We use high-resolution three-dimensional X-ray microtomography to investigate fluid displacement during steady-state three-phase flow in a cm-sized water-wet sandstone rock sample. The pressure differential across the sample is measured which enables determination of relative permeability; capillary also estimated from interfacial curvature. Though permeabilities are consistent, within experime...

In this paper, we investigated the athermal pressure behavior of the structural and elastic properties of scheelite BaWO4 phase up to 7 GPa using the ab initio pseudo-potential method. The calculated lattice parameters pressure relation have been compared with the experimental values and found to be in good agreement with these results. Moreover, we present for the first time the investigation ...

a mathematical model for commercial naphtha catalytic reformer of tehran refinery was developed. this model includes three sequencing fixed beds of pt/al2o3 catalyst at the steady state condition using detailed kinetic scheme involving 26 pseudo-components connected by a network of 47 reactions, in the range of c6 to c9 hydrocarbons. the reaction network consisted dehydrogenation, hydrogenation...

The transient kinetic behavior of enzyme reactions prior to the establishment of steady state is a major source of mechanistic information, yet this approach has not been utilized for cellulases acting on their natural substrate, insoluble cellulose. Here, we elucidate the pre-steady-state regime for the exo-acting cellulase Cel7A using amperometric biosensors and an explicit model for processi...

Microcirculatory vessel response to changes in pressure, known as the myogenic response, is a key component of a tissue's ability to regulate blood flow. Experimental studies have not clearly elucidated the mechanical signal in the vessel wall governing steady-state reduction in vessel diameter upon an increase in intraluminal pressure. In this study, a multiscale computational model is constru...

In this research, modeling, simulation, and control of a methanol-to-olefins laboratory fixed-bed reactor with electrical resistance furnace have been investigated in both steady-state and dynamic conditions. The reactor was modeled as a one-dimensional pseudo-homogeneous system. Then, the reactor was simulated at steady-state conditions and the effect of different parameters including...
