This work is a primary achievement in studying the CO2 and N2–oil systems. To predict gas-liquid relative permeability curves, a Shan-Chen type multicomponent multiphase lattice Boltzmann model for two-phase flow through 2D porous media is developed. Periodic and bounce back boundary conditions are applied to the model with the Guo scheme for the external body force (i.e., the pressure gradient...

In this work we propose an effective viscosity criterion for the stabilization of annular gas-liquid and liquid-particle flows and an inertial mechanism which drives waves into slugs in slugging gas-liquid flows. Annular flow is stable when the fluid having the higher effective viscosity occupies the core region and the lower viscosity fluid is the annulus. The eddy viscosity criterion is shown...

OBJECTIVE The levels of the surrogate markers of cholesterol absorption (cholestanol and plant sterols) and synthesis (cholesterol precursors) in serum have suggested that in adult type 1 diabetes, cholesterol absorption is high and synthesis is low compared with type 2 diabetic or control subjects. Accordingly, these findings were further studied in children with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DE...

In this contribution, two approaches are followed to predict the saturated liquid density of liquefied natural gas (LNG) mixtures. In one approach, 12 cubic equations of state (EoSs), comprising the popular Peng-Robinson (PR) and Redlich-Kwong-Soave (RKS), are employed to predict the saturated liquid density of 20 LNG mixtures. In the other approach, these EoS are used in conjunction with a rec...

In order to analyze the changing rules of temperature and pressure of the gas-liquid coupled field of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) tank under fire, the application of the wavelet finite element method on it is studied in depth. First, the research achievements of thermodynamics response of the LPG tank under fire and the wavelet finite element theory is summarized. Second the temperature-press...

Gas–liquid intermittent flow is a kind of pattern that distinguishes itself from the conventional by apparent non-steady feature, which causes serious corrosion issues, including localized corrosion. Although it widely exists in wet gas pipelines, how gas–liquid influences CO2 pipeline steels remains problem to be clarified. In this work, testing device enables good simulation pipelines under v...

Investigation of turbulency on the rate of induced liquid circulation, gas hold-up, mixing time and overall gas–liquid volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficient. The various types of surfactants (containing Brij58, TritonX-405, Tween40, HCTBr) with various concentrations of 1-5 ppm were examined on the operational characteristics of the reactor. In surfactant solutions (in comparison with pur...

comin the present study, co2 removal from natural gas stream has been studied using a flat sheet membrane contactor. a three dimensional mathematical model is developed to describe the process. the model considers the transport of a gas mixture containing carbon dioxide and methane through a flat sheet membrane contactor module. the model is based on the non-wetted mode of operation, in which t...

In this study, we first suggest a simple approach to characterize configuration of gas-aqueous liquid two-phase flow based on discrete solid-liquid contact electrification, which is a newly defined concept as a sequential process of solid-liquid contact and successive detachment of the contact liquid from the solid surface. This approach exhibits several advantages such as simple operation, pre...

Applications such as gas storage, gas separation, NP synthesis and supported ionic liquid phase catalysis depend upon the interaction of different species with the ionic liquid/gas surface. Consequently, these applications cannot proceed to the full extent of their potential without a profound understanding of the surface structure and properties. As a whole, this perspective contains more ques...
