simulation model. The proposed couples effects of capillary pressure and confinement original model to predict MMPs a confined space. Given that relies volume predictions reservoir fluids each cell, volume-translated Peng-Robinson Equation State (PR-EOS) applied for...

The knowledge of the phase equilibrium refrigerant mixtures is crucial for optimization production processes molecules, and design energetic systems (heat pumps, Organic Rankine Cycles, …). In this work, different predictive thermodynamic models (COSMO-RS COSMO-SAC-dsp) have been used to determine behavior refrigerants involving alkanes, fluorinated chlorinated compounds. COSMO-RS model leads r...

Abstract An improved phase-partitioning model is proposed for the prediction of mutual solubility in CO2-brine system containing Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, and SO42-. The correlations are computationally efficient reliable, they primarily designed incorporation into a multiphase flow simulator geology- energy-related applications including CO2 sequestration, CO2-enhanced geothermal systems, oil ...

The isothermal vapor + liquid equilibria of carbon dioxide (E)-2-hexenal (a key apple aroma) was measured using a visual equilibrium cell with an analytic methodology. selected isotherms were (313.2, 323.2 and 333.2) K, the pressures assessed ranged from (2.2–9.8) MPa. thermodynamic consistency experimental data verified, uncertainties molar fractions phases estimated. density dynamic viscosity...
