This paper examines Nash jurisdictional stability in a model with a continuum of agents whose characteristics are distributed over a unidimensional interval. Communal benefits and costs of each individual depend on her identity and the composition of the community which she belongs to. Since the framework is too general to yield an existence of Nash equilibrium, we introduce the essentiality of...

Kinetics-free equilibrium models can predict the exit gas composition, given the solid composition and the equilibrium temperature, but they cannot be used for reactor design Hence, there is a need to develop a combined transport and kinetic model which takes into account of the kinetics of homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions, transport of volatiles produced, heat and mass transfer...

This paper discusses the modeling of non-equilibrium effects in inductively coupled plasma facilities. The model relies on the solution of the Navier-Stokes and Maxwell equations in a one-dimensional geometry. Steady-state solutions are obtained by means of an implicit Finite Volume method. Non-equilibrium effects are treated by means of a hybrid State-to-State formulation. The electronic state...

In order to achieve an adaptive and good performance service composition, this paper proposes a task-oriented web service discovery algorithm using semantic similarity for adaptive service composition. The approach divides the process of service composition into semantic discovery and functional matching and takes tasks as operation objects. A task-oriented web service discovery algorithm is de...

There are various approaches for QoS-based web service composition using GA (Genetic Algorithm). Most of them use the sum of the values of QoS properties times their weights as the fitness function of GA, to evaluate the QoS of service compositions. However, by using this function, the service composition calculated by GA has shortcomings. For example, response time of the produced service comp...

The effect of oleic acid (5 and 10% v/v) and xanthan gum (0.5 and 1% wt) on  partitioning and retention of ethyl acetate and diacetyl from two matrices with a different composition was investigated by applying static head space gas chromatography. Two matrices with different composition have been developed: one containing carbohydrates (xanthan gum) and in the second one, called co...

finding a representative fluid in a hydrocarbon reservoir is crucial for integrated reservoir management. in this study, a systematic approach for screening and selecting consistent fluid samples in a reservoir was developed. the model integrated quality control (qc) of well conditioning before sampling, qc of pvt data, thermodynamic modeling and compositional gradient within a reservoir. well ...

A precise experimental method for studying binary vapor-liquid equilibrium is to measure total pressure (P) as a function of the mole fraction in the liquid phase (2). The mole fraction in the vapor (y) is calculated from imthermal P-x experimental data using the Gibbs-Duhem equation. A similar procedure for adsorption is to measure total mass (m) of gas adsorbed as a function of the mole fract...

in this paper, a simplified formulation for compositional reservoir simulator is presented. these types of simulators are used when inter-phase mass transfer depends on phase composition as well as pressure. the procedure for solving compositional model equations is completely described. for equilibrium calculation, property estimation peng robinson equation of state is used. this equation was ...
