An analytic method for obtaining bounds on effective properties of composites is applied to the complex permittivity •* of sea ice. The sea ice is assumed to be a two-component random medium consisting of pure ice of permittivity 1⁄2• and brine of permittivity •2. The method exploits the properties of e* as an analytic function of the ratio El/e2 . Two types of bounds on •* are obtained. The fi...

Chemical oil recovery from offshore reservoirs which are usually characterised by harsh conditions such as high salinities have remained a source of concern. This study assesses chemical compatibilities alkalis –surfactant systems under salinity and divalent ions (Ca2+ Mg2+). It analysed the synergy between alkali-surfactant slugs crude oil, leading to design an optimal low-cost alkaline- surfa...

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of curing on the quality of beef and buffen and also to find out the relationship between the quality of beef and buffen with their storage time. Six treatments of which three from beef were taken as dry salt cured beef (A1), dry sugar cured beef (A2), brine cured beef (A3) and three from buffen as dry salt cured buffen (A4), dry sugar cured buf...

BACKGROUND This study investigates the generation of HCl and other acid gases from boiling calcium chloride dominated waters at atmospheric pressure, primarily using numerical modeling. The main focus of this investigation relates to the long-term geologic disposal of nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, where pore waters around waste-emplacement tunnels are expected to undergo boiling and ...

Water (brine) co-produced with oil in the Williston Basin is some of the most saline in the nation. The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR), characterized by glacial sediments and numerous wetlands, covers the northern and eastern portion of the Williston Basin. Sheridan County, Montana, lies within the PPR and has a documented history of brine contamination. Surface water and shallow groundwater in t...

UNLABELLED The objective of this study was to determine the influence of hydrodynamic pressure processing (HDP) and aging on the processing characteristics and final meat quality of moisture-enhanced pork loins. Boneless pork loins (n = 24) were split into 3 portions and assigned treatments: control (non-HDP treated, brine-injected), HDP treated before brine-injection, or HDP treated after brin...

Seawater desalination plants discharge brine which is at higher salt concentration than the supplied seawater feed. Diluting this brine by mixing it with the lower concentration feed (seawater) will reduce the environmental hazards associated with the high salt concentration of the disposed brine. Energy can be generated from the dilution process in which two streams of different salt concentra...

Natural gas explosions and fire destroyed two businesses in downtown Hutchinson and two residents of a mobile-home park also died of injuries from explosions. Gas geyser eruptions spewing a mixture of natural gas and saltwater in the area forced the evacuation of hundreds of people. The pathways to the land surface at both the explosion sites and the geysers were abandoned brine wells used for ...

Copepods and brine shrimp, which represent different species of zooplankton with similar inertial time constant, can behave very differently when subjected to velocity gradients in unsteady or turbulent flows. Upon sensing hydrodynamic disturbances, copepods can respond with rapid acceleration and high speed. Brine shrimp, on the other hand are more passive and capable of only small relative sw...
